Schuey will most likely retire after winning his 6th world championship, and when that does happen, McLaren will be back on top. KR has the most potential to be the World Champion after Schuey is gone, and I won't be surprised if DC becomes McLarens number two.
Yes, KR is a Fin aswell.

JPM has some qualifying skills, can't say the same about his race day performance though .
I think the top three guys, once Schuey is gone will be KR, JPM, and RB.

Not for nothing....
1) Mika and Kimi are BOTH Fins (but Kimi never held the #1 car/title)
2) Kimi really drives a CLK 5.5 AMG, David (as he prefers to be called) has at least two different CL 600's, and
3) Those are 3 year old pics. Mika is retired....for good....thanks his the b*tch wife
(four years of marriage destroyed a lifetime of preparation for his chosen career....sad)

i've heard that Mika might come back next year back with the McLaren team and Kimi might go to some other team. don't know for sure, might be just rumors.
after Schumy is retired i'd like to see little Schumy and the Williams BMW team win some championships, but it might be hard if RB stays with the Ferrari team

Mika announced at a press conference a few weeks ago that he is officially retiring.
He is not coming back.

mika never did have any intention of comming back. he just didn't announce it as a favor to ron dennis.

i dont see mclaren doing much anytime soon. watch for ralf to fill big brothers shoes for ferrari. that is what i have heard, but i do not know the status of his current contract or how long it is supposed to last. if they would just take all the other cars off the track montoya would win every race. he is the fastest on the grid, but just can't win races.

Montoya is not consistent, he always finds a way to screw himself up.

Once Michael Schumacher retires with his 6th driver's championship (EOY 2003), my prediction is that Rubens Barrichello will be given his opportunity to win a championship with Ferrari, considering all the sacrifice he's had to endure. However, Ferrari could play the cold/heartless/cruel card that they have countless times in the past, and hire Ralf Schumacher to carry on the name association. But Ralf is no Michael and doesn't have the will to win like MS, DC, KR, JPM. If Ralf came over to Ferrari, I bet Rubens would fight to be named #1 driver, and he would win out. I don't think that would satisfy RS, so I don't think RS would agree to join Ferrari.
Similarly, Kimi Raikkonen shares only one attribue with Mika Hakkinen... both are Finnish. Other than than, KR is not equal to Mika as a driver... Not yet. So, IMO, I don't see KR at the top of the heap for the near future.
IMO, Juan Pablo Montoya has the same car control skills that MS has, but with less experience (like KR) and less controlled emotion. With a more reliable BMW next year, I believe JPM will challenge MS for the championship, winning enough races to make it a challenge for MS. But MS should win the championship. After that (2004), it will be between JPM and RB.
And this is no longer a C-Class related thread... Moving to motorsports...

Doesnt MS have a contract with ferrari till the end of 2004? And I guess KR is better then Mika cause if you remember it took Mika quite a while to even get on the podium! My guess is Once MS quits it will be McLaren V/s Willams ... But trust me If McLaren can produce a hell of a car Im sure Ferrari will have a great competetion from KR and DC! But they need a quick car and DC needs to use his power ...
