I've enjoyed Kimi from the Sauber days as well, but remember what teammate outperformed him in the other Sauber car:

HAHAH!! How? Didn't Hamilton score higher in the drivers cup? Didn't he place higher in most of the races? wasn't Alonso constantly announcing that he didn't have a fair chance, because he was a sore looser?

I firmly believe that McLaren was favoring Hammie's car the entire year. Alonso came up through the ranks properly, through Minardi and worked his way up to a solid team, and took a solid team to back to back WDC/WCC. Hammie drove fantastically in GP2 (and I do mean fantastically), but he was then dropped in the best car on the grid, and he still didn't win the WDC.

I'm predicting 2008 to be Heidfeld's second break-out year, 2001 being his first.

I think the scary thing is that Ferrari has been sandbagging more than anyone could imagine.

I also think BMW may have a rocky start with the new car but will have a very strong second half.

Renault, quicker than most people think.

Well they certainly looked like **** this morning. I'm not sure how you sandbag 2 seconds unless you fill the car with cement.

Alonso on the podium or DNF.
