I have been thinking about the upcoming F1 season and how the respective teams will perform this year:

• Renault - Will Alonso's move to Maclaren next year mean Trulli will get the best car?
• Ferrari - Are they back to form ?
• Maclaren - will the loss of so may important design & engineering staff mean self-destruction ... and, will the Merc V-8 be reliable ?
• Honda - have they gotten their act together ... at last ?
• Williams - engines will be their (biggest) weakness
• Toyota - will they continue the progress made last year ?
• Can/will any of the rest really offer competition ?
• Will the US GP be another fiasco, or will Michelin bring a "compatible" tire ?
