Well, some changes for next year .. New teams, driver changes and engine rules etc ..
Alonso has signed to drive for McLaren in 2007 , which is a surprise .. Kimi may move to Toyota to replace Trulli then to accomodate .
Williams sign Nico Rosburg for 2006 as second driver . BMW who were Sauber keep Jacques and sign Heidfeld , Midland who were Jordon have new colour and drivers . Redbull pick up Scott Speed from USA for their second Team .
Super Aguri Honda will front up with Sato as one driver .. and Honda which was BAR have Button and Barracello . Toyota have their same drivers with Ralf and trulli and McLaren keep Kimi and Monyoya for 2006 . as do Renault with Alonso and Fishi . Ferrari have Shumi and drafted in Massa ..
Should be an interesting season as these teams and drivers shake things down and come to grips with their choice of engines .. Some movement in tyres too, with Michelin phasing out as they do not want to be the single supplier of tyres for 2007 and Toyota have moved to Bridgestone

Will be a funny season I think . Lot of team changes and also rules . Don't know how Alonso will go , he has signed with Mclaren for 2007 and will have to put in the year with Renault , so hope he gets a fair shake with renault . I think he has made a smart move, as maybe renault will pull out of formula One next season and he has made sure he has secured his future ..

I think you may be right about Alonso . Who will go from Maclaren to make way for him .. Maybe Kimi .. Toyota are said to make a bid for him as Trulli is off contract after this season .
Wrtz has also joined Williams as their third driver from Maclaren
