But in the long run Barrichello's youthful personality will pass the old and tired Button. As we all know, Rubens is known for his abitlity to stabilize the car with his phenomenal left foot braking skills

i just hope that we go into the last couple of races with 4 or more drivers still with a chance of winning the title. then maybe the FIA will stop this stupid winner takes all idea for next year.

Räikkönen/Massa/Button/Barichello but here my vote goes to Räikkönen

Quote from el pibe :

kimi . he showed that he had the pace today, but his car wasnt reliable enough to win. he will win in malasya tho.... longer straights = better for kers cars


OR

Vettel

Reliable? i.e. kimi crashing into the wall?

I think one of the brawns might do it. But will have to wait till malaysia to get a good view on things

Hey guys, who you think will be World Champion of the 2009 season?
Vote for your favorite driver for the Chamionship of 2009!

Unable to comply with the OP.

I think Kimi (no, I am not a Ferrari Fan) but my favourite drivers are Rubens and Nico.

Quote from 1993weeman :

Am going to say Button. Don't think he will win it but i would like him to get close to it at least

Couldn't agree more
And It wil not happen becaus i wil sudenly come in a one car team called Chrisuu racing and pwn them all.

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

button wins one race and now ppl think he'll be champ

No im just a great fan of Rubens and jenson their my 2 favorites ever since jensen was in williams.

So I love to see him winning

I've supported Button since 2000. I liked Honda, and I think Brawn are brilliant (because of what they've done in a short amount of time - forming the team from the remains of Honda F1, adapting the car to a different engine, barely testing and yet winning the first race. I suppose that could be considered as supporting them because they are quick, but I like to think I support them because they used to be slow).

But I think Vettel will end up pinching the championship. Or Kubica. The Ferrari's haven't gelled yet and it'll be too late by the time they do. McLaren is rubbish, and I don't think they'll luck into 3rds very often, or even points every race. Even Minardi scored points at Melbourne with Webber, but look where they were nearly everywhere else.

One wonders what Toyota will manage without the terrible luck they had in Oz. I think they'll be nearly there all year, but not quite break into the regular winners circle. But Glock will win one.

too early to give accurate guess - wait until the first 4 races then make a better judgement

Vettel, I hope. My second guess would be Button.

Sutil will do it. He almost won that race there. He was awesome, coming back from 1 lap down to 9th! COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP!

I don't believe that Brawn GP will hold their position through the whole long season. It would be nice to see Kovalainen or Kubica take the title

Those would be my guesses too. The Brawns if they are lucky enough to keep their advantage. Ferrari, just because they have money and two good drivers and their car isn't that far off the pace, (allowing for incidents and reliability). I can't see that the other teams have the resourses or ability to improve enough. McLaren have the money but I think they're just too far behind. All the others have never shown themselves to improve greatly over a season in the past so there's no reason to think they will this season either. With the exception of Renault that is, who may be a fly in the oitment.

Kovalainen is way off, he will be lucky to score some points(i am a mclaren fan), but Kubica seems alot more stonger and could come up at the podium a few times.
