Any fans out there? Should be an interesting season with all the dominant drivers switching teams. Talking Points:
1. Michael Schumacher - retired [finally]
2. Fernando Alonso - Long time Renault driver now at MacLaren. Can they get their act together, for him to match Fangio's record (only driver to win back to back championships in different teams)
3. Kimi Raikkonen - Long time Maclaren driver now at Ferrari. Can he finally become champ with what is always a fast, reliable car?
Other questions:
4. Can Williams revive their performance? The once proud team had a disastorous 2006. What can we expect in 2007 especially with all the teams adapting to a new tire situation. Their driver lineup is not too promising (Rosberg in only his second year and Wurz hasn't had a full time drive since 2000 or 2001)
5. Where will Red Bull find themselves this year with Adrian Newey and a pretty decent driver lineup (experienced and accomplished Coulthard and the always promising and hungry Webber)?
6. Will Honda and Toyota dissapoint again?
7. Can Fisichella finally step up and challenge for the championship with a team that has won twice in a row, and has no other continuity issues other than losing Fernando? How will Heikki match him?
8. Has Massa really grown up and can he be a match for Raikkonen?
I'm looking forward to this season for the above reasons. Plan on going to my first GP in June (Canada). Hope Raikkonen wins his first championship. I also hope Williams has a good year.
Thoughts?
