For the past two season it's Renault and its driver Alonso.\nIf you look at the previous records you can't compare Ferrari and Schumi with anybody.

Well.. alonso will never ever be as good as Michael.. the only problem is that Ferrari have not yet found the perfect car... they will soon.. and beleive me the win at Imola was not a matter of chance.. Michael is still by far the best formula one driver the world's would see.. let's see if Alonso can grab as much title as Michael did and then we will be able to compare.. but for the moment.. no way Alonso's still a rookie comparing to Michael. Maybe he will win the title this year coz ferrari isn't at it's best while renault is.. but come on give Michael a good car.. and see what he can do.. he can kick Alonso's ass by far :P

Formula Three teams usually depend on drivers bringing sponsorship to the team. I'm sure the budget for a single car with a British F3 team would be at least $500,000.

I'm a Jenson Button fan and I'm disappointed on what I saw last weekend.\n\nFrom the start and the first curve, Button just guarded Alonso in several overtaking attempts. The Renault power is pulling the 1 and 2 cars and not the drivers' skills. Renault's acceleration is the best and there's no doubt about it last season and the 3 races so far this season.\n\nI hope I don't see this bragging foolish Spaniard in the podium again. But stil don't count out Kimi Raikonnen. He's hungrier than ever.

IF Aston Martin can shake off the reliability bugs that bit them in the 2005 Le Mans, then yes, but by a lap or less. It'd have to be pretty damn close.\n\nNow, if you had asked if the DBR9 could beat the C5R, there'd be no way! :P

do you mean Drift - the new way to race cars that started in Japan?

It would be a waste of time and energy and impossible to enforce. Spending a lot of money doesn't guarantee success; Toyota, believed to be the biggest spenders in the paddock aren't having a lot of success, but Renault, with a smaller budget than Toyota, Ferrari and McLaren are.

Fernando I've the sexiest ar*e in Formula 1 Alonso.  Unless Schumi can pull something out of the hat.  Won't help his ar*e though.\n\nWith regard to the Jenson Buttone comment, he's crap at the moment because Honda gave him Sato's old car, which clearly runs on diesel, so Rubens could have the good one. :)

The formula 1 season is only 4 races in but fernando alonso won it in 2005 and my guess is he is going to win it again this year (he is currently in the lead by about 15 points).  I dont think he will three peat next year though as he has already signed to drive for mclaren next year replacing probably Kimi.

The cars might look alike but there is a huge difference. On speed, Indy cars are faster but this is more due to the type of track that they race on. You can go flat out better on an oval track than a track with turns and chicanes. And especially now that F1 uses V8s instead of the V10s. On an oval track you make very few gear changes while on a specially designed F1 track as more as 3,000 gear changes. On the design, F1 cars a built with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. And each car has a specific aero specification for each circuit. The FIA have limited development on very few areas of the car. So that's were geniuses like Adrian Newey and Rory Byrne work their magic. On tracks like Monaco cars use more downforce. In F1, teams have to construct their own chassis while in IRL they are allowed to buy it. F1 is also the riches with Team Mclaren-Mercedes being the highest spender for 2005. An F1, team employs about 500 or more people for engine development, aero and etc. And in terms of popularity, F1 is reportedly the second most watched sporting event next to the World Cup.

Cosworth. In the 70's and 80's it was identified as Ford/Cosworth. It has always been a racing engine manufacturer (division of Ford Motors) that really monopolized F1 for many years being used by almost all teams (against the only other engine, Ferrari, during those times). Then they disappeared from the F1 scene for a while. Now they are back with Williams. They displayed a good engine so far with sensational power. In the 4 races so far this season, we have seen the Cosworth powered Williams being very fast. In the first race of the year in Bahrain, Nico Rosberg obtained the fastest lap in the race. A nice reward for a relatively new F1 engine-development program.

I have to disagree with you. Although I have been a Ferrari fan basically since birth, I must say McLaren is always a top team. Renault has come and gone, and they will go again, soon. Trust me. But McLaren is an institution which will remain. Now they have some issues, and the package is not as good as Ferrari's and Renault. But look at where Ferrari was a few races ago? Everybody thought they were done and dead. It takes very little in F1 to emerge again. McLaren has the capability to win races this year.\n\nAs far as Kimi to Ferrari is concerned, aside from a lot of rumors, there is nothing confirmed about this move. It would make sense, but Schumacher has not yet made a decision about his future. Massa was hired only a few months ago. And they are also talking to Moto GP champion Valentino Rossi. As of this precise moment, Kimi will not be a Ferrari driver next year. I wish things would mature towards an agreement because Kimi is the fastest driver today, and he would look good in a red jumpsuit.

None of the other answers mention that: He's going for the MONEY! Renault pride themselves on their small budgets. But who in there right mind would turn down an extra million or two in your salary, just to "pride yourself on cost cutting."\n\nI do think he will do well at McLaren. Kimi races the arse off that car & innevitably breaks it. Alonso is much better at pacing himself to get the best result.\n\nI do hope Kimi stays & they race each other in the same car. I think it would be great if Montoya then goes to renault & beats them both!

Look at the British Grand Prix official page, maybe they got any reference about that.
