Just how long can Ferrari keep up this dominance? The last time I saw anything like this was when Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna drove the Honda. Now I hear that Ferrari has a new, more powerful engine to come out this year. It'll be for the other teams.

 

it will probably take a serious rule change to upset the balance quickly, like move to 1.5 turbo or something.

don't worry, the brits will be back,

 

brits? do you mean williiams? or bar?

 

well since all the teams except Sauber, Toyota and Ferrari are based in UK (I think!) then I guess I mean most of the field.

 

You forgot Minardi. Oh, and Renault.

 

I am guessing that you are referring to the European Grand Prix that just took place. Well it all depends on which side you are on...being a Ferrari fan, I want it to continue forever.

 

I like Matrix am a Ferrari Fan so I don't really see the problem.

On a more serious note, I believe BMW is right about there, they are so close.
Renault has made amazing progress this year, if they make the same amount for next year they will be one of the top teams again.
McLaren has a great car, they have the potential, but I'm not a DC fan and I think Kimmy is doing great for his 1st season in that team.
I would like to say Jordan is close, but you guys are too smart to believe me, oh well.

Keep in mind there is a rule change coming up for next year that will effect the engine development. The rule has not been passed but it is being looked at. The rule would be a team has one engine per car for the weekend. If they blow it up and they replace the engine, they start at the back of the field, regardless of where they placed in qualifying, if they were able to qualify. The rule is designed to make engines more durable and to reduce the team's ability to build a hand grenade for qualifying. I don't know any more details that this and I am very curious how the rule will impact the T-Car.

 

I think Renault is based near Silverstone - just the money and name is French.

 

Toyota also has been fairly impressive for thier first year in F1 imo.

 

I agree on Toyota - actually it is pretty amazing that they could just walk into the mid field like that.

However - Formula One position is never a constant improvement - it's very up and down, I was watching some old videos, can't remember the year - but when BAR had the 2 colour scheme car - one side lucky strike and other 555's, JV is challenging for the lead in some of the races. That must have been BAR's first season? each year after that they seem to have got further back.
