The 2006 Drivers Preview

Twenty two drivers - among them three world champions, ten Grand Prix winners and three rookies - will start the season next week in Bahrain. Jonathan Noble analyses the 2006 grid

Speculation last winter that Fernando Alonso's decision to join McLaren in 2007 could derail his charge to a second world title already appears to have been wide of the mark - with both driver and team appearing to fire on all cylinders on the eve of the campaign.

Alonso has never been anything less than 100 percent committed on the race track and the confidence that grew in him last year, allied to the early promise shown by the R26, have marked him out as the pre-season favourite. Alonso will be a hard man to beat in 2006.
