Red Bull will be one of the best teams next year! Shame about the drivers
Hamilton is a great racer, if he can keep a cool head like Kubica has, he will do very very well.
Paffet chose not the take the role as the honda 3rd driver as Mercedes offered him a very attractive DTM package for 2007 and then a seat in the second Mclaren team for 2008.

Take it Hamiltons got the 2nd McLaren seat and NOT the test drive?
Good good, i look forward to seeing his progress. As for Paffet, he's king of the touring cars at the moment. Lets see how he does against the big boys in DTM... Will be able to judge better how he may do in the higher formulas (a 2.0 BMW is no DTM car, mins a few hundred BHP )
That along with all the team changes, bike team cahnges in MotoGP should lead to a good 2007 racing season.
Anyone see Montoyas first outing in his NASCAR Owned........ I so dislike that man

F1 is going to be interesting next season, nice to see some new names coming through. I really want kimi to win, but hope button is up there, patriotic til' I die 
MotoGP will also be good, has anyone been watching rossi in the rallying, seems he hasn't picked it up that well

Paffet won the 2005 DTM championship, Andy Priaulx is the WTCC champion and i think you may have got the 2 mixed up

Bring back the Irvines of F1, Kubica, Hakkinen, Raikkonen are all boring individuals.
Montoya is cocky and i like that in a driver. Like his 1st race where he barged his way up the inside of schumacher at Interlagos!!
MotoGP is still the closest and best racing on 2 wheels, probably 2nd best race series for entertainment value after V8 Supercars
Rossi has been testing a WRC with subaru all season, he has done lots of test miles so knows the car pretty well, finishing 11th isnt bad though.
Will be interesting to see how he gets on at Monza rally this week!

Andy Priaulx mixed it with Sato, Davidson in f3 in 2001 if i remember rightly. Winning most of the rounds! He started in hillclimbing. he also won every round of the Renault spider cup, and did very well in BTCC in the egg astra coupe and civic type r.
Paffet has gone through karting, won the autosport award, won the german f3 championship and then moved on DTM with mercedes AMG

Montoya is the Biaggi of the car racing...
He whinges about everything, moans about everyone, then doesn't ever do very well himself..
Then buggers off to Nascar, 1st race, he complains someone hits him. Its just one excuse after another.
Like Biaggi, always moaned and whinged that he never got the right stuff. Goes to the top works team, gets everything he wanted, then gets stuffed totally, then doesn't get another ride the next year.... (although he's coming back to bike racing again).
V8 supercars rock, love watching them. The NZ series is good as well.
As for Rossi, for a first go, as a privately entered team, i'd say he done f-ing well. Give him another season or 2 on MotoGP to fight for his old title, then he'll go to rallying i think.

Depends if he can reclaim his crown in MotoGP, if he doesn't, they may carry it on to 09.

Hes done all he can with bikes, 2007 he wants the title and will win the title rather than holding much in reserve like 2006.
He will then drive wrc in 2008 when the new package come live, then he will try f3/frenault for a few seasons before heading into f1

Indeed, the chassis, engine, team is probably the best out there!
They should have got Rosberg and Hamilton in there IMO, young drivers that will learn the ropes and not cost a fortune! Then someone like de la rosa for a test driver and there spot on

From what MR IRvine says, Kimi is actually more of a party boy than him, its just Ron Dennis hides it well... (lets face it, what big news comes from up his country way...).. Lets face it, what driver/rider wants to be mobbed by the press, i know its part of it at that lever, but a race driver wants to race, not have a chat about that dodgy/heroic move he's just pulled off So i do understand, but he could put a BIT more interest into it
I think Kimis got the biggest advantage so far before the season starts, but we all know how it can change. McLaren need to sort their reliability issues out, they've not done it in 5 years so far, i just can't see them doing ti for 07. Alonso has made a bad move imo.
Can't wait to see how Hamilton does though. And arn't Honda getting a good package together?
All the engines have been sealed away and will be the basis for the nxt 4 years engines. Honda brought a brand new engine to Brazil.
In fact, it'll be just as close this year (I hope) but with more than just 2 drivers...
It'll never ever ever ever match MotoGP though...
And don't forget A1, thats just comedy to watch, all the in-experiencd drivers, crashing etc... Pace Cars suck, bring back just the yellow flag, and red flag if it was covering the whole track
