Mark would look good in any colour. What we want for Mark is to get a decent car so he can show the rest of the world what we Aussies already know.

I'll say it again, he's too tall to fit the renault around him!
His head would block the air intake

Maybe with some off season surgery.........

They are going to cut a hole in the base of the car, and fit the keel to his race suit

That and running a belt sander across the top of his head. About 30mm should do the trick. The new helmet design will be interesting

They do a good spare head removal operation down in Tassie. (lots of experience) Could reattach it on his left shoulder. Good for anti clockwise circuits

Mark has been quoted in AutoAction (Australia) as saying that he cannot make a decision about next year until he knows wether SF will take up the option on him. The quickest way out of the Williams Team, if that is what Mark wants, is to ask for more money. >>>>>>>>>>Whooooooshkaaa !!
The article also leads one to believe that Mark would be more than happy to accept a seat at Renault, and wouldn't care who his teammate was

There might be at least 18 current F1 drivers who would join RENAULT regardless of their teammate....

However it is well possible that WILLIAMS get their act together for next year while RENAULT lose it slightly.

MARK shouldnt switch anywhere than to one of the current top 4 teams which includes TOYOTA.

JENSONs faith in HONDA was not quite rewarded and he might regret not to have switched to WILLIAMS in the end....

Mark simply cannot do anything til SF says yay or nay to the option he has on Mark.If SF says "Mark, you are staying here" there is a way out.
Mark can ask for $5:75c more and SF will give him the flick

Just so I understand correctly:

Would that be $US or $Aus

Webber would be crazy staying at Williams. Their car is neither reliable nor fast. Red Bull would be a better bet, even the old Minardi team may be a good option.

Don't know why people keep thinking he has a chance at Renault. If Fisichella wasn't there then maybe but without getting too patriotic, Webber and Fisichella are on a similar level so why would Renault have two drivers with a small chance of winning the championship ?.
