With so many driver/personnel/rule changes, it will be an interesting year. First, the rookies Kovalainen, Hamilton, Sutil (and Davidson, kind of). Then you have the team mate battles Massa vs Kimi, Fisi vs Heikki, DC vs Webber. It'll be also interesting to see how the sophomores will fare this year; Rosberg, Kubica. Can the oldies teach the young guns a thing or two? - Wurz, Jarno, Ralf, DC, Rubens. Can Jenson win another race? Can Red Bull B team stick it up to the big brother team? Can Gascoyne spice up the Spyker team? 10th in Brazil for Sato and Super Aguri - can they do better this year? And Heidfeld - always forgotten. Will he be forgettable once again?
Despite all the speculations, my guess is (I hope I'm wrong) that there won't be too many surprises. It'll be the usual suspects doing the usual things. Alonso, Kimi, Massa will be the regular champagne sprayers. There was a lot of hype when JPM went to McLaren and Fisi went to Renault...people talked about team mate rivalry. But we all know it was all a one sided affair. I think the same will happen again this year. Alonso will kick Hamilton's backside, so will Fisi Heikki's and...well, I don't know about Massa and Kimi.

BMW
wont be in the running
traditionally new teams in their 2nd year have a hard time
so dont expect much
Webs MUST take his chance and anyalate DC if he is to not be labelled a wannabe in the F1 paddock and I think Webs can do it but the car must prove reliable in Winter testing so watch Webber for about 3 podiums in the year and generally keeping tabs on the front runners (consistent points finisher)
Jense MUST get a good start to the season and the same can be said of Massa if both have good starts for the first 3 races then they can use that platform to have a solid season and for Felipe to be champion? (as a Ferrari fan I believe this)
Lord help the Reggie if Kovi beats Fisico in the first 3 races in quali alone by a score of 3-0 or 2-1 then expect disharmony in that team as Fisico maybe will fail to dominate that car like Fernando did.
Macca well whats to be said loads of money but no car to go with it, expect solid points and possibly 2 wins
Men to Watch - Massa and Jense and Webbs and dependant upon the development of the car Adrian Sulti

To be honest the man to watch in '07, although he wont win a race will be Mark Webber.
Finally up against a 'known' opponent, (who admittedly is on his way out), with a Newey designed car, a reliable Renault engine. I expect podiums this year from Mark.
I think due to the control tyre that Kimi and Ferrari will have a massive advantage.
Button in my opinion is another Damon Hill. I loved Damon, but he needs a brilliant car to challenge for a title. Honda wont quite be there yet, although the engine freeze will probably assist them more than other team. But with a 'B' team in Super Aguri to look after too, (building and supplying parts for them) i think their focus will be too diverted. Kubica is a name to watch, and I'm quite interested to see the new Williams pairing. I rate Wurz very highly, and i think he & Nico will have a close battle this year.
Aside from all that, Lewis Hamilton will steal a lot of limelight from Alonso, which will assist Fernando two-fold. Firstly, the extra attention Lewis recieves from his rookie status, ethnic backgrond, and country of origin can only add to his pressure. This will inturn allow Alonso to remain focused and perform at an even greater standard.
I'm boldly predicting a Kimi win in the title, but only just from Fernando. I cant see anyone putting up a real challenge against them.
Highlights will come from BMW, Red Bull and Honda. But sporadically

Been thinking long and hard about this over the winter. I think toyata have a strong chance as the are the only team that have stayed constant with tyres engine a drivers but I dont know if they now have the race pace etc, however Jenson has got alot to live upto. If honda and he can adapt to the trye change then I think we will see lots of pole starts but again will they have what it takes to keep up with kimi and massa. That being said Alonso will win the championship.

Man to watch is Lewis Hamilton.
The world will be waiting for Kimi & Alonso rivalry to take off into a different orbit.
High time Honda got their act together. This year could be Button's last chance.
Renault will make it if Fisi gets his act together. They will be highly reliable.
Ferrari will be on a downhill.

Definitely Kimi!
It would also be nice to see how Alonso manages with Mclaren and if they can give him a car that will last for a whole race!
Sorry... I do not agree on your comment about Button...a great job is not won with only 1 race. Its like Tiago Montiero winning 3rd in Indianapolis in 2005.

This season will be interesting to watch with all the new drivers and the vets who have switched teams...speaking of which...
" wow, c'mon, too easy ALONSO/Renault" from above - pull your head out of your ***! How can you say it's 'too easy' when you don't even have a clue that Alonso switched over to McLaren! This wasn't even a deal that was just announced - it was known since the middle of last season at least. Dumbass.
I think a number of the drivers will be intersting to watch but in the end I suspect that Kimi will walk away with the title at the end of it all. I just hope he doesn't run away with it.

Mark Webber, Adrian Sutil, Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalanen. Kimi is going to do much better than Felipe and alonso in 2007.

It's always those who know the least who speak the loudest.
"massa has more chance then kimi"?
When did you watch an F1 race for the first time? Last October?

I would say Massa- He has shown that he can be a racewinner, and if the Scuderia can provide him with a car to do so, he could be in contention for the WDC!
But then again... RBR have Renault engines with an Adrien Newey Design- so DC and Webber could be in with a shout!
FORZA FERRARI!
