Well Im not sure about a Red 5 but I do know you can get the chance to see a Red 3 this season because that is the number Schumacher has this year... (as far as I am aware) :lol:

I think it's interesting situation - but I don't think they will win it. Alonso is certainly very driven to win, but doesn't really know the car and he doesn't like fast drivers in the other car. Felippe won't like either, though his confidence will be sky high from seeing off Kimi but I worry about how he'll cope in a race situation when all the other cars are around him.

I quite like the look of that Benetton!

[baptie]

always like the look, the driver always looked closer to danger

See pics like that and it makes you think about how technology has advanced so much from those days to where they are now, and im not saying they were all for the better.

Me personally I am glad they are trying to get back to the 'old school' way of racing by the skill of the driver alone and not by all those computer thingymajigs... :yes nod: :lol:

to right, great direction to be heading

Yep, nice mix of modern day technology and safety but old skool driving skill. I do like watching when Brundle bins it in the Swimming Pool I think in Monaco, and you can see him trying to push the car over with his hands flailing out of the car. Scary to see what it used to be like!
