ALONSO AT McLAREN

After four brilliantly successful seasons with Renault, back-to-back world champion Fernando Alonso moves to McLaren, which last won a race in '05. Will his unique driving style-with an almost vicious initial steering turn-in-translate from the Renault to the McLaren chassis? And will he be truly competitive for the first time at his bogey track, Indianapolis? For now, assume the answer to both questions is yes.

EVERYONE ON BRIDGESTONES

Not since 1996, when all the teams ran on Goodyear rubber, has one tire manufacturer had an F1 monopoly. Bridgestone will supply all the teams this year and inevitably will build harder compounds than in the recent past, when it competed against Michelin. The drivers say the new tires make the cars trickier to drive, particularly under braking and on corner entry. Look for more driver errors.

ADRIAN NEWEY'S RED BULL

After distinguished spells with Williams and McLaren (designing championship-winning cars for both), Adrian Newey produces his first car for Red Bull Racing. A car from Newey-with the same tires as everyone else and a Renault engine-always tends to worry the competition and could move RBR well up the grid.
