HERE IT IS > > > > straight from the FIA as of 4 December 2006 . . . (note: STR hasn't listed their drivers yet - sure would be nice to see both replaced! and other Spyker driver not listed) FIA confirms 2007 entry list The FIA published the official entry list to next year's world championship on Monday, with world champion Fernando Alonso duly taking his number one to Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. The Spaniard's switch of teams means that Renault will have numbers three and four, thanks to their success in the constructors' championship. The Honda Racing team, which will have numbers seven and eight for Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, appear to have no title sponsor in place for 2007 with their official name being entered as Honda Racing F1 Team. Scuderia Toro Rosso have not yet nominated either of their drivers, although Vitantonio Liuzzi and Scott Speed are expected to remain on board for another year. The only other driver vacancy is at the renamed Spyker F1 Team, where Christijan Albers' teammate has not yet been identified. # Driver Team Constructor 1 Fernando Alonso (E) Vodafone McLaren McLaren 2 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes Mercedes 3 Giancarlo Fisichella (I) ING Renault F1 Team Renault 4 Heikki Kovalainen (FIN) 5 Felipe Massa (BR) Scuderia Ferrari Ferrari 6 Kimi Raikkonen (FIN) Marlboro 7 Jenson Button (GB) Honda Racing F1 Team Honda 8 Rubens Barrichello (BR) 9 Nick Heidfeld (D) BMW Sauber F1 Team BMW 10 Robert Kubica (PL) 11 Ralf Schumacher (D) Panasonic Toyota Toyota 12 Jarno Trulli (I) Racing 14 David Coulthard (GB) Red Bull Racing Red Bull 15 Mark Webber (AUS) Renault 16 Nico Rosberg (D) AT&T Williams Williams Toyota 17 Alex Wurz (A) 18 TBA Scuderia Toro Rosso STR Ferrari 19 TBA 20 Christijan Albers (NL) Spyker F1 Team Spyker Ferrari 21 TBA 22 Takuma Sato (J) TBA Super Aguri Super Aguri 23 Anthony Davidson (GB) F1 Team Honda
Question about the back of the grid When multiple teams don't score points the previous season, how is the numbering order determined?
Oh god... Takuma is back? He needs to hang the gloves up and stay on his bike. Image Unavailable, Please Login
cant wait for the season to start...and yes, politics are strong in that Sato is still driving...he is a HUGE figure in Japan is he not?
Well, Sato deserved to be shot by firing squad. Sorry, I dont like him or his team here in Japan. Most TS commercials here in Japan are about his cycling.
Respect for Schumi? Why? Sato drives like an idiot, which warrants a slap on the head. I never heard of that happening, but even if it did, nobody really made a big deal about it.
When Sato hit Schumi's car, what little respect I had for the guy went to zero. I don't really care, actually, neither are my favorite drivers.
Yeah he had never been one of my favorite drivers, especially after that. I was happy for him when he got 3rd at the 2004 USGP(I was there), but I was a little surprised when he celebrated like he had just won this year at Suzuka. Really, I think Super Aguri really wants to keep him because he is Japanese. Their original plan was to have both drivers be Japanese, be Ide and Yamamoto quickly discouraged that idea. He seems like a pretty good guy, though.
Schumacher lost respect when he rammed Damon Hill, then Jacques Villeneuve. It was low, but I believe the teacher has the right to slap the student in the Sato case.
I don't doubt it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjfkuf7M7HY is a link to the video. Schumi should have knocked him out, wouldn't you be mad if you were driving along and someone spins your car out. The only thing I find funnier now is that now SA thinks that in 2008 they will start winning races. Are they magically expecting to pick up 2 seconds a lap to come even close to what Ferrari and Renault are at right now. This team is a joke and shouldn't be allowed to race. They should only start talking when they score a point. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/55909
This says it all right here. This is the only way Takuma would be allowed to race. Everyone else wants to get rid of him. Super Ugly (and belive me, he is) needs to stick to JGTC. He is very cold and very mean to alot of people here in Japan and on track days. The reason why Japanese can not do well in F1 is because the level of compitition is sky rocket. In japan, it is ok to loose, steal, cheat and hurt other people, as long as you say "sumimasen with a bow and pretend to cry" I dont mean to be hard but I see this EVERY DAY. I love the country, my wife and quality of life.... but I have been ripped off 300K from an Japanese guy who in court cried and said he was sorry and was only entitled to pay me "what he could afford" If it was the German/American/Austrailian/British on trial, we would be in Jail. End Rant
a guess you are referring to the back of the grid at every race, also they should try and end sometimes with crashing, spinning out, hitting other cars, having the car blow up etc. In English soccer/football the last three teams get relegated to a lesser league. That means SA, STR, and MF1 should be in GP2 right now.
