Default F1 Who's ya money on this year?

It may be very early but how do you think this year is going to pan out? Testing has not given much away yet. Can it be McLaren's year for the constructors and driver's title PLEASE.

Well williams was fastest by a large margin in the final test, but it was changing conditions, and i think they got the timing right.

Personally i would like to see mclaren fighting properly for the title again, rather than playing catch up to fight for it.
Red bull will be up there again now that they've won the title.
Ferrari will be hard to beat, but it will be nice to see the likes of Team lotus Racing (renault) and Brawn-mercedes doing well, along with some of the others.

But I think it will be Ferrari (Massa I hope), Red Bull (Webber I hope) and Mclaren (either).

It will be a close year.

I don't think the test so far give us the full picture.

I've heard that Newey has again done a fantastic job, and that Red Bull will also this year have a large advantage from the get go. If they in addition have less faults and make less mistakes, they should be leading the championship from start to finish. And I think Vettel will be both confident and relaxed, and will get the upper hand vs. Webber.

Ferrari will also be very strong, very close to Red Bull in race pace, but now qualifying. Massa has a lot to prove, but I think he will mess up as he's not the cool customer like Alonso. Which I'm convinced will overshadow him once again.

I'd really wish McLaren would be up to the job. But I don't think the car is good enough still... Will have some straight line advantage, but the bulls will kill them in the curves...

Furthermore I think it will be another embarrassing year for Schuey... at least they've stopped blaming the front tyres now. Rosberg will kick his behind all 2011 is my bet. MS is passé...

Btw I won a bet based F1 "fantasy league" competition last year My money were on Vettel, Alonso and Ferrari.

So my bet will be very similar this year...

1) Vettel
2) Webber
3) Alonso
4) Hamilton
5) Barrichello???
