I think you are right. I'd guess the DD wil help, but BMW still won't podium.

Ferrari will be strong but I'm a Kimi fan........3rd

Webber will up his game and beat Vettel.........4th or 5th

Alonso 2nd should be strong but wont beat the winner............Button #1; package is very strong.

Button for all of the aero tracks, Monaco was a surprise to me. Its hard to believe the Brawny car shines at both aero and mechanical -- good for them a tough thing to master!!

Ferrari, obviously now, has good mechanical.

If this were to happen, I foresee a comeback of A. Wayne predicting the greatest driver to ever live has once again willed a "Donkey Cart" across the finish line well ahead of those with much superior cars and how this guy wasn't at Ferrari at least 2 years earlier is a mystery and... and... and....

In coming...?

Agree it's almost impossible to win 5 in a row. I think Brawn will win, but it might be Barrichello's turn.

Mosley: F1 needs new teams
FIA president hits back at Ferrari claims
Last updated: 2nd June 2009


FIA president Max Mosley has once again hit back at Ferrari's claims that the new teams who want to join F1 next season are not up to standard.

Ferrari, as well as Renault team boss Flavio Briatore, have blasted the quality of teams - with the Italians sarcastically suggesting that "it be more appropriate to call it Formula GP3?" if the likes of Wirth Research, Lola and USF1 sign up.

Mosley, though, is having none of it, warning that Formula One will die if new entrepreneurs don't enter the sport.

"No sport is healthy without new people coming in," Mosley told Germany's Deutsche Presse Agentur.

"Ferrari forget that the current BMW team started as Sauber, the current Williams team started with Williams buying March, [and] Tyrrell started a little team at the end of the sixties that was Honda and is now Brawn.

"Even Enzo Ferrari himself came along in 1948 and started from nothing. If you stopped those new entrepreneurs coming in, Formula 1 will die. You can't have just a lot of old men running it."
