Massa

Massa might just be the driver I'd like to win it most of all, hoping for a strong season for Williams.

Indeed, I did read some quite positive and good stuff about Williams for 2014, can't remember where unfortunately though. In a car that can make it to the pointy end of the grid with a degree of regularity , some good reliability, and no team orders he is definitely in with a shout.

Whilst I don't think Massa will be in with a shout of the WDC I do think we will see a different man now he is free from Ferrari, in the past few years he never seemed to look happy but he's still a bloody good driver and I think he will shine and will at least get a few podiums.

I've put a small wager on Button @ 9/1 and on Ricciardo @ 33/1 ew.

I've voted with my heart rather than my head with this one, and voted for Jenson.

F1 is a sport, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the sky fairies decided - all things considered - that another WDC for JB would be a fitting and lasting tribute to Button Snr.

Lewis or Nico. Voting Nico because of Lewis' mood swings.

I'm the same. Hovered over them both before choosing Nico. He seems far more capable of consistency.

[Northernchimp]

Magnussen. I'm expecting him to annihilate Button. I thought Perez would win 2013 though.

Actually voted for Rosberg, currently excellent value at 10/1.

[BJG1]

Poll currently looks a lot more like a wishlist than anything else

[Inertiatic]

Genuinely don't know...which is brilliant!

[Bradgate]

It's all guesswork at this stage. The Red Bull, when they finally get it running, could be a second a lap quicker than the field. It could also, on current evidence, DNF in the first 5 races.

No-one knows, including the teams.

We don't yet know how quick the Mercedes is, but there is already some evidence that it will be reliable, which will be crucial in the first half of the season.

Having said all that, my dodgy prediction is for Rosberg. I think the new cars will suit his strengths more than Hamilton's. We all saw how frustrated Lewis got when he couldn't drive last year's car flat out ("I can't drive any slower, man"). This year will be more of the same.

[MGJohn]

I have voted for Rosberg. Just a hunch. Probably the most under rated F1 driver of the current line up. Looks like he will have the kit for the job now on the shallow evidence currently available.

Mind you, would prefer to see Button or Hamilton successful. Then anyone bar old misery guts...

Be uber-delighted if Raikkonen is more successful than Alonso.

[Melman Giraffe]

Still time to vote

[celicawrc]

Lewis.

Partly down to the reliability of the Merc but also because with the reduced aero, the racing should be more driver focused. And i think he has the most skill.

[rev-erend]

Lewis - so long as his g/f does not leave him...

Nico could be a good outside bet.

[Laplace]

As a fan, Lewis. However, I'd be equally happy to see Nico take the title as I think he can really do some damage with the right car under him, which it looks like he might have this year.

Failing that, anyone but Vettel.

yes

[dugsud]

Hamilton or Rosberg with Massa as an outside bet if the Williams is as good as it looks!

[blueg33]

Much as a like Button, I think it will be Lewis, he can usually make an average car perform well and so far it looks like his car is above avaerage.

JB needs a good car set up to his liking.

[Petrus1983]

1% went other... so basically me and someone else... I'd like to see Massa give it a good shot, he knows how to win, has had the pressure of being in a World Championship battle, and I just feel the Williams could be a good car this year.
