Well the 2007 Season is done & dusted, but the fireworks are not over
yet. Due to the fact that the devolment of the 2008 MM started way back
in Jan of 2007 some of the 'Ferrari stolen technology' is likely to be
incorporated in the 2008 MM car. so the FIA will be scrutinising very
closely all of the high tech changes/developments, so the new season
could start of with MM......
* having negative constructiors points
or
* being disqualified AGAIN from the constructors title
or
* being banned completely from the 2008 drivers championship race.

Interesting stuff....watch this space!

For F1 2008, I'd like to see Renault & BMW rise to the occasion
challenging Ferrari & MM.
Renault need to look into their current crop of drivers as they're not
performing to expectations.

I reckon Renault will do better this year with FA back to the team. Let
see whether Lewis could develope the car and fo sure Ferrari will be hard
to beat.

Can't wait for season to start. Renault has the potential to challenge
for top drivers championship but probably not for constructors title.

its nice to see BMW come up tops after a string performance in season
2007.

nick heidfeld certainly deserves winning. both his ex-teammate, Felipe
Massa and Kimi Raikonen are already in a champion team. winning as many
races and even becoming world champion.

its going to be a three team fight this season between Ferrari, McLaren
and BMW. ALonso will join the crowd, although Kovalainen star wont be so
bright. not yet.

thats what i predict.

Judging from the pre-season test in Barcelona and Jerez...it looks like the
Ferraris and MM will be once again challenging for the drivers and
constructors title in 2008.

I find it odd that Kovy isn't getting enough drive time with the MP4-23
compared to Hamilton..a sign of MM assigning Hamilton as the number one and
Kovy the number two ? My guess it good as yours.

Kovy is a naturally gifted driver in my opinion...better than Nico Rosberg
and Nelson Piquet Jr. I was surprised that Renault gave Kovy the boot and
replaced him with Piquet Jr.

I doubt Renault and Alonso will even step on the podium...5th place
regulars I foresee...

BMW...well....I think Heidfeld and Mario are sand-bagging....they whine
about the F1.08 is off the pace but in fact I think the BMW is able to
challenge MM and Ferrari..

Williams.....unless the secure some financial backing I don't see them
challenging for podiums...unless either MM or Ferraris...gets a DNF...

Honda.....they managed to get Ross Brawn on board and that in itself is a
big bonus...but I doubt Honda will ever repeat the '05 and 06 form...

Ferrari is still the team to beat. Biggest change of 2008 is removal of
traction control, who ever can adopt better will have upper hand. Can't
wait for it to start, anyone going Sepang to watch it live?

The season is begining to look good. It`s anyone guess at the moment who
will come out on top, but with four or five possibilities it should all
add up to a great viewing season

Sadly a potentially great race on Sunday was ruined by the pit lane
incident. Still Lewis's & kimmi's loss os BMW's gain and now things are
even more interesting!!
