2006 F1 constructors app list

1. Ferrari (ITA) – would you think I would jump cockpit after a disappointing season?

2. Renault (FRA) – props for these guys for putting McLaren out of the picture. Then again, it was Williams that lost in the four-way fight for the constructor’s championship.

3. Toyota (JPN) – meteoric rise for a relative newcomer, I applaud thee. At least they are already a midcard team.

4. Honda (JPN) – their here again, gone again finishes have been quite frustrating. At least there’s already Toyota to battle them for some Japanese loving and for the distinction of the “best middle-of-the-grid team”.

5. BMW Sauber (GER) – a middle of the pack car that couldn’t ride on the momentum of its little successes.

6. Super Aguri (JPN) – the third Japanese team in F1. Interesting.

7. Midland (CAN) – used to be Minardi. A name change wouldn’t do much and that’s the reason they are still my underdogs. At least there’s Super Aguri and the Red Bull teams to keep them company at the back.

8. Williams (GBR) – this is a team that was just a shadow of its former self and they have fallen by the wayside faster than Minardi could finish a lap. But I like Nico Rosberg.

9. McLaren Mercedes (GBR) – F1’s token heel. Then again, to most F1 fans, Ferrari is the heel. Oh, whatever.

10. Toro Rosso (ITA) – Red Bull is named after a local basketball team, Thai professional boxers, and more recently, an American soccer squad, and two F1 teams. At least this one has Scott Speed. And they are running on V10 Ferrari engines.

11. Red Bull (GBR) – it’s just so wrong when there are two Red Bull teams in one league.
