Alonso will create some media buzz but ultimately will have to perform . Ocon is young and hungry/motivated to do well . In both cases the car has a lot to do with their success or failure .

We may never know how much of Mercedes success could have been related to Shumi's return and the feedback he provided to the team . I remember a face to face discussion many years ago with Steve Matchett about his time at Benneton when shumi was there . Steve said the feedback by schumi was like that of a computer . He said he has never seen or heard of another driver that could provide the data like schumi . Pretty high praise .
