Drivers: Giancarlo Fisichella (Italy), Heikki Kovalainen (Finland)

Engine: Renault

2006 Championship position: 1st

It's been a disappointing start to the season for the Renault team. So far, last year's champions have failed to nail a podium spot in any of the three races. They seem to be missing Alonso, and will need Fisichella to raise his game if they're to mount a serious challenge.

Our prediction: 4th - A transistional season
