Personally I will pick Alonso every race

but I realise that the McLaren may be unreliable early in the season

But I think the banker would be Fisichella (5th or 6th)

Perhaps Coulthard too (7th or 8th)

The "Banker" would have to be an experienced and consistent driver!

I am afraid you may be right. But for competition's sake I wish all cars were reliable enough so that we can have some nice battles for the podium every race.

He has certainly improved his consistancy and would have to be up among the best of them.

If he can get a couple of firsts in the opening 3-4 races, and, say, another podium while Kimi, and Alonso, are settling in, Kubrica, Button and co will make it hard for them to catch up.

If the McLaren fails and the Raikkonen breaks
If the Fisichella relaxes and the Kovalainen hustles
If the Barrichellos and the Buttons keep BBQing
Then and only then will the Massa be World Championenen
For I fear he is far too inconsistentenen
But if it happens and he does winenen
Then he gets back his title The Rebelenen

Nothing really

A bit of broken logic (learned that from gkaytaz

)
And a bit of broken poetry (cause I felt like it)

You know, music does wierd things to you

Let's take a look to what situation will be in early 2007 (first 3-5 races)
Renault:
+ve: stable technical department +management
-ve :Have New tire supplier + proven inconstancies driver(Fiso) + rookie

Ferrari:
+ve: have massa + Fia + Bridgestone
-ve :broken of dream team technical staff+ No MS+ new face (kimi)

McLaren:
+ve: have number one in the nose of the car
-ve: will have two new driver + new tire supplier+ struggling technical department

Honda:
+ve: have stable driver lineup + stable technical department + zonta
-ve: new tire supplier

BMW:
+ve: have proven driver (Nick) + stable technical department
-ve: new tire supplier + semi rookie (kubica)

Toyota:
+ve: have stable driver lineup + stable technical department + Bridgestone
-ve: Reliability (become too aggressive)

Redbull
+ve: have proven driver (DC) + Boosted technical department
-ve: new tire supplier + new driver (Webber)

Williams:
+ve: management
-ve: new engine + rusty racer (wurz)+ no leader driver

So it will be a mess start for 2007 until the 4th or 5th round and everything settle down

I think if 2006 Bridgestone shoed car have advantage in early 2007 it will be down to Ferrari (massa) and Toyota to dominate, if not it will be really mess and no one can predict any thing until actual race start in 2007
