Formula 1: Webber? Vettel? Alonso?

Last Thursday, Mark Webber came out and topped the times during testing currently being held in Barcelona this week. On a day that saw more red flags come out during testing this season, Mark remained on top with a time of 1:21.487 and appeared to have had the most successful performance of the day, completing 109 laps.

Though this success would be overshadowed today by a huge effort from the Spaniard, Fernando Alonso. Running a time in @ 1:20.637, 8/10 of a second quicker than Mark's Thursday time and 3/10 quicker than Alguersuari of Red Bull's, Toro Rosso. During testing today, Vettel ran around 5Th for most of the day, during times of heavy fuel loads and ran 4Th overall for the day. Schumacher, although making small modifications, finished 6Th for the day however, was rumoured to have been simply running track sequences and practising pit runs.

Once again, Trulli just fucking sucked.

So, I'm left with the question, who the fuck is going to win the driver's title this year? Well the short answer is, I don't know. I can however make some small assumptions and point out some things I think might be relevant.

Firstly, I sincerely believe that the main contenders will be; Vettel, Webber, Alonso, Hamilton and maybe, just maybe (because of the ever so ominous shadow that is) Schumacher.
Webber and Vettel performed so consistently last season and without any Major changes to their team, nor have they had any revolutionary changes to their car but rather an evolution, I think they will be far ahead of the competition. As far as development into pace is concerned, these two can now afford to make runs on heavy fuel loads.

At this stage, I am not going to try and make assumptions on Schumacher or Hamilton but one must notice the advancements being made over in the Ferrari garage. Typically, Alonso can bring 7/10 to any team and bringing those valuable times to a team like Ferrari, certainly makes me nervous, thinking about how competitive they will be this season. Don't worry about Massa, his career is over, it's Alonso's time now with the stallion.



Conclusion:
I still do not know, but I hope Webber can take it out in what appears to be his last season in F1, but he'll have plenty of competition from his good friend Alonso and of course, plenty to wrangle from within his own camp.
