Due to the engine regulation the final engine from japan/brazil can only be used, so we shall see this weekend how fast mclaren are if they can keep up with the ferrari then alonso has a chnace otherwise ferrari dominence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think kimi and alonso and massa(to some extent) have similar skills so thus engines will decide the place for top 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think kimi and alonso and massa(to some extent) have similar skills so thus engines will decide the place for top 3 Driver skill is almost a wash between Alonso and Kimi but Massa will not be as competitive as Kimi so let's set him aside for the moment. The factors for relative success will be as follows: 1. Reliability 2. Making best use of the tyres (car and driver) 3. Aero 4. Engines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allow me... The key factors to relative success next year are, as I mentioned: 1. Reliability 2. Making best use of the tyres 3. Aero 4. Engines Reliability should again be a problem with McLaren although to a lesser extent if there recent form gives any indication. The problems with McLaren's QA/QC will take more time than the off-season allows to sort... If there is carry over in design philosophy, the McLaren should again be very easy on its tyres. I don't think there is any advantage in Ferrari's familiarity with Bridgestone tyres because the construction and compound will both be very different. Even small changes between races throw the teams off, so with massive changes like we shall see next year, Ferrari will effectively be starting from scratch. The Ferrari should again be superior in this department, perhaps even more so with the technical losses at McLaren. Engines - who knows, maybe McLaren will come back somewhat with the changes they made in this department coming to fruition? Overall, I think the advantages in reliability and chassis design will compensate for the possibly better usage of tyres the McLaren will enjoy... I'm predicting a Raikkonnen WDC next year.

I have prdicted kimi for wdc earlier and agree with you on most accounts except the one with mclaren enjoying better usage of tyres. Ferrari know the staff of bridgestone well familarity also helps teams, like a staff of BS went from handling Ferrari to Mclaen and casually let it slip to anyother worker who is working for ferrari wat mclaren are using so.... Bridgestone will have a soft spot to ferrari for supporting them for so many years. I expect that situation to improve in '07.
