The Stars Align
by Will Gray
In a season that brought virtually no surprise on race weekends, the real competition seems to be held in board rooms, as the Formula One drivers battle for the remaining spots in the 2005 line up. Marked as one of the biggest reshuffle in years, as many as thirteen driver changes will be made by next season - and there's plenty of surprises and disappointments left... Will Gray, Atlas F1's GP Correspondent and Paddock Resident, reviews the ten teams and their twenty seats - who's going where, who is being left out, and what question marks remain hanging
Boy Wonder
by David Cameron
Mark Webber's now confirmed long term deal with Williams has officially marked the Australian as one of the biggest hopes for the sport's future. Whether it's former World Champions Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda or rivals Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button, Webber clearly enjoys an overwhelming support in the paddock for his talent and abilities. But without the results just yet, the 2005 season will be crucial for the making of the new boy wonder. Judging by the meticulous way he's gone about his job in the last few years, those who work with Webber have no doubt he will deliver. David Cameron talked to the men who know Webber best, and interviewed the rising star himself

In Search of the Holy Grail
by Karl Ludvigsen
There is no scientifically-proven way to assess whether a driver will turn out to be the best choice or not; there are only gut feelings and calculated guesses. But there's also telemetry and plenty of data to assist the team chiefs in pursuing the black art of drivers selection - and judging on recent years, teams don't always utilise the information in the optimal way. Atlas F1's Karl Ludvigsen reflects on the selection process behind the 2005 line-up reshuffle
Chemistry Cocktail
by Richard Barnes
Formula One is a team sport, which means that more often than not a driver's most significant rival is his teammate. But how do you make two rivals work together? And where is the line crossed between a healthy competition to a destructive feud? Atlas F1's Richard Barnes looks at some of the interesting pairings for 2005, and analyses the chemical balance among them
The Conservative Party
by David Cameron
You would think that with such a sweeping change for 2005, a wave of new talent would roll into the sport, but instead it's the same drivers that are moving around to different teams and, worse still, names from the past of drivers who retired or should have retired pop up as candidates for a return. Is there no more talent on the steps leading to F1? Or has the sport become too conservative? Atlas F1's David Cameron takes a look at the recent trends
