    No Andreas, this is not true. In an interview with Briatore in F1 magazine, Flavio indicated it was Fisichella that did the car development, not Alonso, and that is why he kept Fisichella knowing that Alonso was gone. He wanted continuity.

    I agree the Renault will get better as the year goes, but not because of Alonso.

    Alonso was lucky that Mclaren had Ferrari secrets last year to give them the big step forward they so badly needed.

    I wonder if Renault now have some other team data because they would need that kind of "help" to make the same leap Mccheater did last year.

    There is a fundamental difference between McLaren and Renault: McLaren were already 2nd. The Ferrari brake system gave them the edge to be able to compete with Ferrari.

    Renault OTOH is midfield. A single technology secret like the brake system isn't enough to get them to the front. Only solid car development will do that, the perfect job for Alonso.

    Kimi first....no one else matters. 2nd and 3rd just fill out the podium to make it look nice :)

    My prediction: Bernie will be quibbling over the Aust GP right up to the parade lap. :(

    And you can probably forget about NasSpeed replaying the race on sunday afternoon. Tape it, DVR it, or stay up to 0-dark-30 to watch.

    Well yes I can concur with that, but FA reckons his team needs to find nearly one second to be able to fight with rivals McLaren and Ferrari this year.

    That shouldn’t be a problem, however, as he famously let us all know last year that he brought nearly a second all on his own when he started testing with McLaren.

    Over to you then Fernando… we shall see I hope he does..

    Kimi
    Heikki
    Hami
    Massa,

    the Red cars will have a slight edge in pace, but Massa will not "prove" it:) Heikki will surprise in a competitive Mc...

    Hey John, thanks kindly, likewise. We loved Australia and really wanted to return soon, maybe next year.
    Have you seen Stehpen lately, seems to have dropped off the face of all the boards he used to frequent?

    Williams and especially Nakajima look impressive in testing so far, I have a feeling that they could have leapfrogged Renault in the off season and be the #4 team behind Ferrari, McLaren, and BMW.
