The only new team for 2002. They have a vast budget and very competent staff. They are undoubtedly the team most likely to surprise this season. It is conceivable they could come in to F1 and be a ready made mid-field team, and this is what testing pace is indicating, although they will struggle on the tracks they haven’t tested at, such as Monaco, Melbourne, etc….
The design looks like a fairly conventional F1 car, obviously not wanting to take too many risks. The engine looks to be very promising however, with rumours of 850BHp common in the paddock
Mika Salo
Very good driver. Proved to be reasonably consistent when in F1 before. His season will depend upon the car more than anything he can do.
Alan McNish
Bit of an unknown quantity. Undeniably a superb sportscar driver, but possibly a bit old to be starting a career in F1. His experience could prove useful though.
