What's interesting, no one seems to have much faith left in Renault... Watched a program today with Briatore as guest. He says that Renault will surprise everyone and continue to be strong to end up with the third consecutive WCC. He did not explicitly mention WDC but I guess that comes with the package... Now personally I don't see Fisi crowned WDC. As for Kovalainen... He's a rookie yet and there are quite a few good opponents in competitive cars. I guess Briatore spoke too big too soon this time. But then he has to show that confidence.
It would take a mighty big step for Fisi to win the WDC... and it would be unusual for a rookie to take out the WDC in his first year... not impossible but definitely unusual.

There are very good solid drivers and there are extreme racing maniacs... :lol:

When MIKA left MCLAREN, some people were expecting DAVID to shrug of the pressure and take over the No.1 status showing the way to the young talent KIMI. It didnt turn out that way...Neither will it happen at RENAULT - HEIKKI will soon more than match FISICO...

However I feel the top 4 will be FELIPE, KIMI, FERNANDO and JENSON.. :wink:

Good post. But I wouldn't discount Kovalainen. He may be a rookie yet but he'll be driving a Renault and them Finns can surely drive :)
