I wouldnt be so sure that letting montoya go will be such a great thing for Mclaren in the long run. I dont perceive Kimi as much superior to Montoya at all and Mclaren is not really any better now then Redbull, Toyota, or Honda which all have potential going in to 07. Actually, Mclaren has sucked for quite some time now (since Hakinnen) and I dont care if MS were going to switch over, they would still suck.



Very true.
Mercedes has really not been able to deliver the hardware necessary to win a championship. And no matter who is in the seat, their car-building abilities are not up to par with the best. Not by a long shot.
Unless some miracle happens, Alhomso will have the same problems as Kimi, Monty and Hakki before them: Poor build quality.

On the other hand I think quite a few pilots could win the championship in a Renault, given their current forte in making cars that are both fast and durable.
