[Attila Domján]

Thanks very much Jari!

[Patrick van Driel]

As long as they both beat Alonslow next season

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

You mean Mr. Eyebrow

 

[Attila Domján]

Alon...who?

maaaan, how much i do not like that folk.....

I think McLaren will form a strong team with Heike been added to the drivers.

Bye bye Alonso :roll:

Yes! I think that too Bram!
McLaren Mercedes is a great Formula-1 team! Can you remember the very very good Danish Formula-1 driver: Jan Magnussen ? He was in the Stuart Ford team, but only for a short time... He got fired only because he did not win the world championship in his first season. McLaren is not like that! see how many years my favourite driver Mika Hakkinen was driving with McLaren, before he won his first world championship. I really hope that the great driver Heikki Kovalainen will feel home in the McLaren team!

Fisi signs with Force India

According to automoto365.com, Giancarlo Fisichella has signed a contract with Force India. Fisichella, who did not receive a new contract at Renault, ended up in a shoot-out for the seat during the test-sesstion at Jerez earlier this month. It appears that the experienced Roman had the upper-hand over Ralf Schumacher, Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi. An official announcement by Force India is yet to be made.

I dont get Spyker/Force india.. Why not a talented Indian driver in the team... The country has great potential and i am sure it will be better to raise some funds if they have a native driver....

Personally i think Fisi is at the end of his F1 career. Maybe better to join the WTCC

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Which indian driver is better than Fisi?

Karthikeyan? - He was beaten by Monteiro who was on one level with Albers
Chandhok? - Maybe next year, but F1 would come too earky for him. Showed great potential in GP2, but no consistency. But the future speaks for him.

I like Fisi so I'm pleased he's with Force India, so he can do a good job and push for some unexpected results to be the old Fisi. Remember Brazil 2002!

Oh, and of course Fisi is a better choice than those Ex-RedBull rookies...

 

[Wido Rossen]

Personally i think Fisi is at the end of his F1 career. Maybe better to join the WTCC

Yep , end of story.
I gues it will be like Bram said WTCC or DTM or that speedcar serie`s.

Looks like a very talented young line up. But why would Force India hire Fissi and Red Bull with Coulthard i dont understand ;(

Power to the young drivers!

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Fisi: Might help developing the car and bringing consistency into the team. Klien may be faster for a quali lap, but not constant in a race, and will produce more crashes. Same type as Sutil. I think Fisi + Sutil is a quite good line up.

David: Proved last year he's not as fast as Webber, but still good and he definately knows the car. Last season for him?

But what I don't understand is why Honda hires Barrichello. He had a terrible season, and, in contrast to Button who could get at least some points, showed he already had his best times.

Also I think Piquet brings alot Brazilian sponsors to Renault...

 

[James Johnson]

Ross Brawn + Barrichello = Hopefully good car

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Piquet family is not really populair in Brasil as far as i know

 

[TobiasR]

It´s been a long time, since my last post here, lol

To be honest, Piquet jr is overrated in my opinion. He had no chance against Rosberg and Kova, as well as Hamilton.

Why should Honda not keep Barichello? In 2006, when the Honda worked, he had some pretty good races and qualifyings. He was able to beat Button in a few. He has experience and will give his feedback from the car.

I´m hoping for Kubica in 2008. I like him very much, he seems to be the bravest driver in the whole field. The cars have no TC any longer, which will help Kubica and is driving style, but I hope Bridgestone will also provide tires, which support his driving style. Christian Danner mentioned, that Kubica had to change his driving, because the tires didn´t work well with his aggressive style. Kubica gogogogo!!! Bridgestone please provide tires!!!

 

[James Johnson]

i thought Kubica was struggling with Bridgestones?

 

[MrMystic]

That's why dubbe wants Bridgestone to provide Kubica-Style tires

 

[James Johnson]

That's why dubbe wants Bridgestone to provide Kubica-Style tires

how about bridgestone tyres suited to the bmw itself wont do much good if it was only kubica suited and not the bmw aswell
