With the 2007 season ended in the three way battle, starting with Kimi Raikkionen taking his first f1 title world championship with Ferrari, then the double world champion Fernando Alonso switch from Renault to McLaren Mercedes Benz team but couldn’t beat his rookie team mate the GP2 champion Lewis Hamilton but things are going to be different.
The 2008 season is just around the corner and the teams are gearing up with there 2008 F1 cars for testing in this month and also launching it too, so now, Fernando is switching back his old team where he won double titles, the Renault team along side with Nelson Piquet Jr. while Lewis teammate will be Heikki Kovalainen and of course with the team points been docked (McLaren Mercedes Benz) so the team will be pushed back, that means Lewis and Heikki cars will be 22 and 23 respectively. Team BMW also did well in 2007 of course it was unexpected to come in 2nd place in the constructers points. So hold on to your seats since the races will start at March 16 starting with Australia.
