Who else will win a GP in 2006 and why ?
I decided to set this thread up because its a little more interesting than 'the who will win the championship', a feat only within the grasp of one or two protagonists. Here are a few early thoughts on oustiders :
o Mark Webber - Cosworth may have pulled a blinder this year and developed a good V8. Williams are reeling after a dreadful 2005, but without Thiessen breathing down their neck, may be able to put on a better performance. Webber's very quick, is overdue a good result and may just do it this year.
o Jenson Button - He's gotten so close in past and his smooth driving is exactly what you need to be there at the end. This year's Honda appears to be reliable and very fast. With Ant in the third car again on the Friday, and Ruben's enormous experience thrown in for good measure, they will be much better set up for raceday in comparison to last year. Like Webber, he's got the maturity to take first spot... and also like Webber, he's well overdue.
o David Coulthard - I think people are underestimating the benefit of RB will have with 4 cars at each event. STR and RB will NOT be operating independently, their cars look dangerously similar and STR may be quite competitive with the V10. The canny scot is the second most experienced driver in the field. He knows how to win races and could well pull off RBs first in 2006.
