In '08 is too far to predict

It will be interesting to see if Alonso can do it again this year. Will also be interesting to see how the team reacts to him with the new pressures.

If I was to take an early stab at predicting, I would pick him somewhere in the top 20.

I will be braver than that and pick him in the top 15

I think you said the same at the start of last season

And I backed the winner and won both competitions here

Optimistic - Yes, Right - Yes too

And being First is also being in the top 20 or top 15

Montoya will win the championship next year and will stay at McLaren.

In 2007 he'll easily beat Alonso

But I must say that Alonso is very brave to jump into McLaren knowing that he'll race against a very tough and experienced team-mate.

And yes I agree with JayVee, thank you Ron Dennis.

Has JPm had his contract renewed now that the deadline has passed ? A whisper says no

there are reports in various european media that Kimi has signed the deal with Ferrari for next year. What will happen to Massa, if Schuey stays ?

Massa's not going anywhere, Schumi is going to McLaren next year, he's 's stung by what JayVee's been saying and wants to try to set the record straight.

Massa's not going anywhere. Schumi is setting his bambino series

Schumi never had a strong teammate. Now at the end of his career where he spins behind safety cars he teammates with Alonso ...... what time did you make that post Redhead

But I like the try bit

And what of the rumours of Renault chucking in the towel at the end of 07. Very disturbing indeed.

Montoya is a Fool. It was obvious as soon as his McLaren deal was announced that he would have a rubbish season with Williams and throw his toys out the pram, and that upon arrival at McLaren he would not be as fast as Kimi, he would not be consistent throughout the season, just like at Williams, all he is capable of is being a nuisance to his team-mate and blowing allot of hot air and taking time and effort away from those who are serious about their job, I really can't see Alonso wanting to share a team with him, I mean he might but it wouldn't be pretty. It wouldn't surprise me if Montoya made a big money move to Toyota, it would seem to suit their marketing strategy and Motoyas wallet. He isn't in the same class as Alonso or Raikkonen, and they're a way off Michael.

As for Renault, they're quitters. They've done it before and they'll do it again. Ferrari are the only truly committed team in F1 to F1, Renault just flit in and out whenever it suits them, screw their partners and the sport.

Alonso just has to hope that Mclaren can make a good car and Merc can make a non-exploding engine. The move could be catastrophic in the wake of the Newey departure as well as the others that have left, you just don't know right now how they will handle it unless anyone has some serious insider information, anyone?

And HOW do you know Flav wasn't involved in Alonsos' move? He has to say he wasn't involved or he'd get himself in some serious sh**, he just let go of the first dude to win a championship for Renault since '97 without having a proven replacement. HE WAS INVOLVED, I don't buy that cr*p (read in silly childish accent) "er Alonstho went behind my back and sealed a multi million dollar racing contract all by himself, I mean what a sthneaky little so and so, how dare he now I'm really angry but I'm still gonna manage him and take a cut even though he's perfectly capable of negotiating with some of the hardest negotiators in F1 all by himself, and treats me like I'm not even there" COME ON!!! HE WAS IN ON IT, HE'S TAKING A FAT WEDGE OF GREEN OFF RON AND HE'S LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO HIS PRIVATE BANK IN THE CATACOMBS OF HIS KENYAN HOLIDAY CASTLE.

Fresh challenges are essential for any sportsman, and he has taken the decision to pursue a new direction in his career. That is part of Formula 1, and part of life.
Full Statement

YEAH RIGHT. Read as "We're p*ss*d. F***ing p*ss*d, now we ain't gonna be winning any championships before we leave F1 except Formula Renault and maybe F1 '06 if that two-timing Spaniard can keep his motivation up"

Schumi's never had a strong team-mate? I suppose you don't really rate Nelson Piquet then, pardon sorry who is he did you say? dear dear dear

As for Massa it doesn't matter if Schui's there or not Massa aint gonna be in that race car. Not unless Rossi has a biking accident or decides that F1 just isn't for him. And there have been reports in the European media for the last five years about Kimi and Ferrari.

OH yeah and you see your signature JayVee, would it possible for Alonso to win in F1 on anything other than Michelins this season?

Applying what passes for your own logic, I assume you have access to Flavio's banking details,
Montoya's contract details et al.
In other word, how do YOU know?
It might pay you to have a look at just who has signed with the technical staff of McLaren of late.
I know I might be just a tad biased, but I do suspect that Williams might be just a tad committed to F1.
A word of advice, oh callow youth. If you are going to berate JV, make sure you use facts, and nothing but facts, make damn sure those facts are correct, keep your back to the wall, your powder dry.....and.....Good luck

I don't mind saying I don't know for sure, how could I know unless I was some kind of secret F1 middle-man.

It's all speculative bullsh*t like most of the posts on this site, I can freely admit that. Anyway that's not berating and if it was I'd do it as I please facts or no facts, and how do you know I am of any youth, that's an offensive assumption. The comment about Ferrari being the ONLY team committed to F1 is obviously exaggerated so don't get your knickers in twist. I'm off to the pleasant thread.

An offensive assumption possibly, however, given that you are a student proclaiming that you reside in a bedroom, it is a logically inescapable assumption.
