It will be interesting to see what happens when Ferrari get a motivated top line driver back in one of their cars. I remember how much the other Kimi upset Senna when he turned up at McLaren all those years ago. Senna had grown a bit complacent from having a second rate team mate (Andretti in this instance) & he really had to pull his finger out in the last few races before he disappeared of to Williams.

^^^^^^ yep thats what makes 2007 look exiting...I hope Kimi clicks with Ferrari and he has a huge season and maybe Massa can stick with him. Im sure this will put the wind up the sooky la la Spaniard.

I still cant see Alonso settling in as well in his new seat.

And what are Renault thinking with their 2007 driver line up????? No world champs trophies going to Renault for some time.

I just wonder what Kimi's reaction will be if and when Ferrari insist he starts doing dodgy shit a la Schumacher. Ron Dennis is painfully even handed with his drivers and painfully fair in his dealings so such things may come as a bit of a shock to Kimi.

I don't rate Massa. That he can beat Schumacher reflects badly on the German, not well on the Brazillian.

Why wouldn't Alonso settle in at McLaren? He has consistantly shown he can handle the massive pressure he has been put under (Alot better than some others). His comments on Schumacher were very exacting - great driver - not great for a number of other reasons. Hardly whinging.

Look how well Mansell got on with them. And Ferrari for that matter. And Williams. And Lotus.

Actually, back in the day Rosberg got on alright. As did Lauda. Even de Cesaris.

That it didn't work out for Montoya probably says more about Montoya than McLaren. After all he didn't really get on at Williams, either.

Let's be honest if Ron Dennis can get on with someone as difficult as Ayrton Senna, he can surely get on with Alonso.

My guess is that Mclaren and alonso will get on like a house on fire... They both take the same attitudde towards racing and both demand perfection from themselves and the team. I predict a great future for two of them.

Ron loves Alonso and im sure he'll try to provide him with best... because if he doesnt and Alonso leaves, Mclaren will have no top tier drivers to replace him

Actually, because he is such a talentless hack he only has to do it once to show that Schumacher is no longer at the top of his game.

ok...

so if schumacher wins the title this year, it'll show alonso to be a talentless hack, because he couldnt beat MS who is apparently losing his touch....

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
