From the Pulpit
With Honda now being a full owner of BAR, BMW and Red Bull overtaking Sauber and Minardi respectively, the Formula One of Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley may have just become strong. Yet with every team eventually expected to fall in line with the FOM/FIA/Ferrari alliance, what will be of Ron Dennis?
After a season in which indisputable on-track brilliance (Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, occasionally Michael Schumacher) has often been overshadowed by the depressingly ugly spectre of political wrangling (Imola-gate, Indy-gate, Button-gate), at last we have some unequivocally good news.
We have a new World Champion - a worthy winner, and the youngest in Formula One history, to boot. His battle with Raikkonen was enthralling to watch, and was surely the first of many epic encounters between the two.
