The BMW team boss, Mario Theissen is very realistic. He said that this year Bmw’s objective is the podium, next yaer they will giht for winning races and in 2009 they will fight for the championship.
Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes drivers, will drive today theirs formula 1 cars on the streets of Valencia as the team wil uneveil the new MP4-22, the car for 1007 championship.
Felipe Massa took the F2007 car for the first ride at Fiorano test track. Massa’s fastest lap was clocked with 58.360 seconds, wich beats the F2006 debut last year time, Schumacher’s 59.6 seconds. ANyway, Montezemolo said about Schmacher : “I know him well,and I believe that he will test the new Ferrari soon.”
Ferrari will test again in 23 this month, at Mugello.
Ferrari will reveal todeay, 14-01-2007, the car for the 2007 formula one championship. A little strange that we don’t know yet how the team will call this new car. The ceremony will take place at 4 PM .
Ferrari’s hopes are that with Raikkonen joining Felipe Massa, they will take the crown stoping Alonso to get the third title.
One of my favourites duels from formula one history : between René Arnoux and Gilles Villeneuve, the battle for second place!! It’s an incredible fight, you will hear the speaker using this word evry often: “Incredible!”.
And here is one of the greatest movie of formula one:
Alonso is the champion, so it’s just fair to talk about him after Schumacher. In the all time formula one record, Alonso;s standings are like this:
Youngest Drivers to Start a Race : 3-th place with 36 days older than first position and 10 older than second.
He is the youngest winner of a formula one race.
Again, the youngest winner of a pole position.
Youngest driver to set Fastest Lap : second after Nico Rosberg.
Most Podium Positions in a Season:
1 Germany Michael Schumacher 2002 17 17
2 Germany Michael Schumacher 2004 18 15
2 Spain Fernando Alonso 2005 19 15
Most Consecutive Podium Positions second after Michael Schumacher(19 to 15 podiums)
Youngest Driver to Score a Podium Position: first position.
Youngest Driver to start from First Row second position.
Youngest Driver to score Points: 10-th
Youngest Driver that was leader for at least one lap.
Double (Pole & Win in same race): 8-th.
With 381 career points is on the eleven position already, and only Barichello and David Coulthard are still driving in F1 from the ten drivers above him.
He is young and has a lot of talent and he can broke many records from now on.
Second place with 250 races, after Ricardo Patrese with 256. Barichello has 236 raecs in F1 so itls very close.
Most Fastest Laps in a Season : Michael in 2004 and Raikkonen in 2005 both have 10 fastest lap.
He is not in Top Ten of youngest driver to start in F1, which is kind of good thing for him.
Also, he is not the older driver to star a race in F1.

1 United States Lee Wallard 1950-1951 2 1 50.00%
