I did. Schumi will do it and he will most likely be the F1 champ this year.

The formula 1 season is only 4 races in but fernando alonso won it in 2005 and my guess is he is going to win it again this year (he is currently in the lead by about 15 points).  I dont think he will three peat next year though as he has already signed to drive for mclaren next year replacing probably Kimi.

Yes he can, but I feel Alonso will win again. I wish F1A would go back to the one engine per race rule and stop making teams use the same engine for more than one race. Schumacher is the best. \n I never understood why Renault got out of Formula 1 in the 1990's. They were on top with Schumacher as the champ for Williams.

I tend to agree with you.\n\n1st - Kimi: One of the 3 fastest drivers in F1 today. Ferrari is the best team with the fastest car right now. Will it be the same comes next season???? If so, it's a no-brainer: He will win\n\n2nd - Massa: One of the 3 fastest. Same car issues as Kimi. His advantage is that he knows the team. It will be a close race all through the season between the 2 Ferrari drivers, but I still think Kimi is a bit faster\n\n3rd - Button: Honda's money and late progress will push him a little bit in the standings\n\n4th - Alonso: First year with McLaren will be the year of adjustments. Good progress for the team and a bunch of points including some victories, but no championship, even if Fernando is the other among the 3 fastest drivers in F1 today\n\nThe Renault drivers don't excite me at all! Fisico breaks down under pressure and makes mistakes on the track. Hekki is so new that he will do well, but it will be too early for laurels. Renault is very good, but I think they are planning for Hekki to mature and make him the N.1 driver eventiually.\n\nHey, of course this is an educated guess. Let's have some fun with some predictions! The truth is that it's impossible to know at this stage...but what fun is it to say that we have to wait for the beginning of the season, bla, bla, bla??? I gave you my forecats based upon the recent past. What is going to happen from now to the first races will shape the championship. Nobody knows who is going to do a better job. Well, perhaps the Super Aguri will win the title and the Ferrari will not score a single point!!!! Hmmm....or not!

Well, with only 18 laps to go, you already have the answer: it'll be Schumi again. It was all about the last pit stop time.

I think Schumacher's time to retire is as soon as they have Kimi signed. there is no way that Schuey will risk his image by running with an equal and talented teammate. He has been able to avoid it for so long, why would he end his career with the possibility of being outclassed by a guy like Kimi?

Good question!\nI do think that, unfortunately, money might have been a factor. But Alonso also took it upon himself to go there, so I'm sure its not the only reason, as it would have been much easier for him to stay at Renault, as Flavio Briatore is his manager.\nPerhaps he just wanted a change of direction or a new challenge, as the wins seem to pretty much fall into his hands at Renault! Maybe he wants to prove to his doubters that he can still win in a less superior car?

It was close, but Fernando Alonso started his title defence very much in the way he ended his championship season last year by winning. Starting fourth the Renault star forced his way past the slow starting Jenson Button and soon after past Felipe Massa to set up the battle with Michael Schumacher. It was close race long but the second and final pit stop saw the Spaniard exit the pits half a car length ahead of Schumacher’s Ferrari and from that point onwards, he absorbed the pressure to win by just over a second.

fernando alonso. normally who ever gets pole at moncaco wins the race as it is very hard to overtake. if schumi was not put at the back of the pack and was let to keep his pole then i wouldve said that he would win.

He is, I don't think he deserves that formula 1 seat, there are so many better drivers than him around, ie. Pizzonia. I don't think he will improve much and I think he's taking someone else's seat in F1 because let's be honest, he isn't a great driver.

Michael Schumacher made a genuine mistake (during the final stages of qualifying) at Monaco, just like he did when he drove Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen and Jacques Villeneuve off the track.\nYou don't make a 'genuine mistake' when, at one point on that last lap, you brake 50 percent harder than on the pole position lap.

Surprise, Surprise!!!I think it will be Michael Schumacher!! He has found his form back and when he is in form, noone can beat him!!

Ya, I saw it. It was really very interesting race. Last year Alonso had held Schumi for nearly last 12-18 laps at second position and finally won the race. But this year the ball moved in Schumi's court and he held alonso second to grab his first victory of the season.

All previous answers have no reasoning behind them. I can also pick whoever I want just because I like one driver and not another. However, your question can and does have valid analytical basis to determine a probable coherent answer:\n\n1) The top teams now are Ferrari and Renault. Actually Ferrari is a little bit faster right now.\n\n2) The Ferrari and Renault drivers are Schumacher, Massa, Alonso and Fisichella. Therefore, given the car package, all four have winning potential.\n\n3) Alonso is on a roll, and he can only lose the championship now. He is arrogant, and his arrogance will keep him ahead of teammate Fisichella.\n\n4) Massa with Ferrari hasn't shown character and determination. He doesn't look like a winner at this stage of his career.\n\n5) Michael is strong, extremely angry, and ready to prove a point. Regardless of his 7 championships, he is still like a kid who wants to show his abilities. We all know them, but he wants to win, win, win.\n\n6) So, you are right in picking Schumi and Alonso as the favorites for Silverstone.\n\n7) Between the two, Schumi is still angry from Monaco, and his car is a tiny bit faster at this juncture (thank to Bridgestone). So, penalties aside, or catastrophic mishaps, Schumacher will win. I have no doubt about it.\n\nNow, I gave you reasons, and explained why. Ponder, ponder, ponder.

At the moment it looks like a straight out fight between Fernando and Kimi. Honda, Ferrari and Williams look to be fast, but not fast enough to challenge for the drivers title, fast enough to be pests in the way though.

Well lot of drama & exicetment is still ahead as Scumi & ferrari has pressed the accelerator, but frankly i think alonso will win in the end. He is intelligent and his car fast & furious and also reliable. It's a pity no one is talking about the flying KIMI.

I have to disagree with you. Although I have been a Ferrari fan basically since birth, I must say McLaren is always a top team. Renault has come and gone, and they will go again, soon. Trust me. But McLaren is an institution which will remain. Now they have some issues, and the package is not as good as Ferrari's and Renault. But look at where Ferrari was a few races ago? Everybody thought they were done and dead. It takes very little in F1 to emerge again. McLaren has the capability to win races this year.\n\nAs far as Kimi to Ferrari is concerned, aside from a lot of rumors, there is nothing confirmed about this move. It would make sense, but Schumacher has not yet made a decision about his future. Massa was hired only a few months ago. And they are also talking to Moto GP champion Valentino Rossi. As of this precise moment, Kimi will not be a Ferrari driver next year. I wish things would mature towards an agreement because Kimi is the fastest driver today, and he would look good in a red jumpsuit.
