I bet marussia and caterhams slow speed is due to them working on 2014 for the last decade so I'm going for

1. Bianchi
2. Caterham no.1
3. Caterham no.2
..
..
22. Chilton

This is proper anyone's-guess stuff but I'm going for more of an outsider:

1. Rosberg
2. Hamilton
3. Vettel

Ferrari cock it up again and Alonso's out.

Red Bull (and Newey in particular) seem to excel with rule changes (2013 tyres notwithstanding). Have a feeling it'll be the Vettel show again - assuming reliability holds up.

ETA: I'm basing this on the rumours that the Mercedes powertrain is the strongest, enabling Mercedes powered cars to dominate Qualifying. I think Vettel will win several races but struggle at others and perhaps have some reliability issues. Alonso is in there because in my opinion he can never be overlooked, I personally think that he is possibly the best all-round driver on the grid and seems to out-perform whatever package he's given. I think McLaren will have a much better season especially in the second half, but I don't think either McLaren driver will be contesting for the championship at the end.

Alonso
Button
Kimi

(I'm still not 100% which way round the Ferrari's could be but for now that's my guess)

Very true. Alonso has been given utter dogs to drive for the past couple of seasons and not only has he won a couple of races, he's even been in the fight for 1st in the WDC! I hope he gets a decent car this coming season!

He also had very decent cars in 2007 and 2010 and lost out to much less experienced drivers.
