F1 2007

[BD]

Interestingly, Ferrari lost MS, Ross Brown, Jean Todt, and Paolo Martinelli. So they lost their star driver, master tactician, team director, and engine designer.... Not good

Renault lost FA, which leave Fisichella as their number one... Not good

Toyota... Never good to begin with

Williams... Toyota engine... A good sign, but may not be good enough

BMW--- A great threat, with Kubica, they will be in top three

Honda... The only team with stability, every thing in tact. It is up to the aero department to make it happen

RedBull... Adrian Newey, will be in the top four. With either Renault or Ferrari Engine. If with Renault engine, they might not beat the factory team, but with Ferrari... Who knows.

McLaren... Without Adrian Newey. FA can only do so much....

All others, don't care!!!!

Well, the CEO of Honda said, they will introduce the NSX after they won a GP. They did just that this year.

They also got Vettel, by far the biggest talent of the young test drivers. Great character for a 19 year old.

I thought Jean todt is still at Ferrari as managing director and new CEO.

Yes, it is a shame Davidson did not get a chance to race for Honda. He seems to have great potential.
Also, from listening to Button, the Hondas are still short on power in comparison to the Ferraris and Renaults.

Yes, but that's for Ferrari Commercial Division, not F1 Division. It has been said that his involvement for the last few years were getting less and less. It will be harder and harder for him to be in F1 if his job is to sell the cars.

Honda is actually about same as Renault in HP, it's the aero that's lacking speed. They actually have good speed during early stage, but some how having problem keep up the pace. BUT towards the end of the season, they were getting better.

Barrichello will have one more chance, if not, Davidson will replace him. I don't think they can land any drivers such as FA and KR until they start to win races on the regular basis. I believe Super Aguri will give him the experience he needs. Davidson raced couple of times, and he wasn't very good YET under racing condition. In the past, when Honda was winning, they always get the best driver.

The team seemed to turn a corner about half way through the season. It was about the time Ruebens remembered how to drive.:biggrin:

It is 100% Honda now. This year's mediocraty might have a lot to do with the integration of between the management of Japan and BAR. Took Renault a few years to get in line from Beneton. Honda now has all the material resources they need, full size wind tunnel, staff, and "maybe' the drivers line up.

I'm excited about this lineup. Kubica has shown great promise and Vettel is a real talent.

Kimi and Massa are going to be tough to beat if the car is decent. Real tough. Massa looks like the best number two in the biz. Boy did he grow in 06 as a driver!

If Honda can get their stuff together they should be right there. I don't mind Barrichello in there as he's cheap, proven talent. He'll never be a number one but he's a great number two and he knows his place and he's professional. I feel better with Davidson waiting in the wings anyway. With Button's newfound confidence I can't wait for 07.
