I know it's a bit early to be thinking about it, but here's some details for the 2007 season:

Anyone know why no car has the no. 13?

Alexander Wurz making a return, not heard of him for a good 3 or 4 seasons.

I find it boring, the schumacher period put a lot of people off, used to watch the first lap for the crashes but I find it dull and repetitive.

Lol, can't beat first lap crashes :D
Can always remember Spa, Belgium Grand Prix, 1999 (I think), where there was a huge pile up going round the first corner, nearly all the cars were involved, absolutely brilliant :D

That was my favourite ever moment in the times I've been watching F1, absolutely spectacular. There was only like 8 cars left in the race at the finish! I think it was 1998 though.
Alex Wurz used to drive for Benetton, I think.

Something like that.
I remember that Damon Hill went on to win after Jordan team-mate Ralf Schumacher let him through after Ralf was leading with a few laps left.

Ah yes, them were the good ol' days! When Jordan, Stewart, Tyrell, Minardi, Arrows, Jaguar and Sauber and probably some others were still racing, when Goodyear still made tyres, and you had 12 laps to do a qualifying lap.

It was great when Hill did it but I just lost interest.

The golden period for me was the Mansell / Prost / Senna time, when cars had turbo's and went as fast as the teams could get them to go. About the same time as ford raced the RS200

and the Mini Metro came in a 6R4 flavour for wrapping around trees, or should that be splitting them in half.

The good ole days.
I got bored watching F1 etc. as it became a team ordered procession, but have discovered bikes - fantastic - they're all mad, and its exciting to watch, its got me back into motorsports (spectating only unfortunately, I miss my kart).
Even touring cars are getting good again, but F1 has got a LONG way to go to get back to how it should be......

Let them have more power, less driver aids and make the tracks wider so you can actually overtake. Seems to be all down to pitstops in F1.
Superbikes or MotoGp (whichever has Valentino Rossi) is fantastic watching in comparison to F1
As for the RS200 and 6R4 that is how cars should be designed. I wish they would show more Rally Cross with turbo'd up supermini's :D

Track width isn't the biggest problem. You have to change the aerodynamics so that they can get through the dirty air more easily and into the slipstream.
