Pingwings interests me Rubens to win the title and Williams to come 5th in the constructors. You should get down the bookies. I'd love to know the lowest a constructor has ever come with the driver winning the title.

Glaucus · 28 Feb 2010 at 19:27

I really have no idea how this season is going to go, but if I have to predict.

I think RBR and Ferrari will be the ones on form, from the first race, with Mclaren coming back strong and Mercedes just solid throughout the year, winning many but never quite seem to be the fastest.

World Drivers Championship - Top 6

1. Lewis
2. Schumacher
3. Massa
4. Alonso
5. Vettle
6. Button

Constructors Championship - Top 6

1. Ferrari
2. McLaren
3. RBR
4. Mecedes
5. Williams
6. BMW - if they are on the grid
