    Not too sure about this. As a Tifoso, of course I hope for better. How about this:

    1) Mercedes
    2) Ferrari
    3) Red Bull
    4) Williams
    5) McLaren
    6) Renault
    7) Haas
    8) Force India
    9) Sauber

    Ferrari may benefit more from added traction in new tire set up.

    In my dreams of course


    In reality, definitely a great year to get plenty of sleep on a Sunday as Mercedes probably get both titles again. A few new tyres and tweaks won't make up for the built in engine advantage they have

    Red Bull > strongest driver line up, great design team, question is the engine...
    Mercedes > more hope that they can get dethroned than anything
    Ferrari > last years turmoil and throwing everything around happened to late I fear
    Torro Rosso > I think they could surprise with a strong Renault engine
    Mclaren > A better working engine, more understanding...surely they can do something!?
    Williams > inexperienced rich kid and a tired Massa will cost them
    Force India > no money, though they continue to surprise so wouldn't be surprised if they finish 4th!
    Renault > They can't go more backwards surely!
    Sauber > more experience than Haas
    Haas > I presume they have to build their own car now, without Ferrari suspension and peek notes...

    Yep. I don't think they'll participate. They where around 4 seconds of the pace last year, they don't have a car and want to use last years car. Basically if they want to do that is they widen the floor, their wings will be bodge jobs to comply to new regulations. The car won't qualify, they'll be too far off the pace. They don't even have drivers, no sponsor is dumb enough to fund anyone to drive for that team right now, as that money will go straight to the creditors, not to the attempted run of that team...

    If by some miracle they'll make it to the grid in Australia, they'll be bankrupt by the start of the European season.

    As far as I know, they still can buy Ferrari parts. Although they won´t have unlimited wind tunnel time like in their first year.

    Anyway: maybe we should wait to see the cars testing or something before trying to do a prediction, shouldn´t we?

    Thats why FERRARIPILOT posted this in the beginning, very little info(last yrs and current 2017 changes) to base your predictions at the time he posted this. He states it on his first post. Thats what makes it interesting.

    Haha! It would be cool! Maybe one day if Liberty and the FIA change the climate sufficiently. They certainly do like to battle Merc.

    Then this is just like roulette. I prefer something like poker: you need luck, but you also have to guess something.
