The 2011 F1 season is a month away IS HERE and already there has been a big Huayra over it. With the Bahrain riots and Robert Kubica's crash, the season isn't starting off smoothly. Anyways on to the top 5 contenders.
Car name: RB7
Position last year: 1st
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
Strengths: The greatest aerodynamic engineer EVER [Adrian Newey], The fastest driver on the field [Vettel], fastest of the experienced drivers [Webber] strong on tracks with a lot of twisty bits
Weaknesses: plagued last year with reliability issues, Vettel can be a bit wreckless, poor performance on faster tracks, no fully functioning KERS system as yet [but they've been disregarding it nonetheless and still acquiring wins]
Summary: The team that rose from nothing to the top has now become the prey with now 5 teams entering the top rankings. Suggested team for those who like underdogs [not really underdogs now but u get the point] and teams named after energy drinks
Car name: MP4-26
Position last year: 2nd
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
Strengths: The only team with 2 former driver's champs, fairly reliable car, fastest on the straights last season, radically designed sidepods and exhausts [they're back to boring exhausts now] A very aggressive overtaker [Hamilton] and a man that can drive a fragile car fast [Button]
Weaknesses: They haven't won a constructor's title since 1998, slower than the Red Bulls around corners. Button has a tendency to fall asleep at the wheel
Summary: One of the Top Four teams struggling to claw its way back up to the top step, after having to recover from a poor season in 2009, 2010 showed how quickly they can turn around a car
Car name: F150th Italia
Position last year: 3rd
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
Strengths: The most consistently fast team EVAR, most constructors wins EVAR, oldest team in F1, Alonso is a damn good driver and Massa can be an excellent pawn especially with team orders being introduced this season.
Weaknesses: They tend to have a lot of slow spells and due to the constant pawning of Massa, although Alonso may well and be world champ, there's a low possibility that they will win the constructors title.
Summary: One of the Top Four teams that has long been the favorite among many, recommended team for band waggonists or ppl that like Marlboro cigarettes
Car name: MGP W02
Position last year: 4th
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
Strengths: A good mix of experience [Schumacher] and young talent [Rosberg], the legendary team principal that is Ross Brawn, lots of development work went into this car from the middle of last season
Weaknesses: Still a big 'if' surrounding Schumacher's place in the sport
Summary: One of the teams that should be winning but isn't, for ppl that believe in teams like Liverpool and the Chicago Cubs
Lotus - Renault GP [not to be confused with Team Lotus]
Car name: R31
Position last year: 5th
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
- Nick Heidfeld/Germany/9/18 [replacing Robert Kubica]
- Vitaly Petrov/Russia/10/13
Strengths: The most radically designed car and for awhile the fastest car in pre season practice, lots of development time last season, so far they've got 2 3rd place spots and have been mixing it with the top tier
Weaknesses: No Kubica, may never win a race
Summary: A team that has a car that quite possibly outclasses it drivers. [which is the first this has happened ironically] For people that like black and yellow and Soviet Russians
Car name: C30
Position last year: 8th
Drivers [Driver name/country/Car #/position last season] :
Strengths: Two men that do not know the meaning of brake points.
Weaknesses: Don't expect a win from them, not exactly the prettiest car
Summary: By far the most entertaining team, usually spends their time buzzing around the Mercedes team. For people that love vigilant overtaking and Claro
