I was just wandering what you guys thought the outcome of the championship would be, yes you're probably thinking it's way to early to judge but there are several factors in my opinion
1. Renault are quick
2. Honda are NOT as quick as their pre season testing showed.
3. McLaren are a huge team that can surely make a few tenths(especially with chassis and engine upgrades for Australia and Nurburgring)
4. Ferrari have dodgy engines and fixing it may cause a loss in performance as a redesign may be needed.
5. Alot of controversy over the flexi wings which if is proven legal will result in nearly all teams using some sort of a flexible wing.
6. Honda's Jenson may be quick but Barrichello is a tortoise compared to him.
7. Raikkonen speedy but not lucky.
8. Williams also seem quick and could prove a factor later which could spoil the championship for a team if williams start winning.
9. Massa is quick but how many mistakes will he end up making and how many drivers will he take out by locking his rear brakes.
10. Will Scott Speed ever let the leaders pass and not hold them up.
Personally being a Huge McLaren fan i want them to succeed but in reality that chance is not as Big as Renaults who just seem to be running away with championship alredy 28pts from 2 races this year compared to 26pts in '05, plus the 05 Champs have promised upgrades for every race which is quite worrying(personally i hope that one of those major upgraes will fuck them like it did to Williams last year). Also with bridgestones back to competitive form Renault's Pat Symonds has warned of a Ferrari domination at cooler circuits(think back to imola last year), which could also help williams and toyota.
So Make Your Predictions.
