As most F1 fans know, they say the real season starts in Europe after the first 3 fly-away races, as the teams settle into their rhythm and real car developments come on-line. While F1 comes back to start the real season, Kimi easily has the edge in points, as Hamilton has floundered after his Aussie domination. The Constructors’ though, is almost even slate. Whereas Ferrari and McLaren have had problems bringing both cars home in points, BMW’s duo continues to bring home both in solid points finishes.
I’m still sticking with Kimi as my horse as the season hits full swing, the F2008 is undeniably the class of the field. McLaren is going to need to put in some work to get on level footing with the Scuderia, especially with BMW taking points off the board and being a challenger themselves. I also still think BMW will need to get extremely lucky to win as I mentioned before, but they have no doubt solidified themselves as the clear third challenger. I will admit though, that I did miss the boat on predicting their performance, especially putting the lost Renault team to be ahead of them.
See you in Barcelona!
