...first black driver was bold yet rock solid last year right from his first race. Some of the former kart champion's overtaking maneuvers had veteran observers shaking their heads in astonishment. A comfortable winner in Melbourne before a fifth-place finish in Sepang, where Räikkönen dominated, last year's upstart is one of this year's favorites. Will Hamilton have the mettle to cope? Sound judges are sure of it. "Every now and again a talent comes along who sets everyone back a bit," says the 1980 world champion, Australian Alan Jones. "We saw this...
...British Upstart The three key figures at the climax of last year's championship are all back in the cockpit and now spearheading three separate teams. Ferrari's "Iceman," Finland's Kimi Räikkönen, snatched last year's title by a point, squeezing out feuding McLaren teammates Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton by winning in Brazil. "Team-mates" can be an empty word in F1. Applied to Alonso and Hamilton it was comically inappropriate. As a two-time world champ and McLaren's senior driver, the emotional Alonso could be excused for failing to share...
...current drivers are not, understandably, sounding quite so cavalier. The end of traction control should suit those with recent experience in other grades of motor racing where the device is banned, and those who are strong in the rain.

...intriguing. If the much-vaunted first race in Melbourne on March 18 is where the kinks are discovered, then it's in the second race that the real drama begins to unfold. Will world champ Fernando Alonso repeat his Renault success at McLaren? Can Kimi Räikkönen ably replace the retired Michael Schumacher for Ferrari? Better still, says Kevin Alavy of research consultancy Initiative Sports Futures, "It's easier to get tickets at Sepang than at many other circuits." One reason: the lack of a homegrown Michael Schumacher means that interest among Malaysians hasn't reached...
