The 23-year-old German joined the team this year o...

Alonso isn't just a quick driver, he is very good in communicating with the team which is very important. The 23-year-old German joined the team this year on three occasions in Friday's free practice and showed a strong performance. Alonso suffered a broken drive shaft after a pit stop that took him out of the race whilst winning. It is hard to imagine the powers that be at Honda will keep funding such an embarrassment for much longer. While Force India will remain since it is the play thing of a billionaire, one of the Red Bull teams may be sold or liquidated.

This was the first ever GP race in Hungary with rain and it created much indecision at the beginning of the race, no-one really knew what tyres to use, it was slippery even catching De La Rosa out on the warm up lap, with a spin. The race then started and from the first corner there was wheel-to-wheel action resulting in one of the best Grand Prixs ever in recent years. Ron Dennis said about De la Rosa's position for next season: Pedro will part part of our team in 2007. McLaren has had a tough season in 2006 - the team was unable to win any race. Alonso knows how to win races and McLaren knows what he will need to win races, Dennis continued saying.

We are the only top-three team with technical stability, and we know our drivers. They signed a number of major sponsor deals and double world champion Fernando Alonso. With the economy going in the tank, it appears to be only a matter of time before Williams calls it a day.
