Greenback has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Who will be the dark horse for 2007?
My guess is RBR and BMW.

Yeah, it certainly looks like it will be one of those two teams.

I expect at least 4 teams to win races - things are more open than they have been for a long time.

I see Red Bull, BMW & Honda all as possible winners next year. Williams could also return a bit closer to the front. I think Spyker may be the surprise of the midfield though.

RBR - with 2 good driver's and ferrari or renault power hopefully the later they will be quick ???

BMW - they are forever tuning the car and are quick already and with Kubica i think he will upstage Heidfeld ???

Honda - well they have meant to be very good evvery year but seem to disapoint they have got to do it sometime ???

Renault...

Everyone is expecting them to go backwards next year with GF and HK as drivers, I think that they may stay strong (I hope that I'm wrong though)

I think Kubica in the BMW and the Ferrari pair will be amazing next year but a few things to consider first.

o As a manufacturer, BMW have a formidable motor racing pedigree, second only to Ferrari. They know what's required to win races and have amply demonstrated it in touring cars as well as F1 over the years. They're knocking on the door already this year and 2007 is likely to be even more promising.

o Kubica has been a revelation these last few races and I'm getting a kind of Schumacher/Senna feeling about him already. He is blindingly quick in an F1 car, more so than in anything else I've seen him drive... as were those two legends. He could give a wake up call to everyone next year.

o Ferrari will be without Ross Brawn [and probably some of his team] next year. Also, they will be without the focal point that's held them together for the past decade and it will be one of the most difficult things this current Ferrari administration has had to overcome.

o One the positive side for them, they're leagues ahead of everyone else in understanding how to get the best out of Bridgestone and their tyres. This will be a massive head start over everyone else, particularly at the beginning of next year.

I think it's highly unlikely they will. They're turning into the 2000's version of Arrows... embedded in the midfield with the occasional podium but not the slightest chance of a win.

i definatly think they will be close if felippe keeps his head like he has at the start of the year.i dont think kimi can set a car up i thnk its got to be a great car given to him thats why macca's arnt competitive and and the car will be given to him next year and if he cant win the championship next year with the advantage ferrari have and kimi's experience i will never rate kimi again.

can kimi go a year without breaking the car?

but i would laugh if felippe did outshine kimi.

Considering that STR will be switching to either Ferrari or Renault V8 engine next year, and with the help of RBR, I would expect them to be strong next year.

Btw, will STR be using the same aero package as RBR?

Remember all the speculation early this year about how Williams were looking to be a dark horse... And look at them now... I hate to say it but bad luck follows Webber around

RBR & BMW, with STR being abit of a dark horse, but the main two in 07 will be FERRARI & McLAREN. Renualt will go backwards due to there drivers.IMO.
