Okay guys, one by one the 2007 cars are being launched to the media: Renault, Ferrari, McLaren, Toyota, BMW Sauber to name a few.

Some of the teams have been testing their new cars: Ferrari at Fiorano, Renault at Jerez, McLaren at Valencia etc etc.

The big news has obviously been all the driver changes at the top teams. Important questions IMO are: will Alonso's ability and ambition be enough to win with McLaren (a team that didn't win a race all year in 2006)? Will rookie Hamilton sink or swim? How long will McLaren give him to show his worth? Or will the Ferrari boys, Kimi and Felipe, race away with the 2 titles? Who will have the upper hand between these two young drivers? With the Renault car and team so strong, expectations should be high but if Fisi doesn't deliver consistent results, how long will his career last? Will Kovaleinen last given that in winter testing, Nelson Piquet Jr was faster than him? Will Button score more GP wins or was Hungary 2006 a flash in the pan? How long before Kubica becomes team leader at BMW Sauber? He certainly gave Heidfeld a wake up call last year. Will this be the last season for Trulli and Ralf Schumacher if they don't deliver a better performance for Toyota whose patience must surely be wearing thin given that they have the second biggest budget in F1? They know they need to be at the front of the grid. It's looking embarrassing for them. Will Mark Webber fail at yet another team after 'talking' such a good game at Jaguar and Williams? Will Rosberg finally perform after his lacklustre season in 2006 having started so well in his first race? Will Davidson prove it was unjust to hold him back as a mere test driver at BAR Honda in 2005 in comparison with his then team mate, Sato, who is now his co-driver at Super Aguri? Why are Toro Rosso torturing their drivers (especially the colourful Vitantonio Liuzzi) by not telling them yet whether they even have a seat for 2007? How much will the engine development ban affect this season? How will the fact that there is only one tyre supplier affect things? Will the simultaneous departures of Ross Braun and Michael Schumacher at Ferrari destabilise the Scuderia set up? Will Ron Dennis ever smile? Will ITV F1 ever show a press conference in full this year on British TV? Will Bernie Ecclestone marry an even younger/bustier nymphette this year?

These are just some random issues that struck me before the season gets underway. What about your thoughts guys on these and other subjects relating to the forthcoming F1 season?

60 days to go. Roll on Melbourne. I can't wait.

PS: if any guys want to organise a Rennteam meet at the Monaco GP, let's start planning from now...
