ITV F1 pundit and Crash.net columnist Mark Blundell previews the action ahead of the Australian GP - the opening round in the 2008 FIA F1 World Championship...
I think Mr Blundell is sadly mistaken, in the prediction of Massa as title favourite. The boy is still getting to grips with TC, he wins when only in the lead and he still does'nt have that edge, that thing to make things work for him. Now that the huge weight of championship champion is over, it will be upwards and onwards for Kimi. He is the leading driver in the Ferrari camp at the moment, and it will be very difficult to stop him. Mr Blundell has already gone for an Australian win this weekend. Why. Not so sure about Massa eh? Just my viewpoint...
Anyway, I really enjoyed Mr Blundell's article's, I love the insight he gave last year...
Let's see who wins this year, I'll be back

Mr Brundel dont forget the next time you write about this:
"In some ways, he has got nothing to lose and has seen what Lewis did against Alonso as a rookie. There is no reason to think it is not achievable by somebody else."
"In some ways, he has got nothing to lose and has seen what Lewis did against Alonso as a rookie WITH THE HELP OF RD AND ALL OF HIS TEAM SAVOTAGING ALONSO'S CAR. There is no reason to think it is not achievable by somebody else."
Anyway, I respect LH as a great driver, but last year he had all the help he needed from the team to beat Alonso. We will see how long does it take for Heiki to begnin complaining.

Pepito Only the most stupid contributor here honestly believes that FA got anything less than equal equipment last year. Change the record, face facts, and move on.
Explain then why LH Hamilton car was almost 8 tents faster than alonso's in the last race. Yes of course, sily me, LH is superman and FA is supernanny, that is why.

"I don't think Honda will be hanging around the midfield too long."
That's if you assume Honda is at the midfield to begin with. I disagree with Mark Brundell. Honda right now is firmly at the rear of the field. Absolutely nothing in testing has indicated Honda is in the midfield. I believe Honda will be in the midfield for quite a while to come.

Honda and Toyota are backmarkers. If Ferrari and McLaren are untouchable, then Red Bull, Williams and BMW are surely the best of the rest. Red Bull will only get stronger each year, they have the workings to be a truly great team - same goes for BMW. I belive Williams will struggle to keep up with Red Bull and BMW in the long term.

Red Bull will only get stronger? That remains to be seen. Williams has a better chance than Red Bull to be "best of the rest". Remember Red Bull's goal last year to achieve 4th in the constructor's championship and to be contending for podiums? It did not really happen. We will see if their new car has improved in reliability.
In two different tests this winter Toyota achieved top testing times. Toyota is no backmarker this year, they will firmly be in the midfield. Too bad the same can't be said of Honda.
