I bet Schumi will stay in Ferrari as Team manager, helping the Technical Director..

After watching Kimi Raikkonen coming from the back of the grid at the Bahrain Grand Prix, I believe the McLaren-Mercedes team have to be at least co-favourites with Renault. However, I'll give McLaren the nod to capture the 2006 constructors' title.

i doubt it, he is just going to push Ferrari's new car to the limit and blowout every engine again ! (sorry to say that but i used to be a Mclaren Fan) stopped watching F1 cause its already being dominated. BORING ! try watching A1, Cheers

All previous answers have no reasoning behind them. I can also pick whoever I want just because I like one driver and not another. However, your question can and does have valid analytical basis to determine a probable coherent answer:\n\n1) The top teams now are Ferrari and Renault. Actually Ferrari is a little bit faster right now.\n\n2) The Ferrari and Renault drivers are Schumacher, Massa, Alonso and Fisichella. Therefore, given the car package, all four have winning potential.\n\n3) Alonso is on a roll, and he can only lose the championship now. He is arrogant, and his arrogance will keep him ahead of teammate Fisichella.\n\n4) Massa with Ferrari hasn't shown character and determination. He doesn't look like a winner at this stage of his career.\n\n5) Michael is strong, extremely angry, and ready to prove a point. Regardless of his 7 championships, he is still like a kid who wants to show his abilities. We all know them, but he wants to win, win, win.\n\n6) So, you are right in picking Schumi and Alonso as the favorites for Silverstone.\n\n7) Between the two, Schumi is still angry from Monaco, and his car is a tiny bit faster at this juncture (thank to Bridgestone). So, penalties aside, or catastrophic mishaps, Schumacher will win. I have no doubt about it.\n\nNow, I gave you reasons, and explained why. Ponder, ponder, ponder.

No doubt its Schumi...

Alonso, without a doubt. The Renaults are the best cars out there at the moment. If McLaren could get their act together, Kimi Raikkonnen would have a shot.

Yes he can, but I feel Alonso will win again. I wish F1A would go back to the one engine per race rule and stop making teams use the same engine for more than one race. Schumacher is the best. \n I never understood why Renault got out of Formula 1 in the 1990's. They were on top with Schumacher as the champ for Williams.

all the drivers currently in this business started out as karthikeyan or even worse.though driving skills are important but f-1 still is more a fight between different technologies.so the better the car,the better are the chances of winning.who knew alonso till he joined renault.it's the car which did the magic

Alonso will get Schumacher's position once Schumy retires.

Let's wait until the new cars are launched and the drivers put some test mileage on them.\nWe have absolutely no idea who will have a really good car and who will have an uncompetitive and unreliable one. McLaren had a decent year in 2005, but who would have guessed the team would go without a win in 2006.\nTires/tyres may be the great equalizer in 2007; with a single tire/tyre supplier, look for harder compounds than we saw this year, then look for a car that best uses its tires/tyres.

Yes it will be Jenson Button who will win the Monaco grand prix if Kimi dies of a massive heart attack and Alonso when I shoot him with my snipper rifle. \nHey! Button is way to behind on the phase, he should work a lot to come first.

McLaren's lack of reliability is not only due to the drivers, but also because of some design faults. Just look at what happened in Monaco. There was a heat shield made of carbon that malfunctioned and caught fire probably because it was too close to the engine. It affected the wiring of the car and that was it. And I believe that Kimi only has chances to shine if he joins Ferrari or Renault.

'Hard to say.  It could be Schumi, Kimi, Alonso or even Rosberg.  But since I'm rooting for Ferrari.  Then Schumacher it is............................................

Yes, I doubt he's going to want to be teamed up with Fernando Alonzo next year.  He's pretty much at the peak of his game, if he had a car that could finish races.  He can dictate his terms to any team that is interested.

Well there's the obvious: Pedro De La Rosa, Lewis Hamilton and Gary Paffett. \n\nOut of these three I'd say Pedro because he is the type you'd want as 2nd driver. Lewis is to inexperienced to take the seat and Gary I think has been pushed a side because of Lewis.\n\nThere's also another: Mika Hakkinen. He's been having a few runs on the McLaren simulator for the past few months. It would also give Ron a pair of experienced (both being double world champions) drivers. Just what he needs after a 'brilliant' 2006 season.

Updated with more recent pre-season testing info- the favorites have to be Alonso with Renault and Kimi Raikkonen at Mclaren.\n\nRenault so far have looked untouchable on long runs- combining great pace, consistency and reliability. The few times they've gone for qualifying runs, they've been head and shoulders above the rest.\n\nMclaren started with a disasterous pre-season where the new Mercedes V8 engine was woefully down on power and unreliable to boot. It looked like to start the season they would have the weakest engine- and even so couldn't guarentee the necessary 2-race reliability. A shame since their car looked like a gem again.\n\nHowever in the last couple weeks, Mclaren have made HUGE progress in their engine and their most recent tests have been quite reliable. As of now, they look on par with Renault for all out pace, though their consistency may not be quite as good. \n\nThe dark horse has to be Ferrari - after a disasterous 2005 season, the 248 F1 was to be the car to propel them back to glory. While their V8 engine looks quite good, their testing times have not been on par with Renault- both in all-out speed and consistency. Most of the paddock agrees that Michelin still have the edge on Bridgestone this year, and we all know tires by far make the largest impact on performance.\n\nHowever- if Bridgestone can pull a 2004 where they combined a super compound with new construction very late in testing, they could very easily rise to the top again. Ferrari's fortune is tied to their tires, so for now, it looks like Renault and Mclaren will be the front-runners.\n\nLook to Honda and Williams to possibly steal a win or two due to their fantastic engines and good cars.
