The wait is almost over!
In slightly over a week, the 2006 F1 season will come.
So far in testing, it looks like Renault will once again be very strong. World Champ Alonso looks like a strong bet for his second title. However, teammate Fisico will have to dig deep to perform at the same level as his younger colleague. They have been both quick and reliable so far.
Next up is Honda. All their drivers have been spectacular at one time or another during testing, even test driver Ant Davidson. They have also run the most test mileage. Honda may surprise by even beating Renault this year. But let’s see if they hold up for the whole season.
What about McLaren? Once again, reliability has been their achilles heel. On occassion, however they have been quick. Let’s see.
Ferrari look like they are having a bit of a renaissance… however, the key to their success are their bridgestone tyres. It is interesting though that Massa is looking as quick as Schumi.
I will add more in the next few days.
