Kovalainen to McLaren

I'm looking forward to see how the young Finn will fare against Hamilton. I've always rated him pretty highly, but he seems more error prone than Hamilton.

News to me, De La Rosa is not in the second car anymore?

There is no question that Hamilton and Kovalainen are phenomenal drivers, but I really hope that McLaren, with such young blood, can pull of the serious business of car development.

DLR was never in the second car. Well, except in his dreams.

Excellent point... Even if de la Rosa can provide the "know-how" to develop the car over the season, they may fall short when setting up the car over a race weekend.

going to be a festive season. Three legitimate top drivers now on three different teams. Gonna be some interesting first corners...

Who knows what McLaren will or can develop per this article. It looks as if McLaren really had their hands in the cookie jar. Good thing they had an engine freeze or else they might have been in real trouble. Nonetheless, next year should be really interesting.
