Toro Rosso are only releasing a revision of their 2007 car with the new chassis coming after a few races.
I think Force India may even be a bit surprising; they're certainly performing better than Spyker did. But I'm definitely agreeing about Williams, but I guess we'll have to wait until racing starts to really see who's where. Not sure where Nakajima's inexperience will land him, although he does seem to have much potential.
I think the suprise of the season will be Williams. They seem to have been top 6 consistently through testing and will push BMW for third best team. BMW don't seem to be clear in that position, unlike last year. Red Bull will be with Renault - fighting for the scrag ends of the points.
Biggest disappointment will be Honda, certainly for the first part of the season.
Despite Schumacher coming back to test again for Ferarri in Barcelona yesterday, Lewis Hamilton managed a 1:22:276 against Schumacher's 1:22:428.
At the moment, I'm worried that no-one else would be able to keep up with them. Renault don't seem to have it, even with Alsono at the wheel, Honda will do far better this season, but not really anywhere near the front, Williams and BMW might be better suited to challenge though.
Hopefully things will pick up and in three weeks we'll start to see some challenges to the status quo, we need some real races to start off the season.
I'm looking forward to Australia. Whether I get to watch it as it happens this year is another question, though!
Worse case scenario, no Super Aguri.
Ooohh Exciting...
Brawns influence will show some improvement at Honda, and hopefully they'll be up at the front by the end of this season. I can't see them challening the top 4 or 5 from the off though.
