With the F1 season just over 3 days away now, there are still some unanswered questions. Some of these might get answered very quickly, some may take longer to flesh out:

• Have Ferrari exorcised the ghosts of the 2005 season? Schumacher says the car is quick, quicker than normal, but they have been hampered by bad weather in testing. Will Massa deliver?
  
  
• Have Mercedes cured the engine problems that blighted McLaren during winter testing, and Kimi during the 2005 campaign?
  
  
• Will Williams and the Cosworth engine package be competitive?
  
  
• Can Renault do it again, and will Alonso's move to McLaren in 2007 have any effect on his 2006 campaign?
  
  
• Can Button finally get the job done, with a quick new Honda and a more challenging teammate?
  
  
• Will Toyota's massive investments finally pay off?
  
  
• Will Adrian Newy come through for Red Bull, and can Coulthard impress once more?
  
  
• What will BMW be able to do with the remains of Sauber? Will Villeneuve finally come to his senses and retire? Will BMW get sick of him by second practice in Bahrain and fire him?
  
  
• What will Midland be able to do with the burnt-out shell of Jordan?
  
  
• How will new boys Liuzzi and Speed shape up?
  
  
• Will Super Aguri be anything more than sub-standard
  

And perhaps the most interesting question:

• What will be the relative performances of the Michelin and Bridgestone tyres now that tyre changes have been re-introduced?
