Now that Alonso is gone and a new car must be developed, can McLaren do it The engineers are up to it, but the input of a quality driver is critical. The issue of costs versus technology will continue to be a major issue over the next few years and one suspects F1 in 2011 will look nothing like it did in 2009. So, what will 2009 ultimately produce I'll say Renault and BMW both give McLaren and Ferrari a run for their money. Lewis Hamilton can drive the wheels off a car, but the question now is can he develop one If he can, he could go on a Schumacher like streak of winning. I'm really looking forward to the new season, no question about it. The new car is coming out in the middle of January.

It is hard to imagine the powers that be at Honda will keep funding such an embarrassment for much longer. The team has gobs of money, but one has to look at the last five years to see the potential problem. The Spaniard's position is still unclear, but Dennis confirmed in Spain they will extend the Spaniards contract at McLaren. But the constant will be the performance: we want to stay at the top, and fight at the front.

We are the only top-three team with technical stability, and we know our drivers. Briatore doesn't agree with them obviously. Ferrari and other teams have already threatened to leave if a standardized engine is mandated.
