Every year it's the same pre-season catch-cry - 'This One Will Be The Best Yet'. Enthusiastic journalists and optimistic fans will all proclaim that the off-season movements and testing are pointing toward the most competitive year of Formula One in recent memory. Sometimes they're right - 2003 and 2005 were very close seasons.

Then there are those seasons where a driver (usually Michael) has the title wrapped up by about the third round, and proceeds to win every race without anything even resembling close competition. There's always the risk that one driver-team combination will dominate - but thankfully, 2006 doesn't look like one of those years. And here, team by team and driver by driver, we explain exactly why it will be the Best Yet.
