Red Bull is the most likely to win this championship, closely followed by Ferrari.

However my vote goes to McLaren. Their car does not look too strong at this stage of the season. But it is a strong team at many levels, which I think will make them a contender. Both drivers are excellent too.

Red Bull and Ferrari are known for strategy mistakes last season which could cost them dearly if that happens again this year.

I went for Red Bull.

McLaren has good drivers, but their car was the most unreliable in testing as well as being slower than expected.

They may only be a drinks company, as Hambone said but they do have the best designer in the business.

I think its' going to be Red Bull's year to shine as the constructors' champion, but with the new tires from Pirelli being used this year, it will be interesting to see who gets a grip on them first.

My feeling is that Red Bull will again clinch the manufacturers championship closely followed by Ferrari. McLaren will get there but are giving these two teams a head start by not having their car up to speed at this early stage of the season.
