Even this early on, I don't think anyone can topple Alonso. He's a good driver in a fast and, just as importantly, reliable car. That's a tough package to beat.

I'd like to see Kimi do better this season than he did last, but that'll come down to reliability. He had too many engine failures last year to really pose a big threat. On the other hand, that was Alonso's strong point. If he didn't win, he often ended second, or at least somewhere in the points. The onyl race he didn't finish was Montreal.

What do you think?

EDIT: Welcome to the boards, Kimster! I didn't notice that was your first post.
