Raikkonen misjudged a back marker and was catapult...

Speaking to F1.com Briatore said: 2007 will be a fresh start in many ways, and we are very proud to be welcoming a company of the stature of ING to Formula One. Fernando Alonso is many things good and bad, but he is undisputedly a great car developer. In his one year, they became so and probably not because of the plans they allegedly stole from the company. Last year we saw a team (Ferrari) win nine races and not win the title. Ron Dennis said about De la Rosa's position for next season: Pedro will part part of our team in 2007.

Whilst all the events were unfolding Jenson got faster and faster, not reacting to tyre changes too early until they were certain they were going to work, choosing to stay out on intermediates until it was right for slicks. And more than anything, leading this amazing group of people is what motivates me to continue, and tackle the new challenges ahead. Pedro de la Rosa will stay at McLaren their team boss Ron Dennis confirmed. These pre-race events had already set the heart rate of the GP race fan soaring, but what we did not expect was for the racing to be just if not more compelling. We just need to build a winning car.

Lewis Hamilton rescued his championship by passing a slick shod Toyota in the rain in the last corner of the last lap of the season. When the next race comes, these two will be gunning for each other, driving like two men on a desperate mission to claim the ultimate Grand Prix F1 prize. In 2007 Honda will have Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello signed as their race drivers.
