With MS gone, it'll be Kimi vs Alonso, BMW is not up there yet. Renault is definitely out for the title, though I expect flashes of genius from Kovalainen (and the usual 4 th to 6th spot from fisico)

I disagree, I think Alonso's WC in 2005 was a fluke. He is a good driver but not great, He is hard on the car. Look at what happened in Imola. He fractured his knee crashing over the chicanes too hard. Do you think the McLaren is up to that abuse? I don't. Kimi's mirror fell off in Qualy last weekend!!! The cars fall apart!!
He might win 1 or 2 races next year, if he wins 3 I will be very suprised. Keep in mind he has to adjust to the Bridgestone tires next year and deal with a car that is very touchy and problematic. I think he will have a lot of DNF's next year.
Kimi also has to adjust to the Bridgestones but is at least going to a chasis that has run it and knows the tire. I think Kimi will win the WC but it will be a close race between a few drivers.
I really think this tire change will turn the entire field on its ears. I think you are going to see a lot of the Bridgesotne clad cars from this year more competative next year. I do not think the Bridgestone tire is the better tire.
