Is this actually a genuine Newey thang or a 2006 thang with some Newey bits on?
Not entirely new design... yet.

None of the cars out there are 07 spec. Some are hybrids (basically an 06 car with bits from the 07 car such as the gearbox for example).

Of course there are no new engines for next year. They will run the same engines they ran at the last 2 races in 2006 for the next 3 years.

As far as we know, Red Bull are still running the Ferrari engine and Williams are running the Cosworth engine but we will confirm soon.

Anothony Davidson in the Super Aguri is doing well again today. The Super Aguri team have improved considerably from where they were less than a year ago!

If you recall, Super Aguri and Sato had a very good race in Brazil.

They started to show steady progress after they ironed out the early problems with their new car.
