Rob2012 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 This will be a good year for British drivers imho: With Schumi gone and Alonso and Raikkonen having to get used to new teams, Button could be a surprise title challenger this season. Coulthard will be as steady as ever in his Red Bull and I'm sure he'll pick up a few points this season. Antony Davidson returns to F1 in a Super Aguri and he may pick up a point or two. Lewis Hamilton is the one to really look out for at McLaren. I hope he really pushes Alonso and the team let the two race each other. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this guy performs.

arwebb Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 McLaren have a lot of work to do to be realistic title challengers based on last year. I agree about Button, though. I reckon he and Honda could well be in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwebb Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 A candidate, certainly. I have a feeling this year's championship could be very wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Until we know how the cars perform we can't say that though. I don't think anyone was expecting McLaren's dominance in the late 90's, when in the first race of the season Coulthard and Hakinnen lapped everyone else on the circuit. There may be one car which is much, much better than the rest; we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 There may be, but it could just as easily be a very open and competitive series, particularly with the switch to the sole tyre company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
