Are the McLaren already doomed to a bad season?

They seem to struggle with, once again reliability issue, and the departure of Newey and Peter Prodromou (chief aerodynamicist) can do any good

I read this a coupld of days back. It seems that they already have engine troubles.

Newey's gone? Did he retire, or go to another team?

To Red Bull

With a good budget, the best design guru and the Ferrari engine, they may race for some points

Haha, that'll put the cat in with the pigeons.

2007 Kimi will drive for Ferrari.

2007 Kimi will drive for Ferrari.

Most probably

It's not sure it's the best he could do though
Ferrari will not dominate again as they did during the Schumi years

 

[Mr. dB]

Is it official that Schumacher is retiring after 2006?

'Cause I think he'll walk by mid-season if the car is as uncompetitive as last year.

When did KR decide to get back into the picture?

I have missed all of the off-season politics and gossip this year.

It's not official but it's probable

Kimi and Rossi could then go to Ferrari in 2007

 

[Mr. dB]

I had a brain fart, I was reading "Kimi" and thinking "Mika". Never mind.

If Ferrari can't get its act together then Kimi might not want to drive for them. Someone is going to have to make room for Alonzo, though. Even Vodafone jumped ship from Ferrari.

 

[manny78]

Are they racing with the new rules/engines (V8) or do they still use their V10 this year ?

 

[Mr. dB]

This is year one for the V8 formula.

So all the teams are starting from a mostly clean slate.

Should be interesting, if not chaotic.
