anyone have pics of the new car that can be used as wallpaper? Preferably 1280x960 and up.

The car probably is about 80% of Sauber's old technology. BMW even came out and said that it will not bring much to the table the first season of two as far as tech advances. It will be up to the drivers for BMW-Sauber to do well this year.

Cool.

By the way, any news on the other tyre carrier, Bridgestone dropped out.

I thought Bridgestone was still tight with Ferrari?

Jay Arno · #9 (**permalink**) 01-19-2006, 08:38 PM

I heard they dropped out because of last years Indianapolis stunt with the final turn and the shcane?

F1.com still has them with Ferrari so I guess they still are in.....

It would be huge if there was only one tyre sponsor. Ferrari F1 is Bridgestone's best sponsorship, hands down.

Oh yeah, it was a rumor I think I heard on here...oh well we know now it isn't true.

I dont know where you got Bridgestone from but Michelin announced in early december that they are dropping out of F1 as of 2007 since the FIA is placing the single-tyre rule into effect for the 2007 season. Ever since it was even a rumor about there being a single-tyre supplier, Michellin has said over and over again that if there is no competetion in their field for F1 then they will without a doubt drop out. It is very sad to see and its very clear to see at the same time what is happening in F1.

Ferrari-Bridgestone failed to impress last year...in fact they did miserable in their own standards.

No that tire changes are allowed once again....you will without a doubt see Ferrari and Bridgestone back on the podium. The politics in F1 are never a secret and never hard to figure out...
