I was about to post the same news! Interesting combination for McLaren, an Iceman and a firey Columbian - hopefully, they'll get along.

DC has also been linked with Jaguar. Who knows? Ferrari will also be needing a new driver at some point.

There are also rumors that there will be a new American F1 team using MB motors rebadged as "Chrysler" sometime in the near future as well. DC could be shuffled over here and remain "in the family" if you will. (Villineuve has also been mentioned as a driver for this hypothetical team as well.)

Actually, this isn't news.

This was confirmed last year prior to Juan's final season with Williams BMW (this year).

Gotcha.

Surprising that there isn't a more recent posting to be talking this topic up with.

Or, as I guess was the case, there seems to be a glitch with the software - I got this as an email reminder of a new posting...

Odd. No problem.

Looks like JPM set the fastest time last week.

Hopefully McLaren can take the fight to Ferrari.


Cheers

Guys,

Whats the latest news on what Ferrari is doing, are they using last years chassis?

What about McLaren, do they have a chance with this car? Haven't followed the news lately, is this Last Years Chassis for McLaren or did they catch up with the passed over chassis?

Finally, where is David C going? Is he out?

Man oh man, Kimi and Juan, his will be hot.

One last question, what do you guys think about the rule changes? Will this help or hurt McLaren, what about the unbeatable Ferrari?
