Considering how unpredictable next year is going to be, i thought i might as well make this thread.
It seems every team wants a piece of the action, and they have good reason, all the teams.

So who will be the best of the rest, right behind the front runners, which for the purpose of this thread i'm going to say BMW will be far ahead next year and going for wins.


Honda
With a horrid year behind them, Honda are desparate to make good progress next year. With drivers like Button and Barrichello onboard, they've got the experience. But now they also have the know-how of Ross Brawn and a bunch brilliant new techical people on board, its almost a sure-fire way to make the progress they want.

Renault
Another bad year and livery team, Renault haven't forgotten how to make a race winning car cliams Briatore, with apparent steps already being taken to put Renault back on top, they everything to gain and little to lose.

Williams
Sam Micheal, williams tech director has already said Willaims have turned a corner in terms of Technical talk. Willaims are one of the greatest teams in Formula, and aren't prepared to stay mid-feild for much longer, plus with the progress they saw this year, and competeing with the BMW's at times, even coming out on top in Brazil, Williams are team you can't deny they have the pontenial to best of the rest next year.

Red Bull.
With Adrian Newy onboard for over a year, Red Bull have no excuses next year. They have the speed, as Webbers preformance in Germany, and Coulthards blast in Spain have shown. All they need is that last piece of the jigsaw to see themselves bitting at the heels of the top teams.

Toyota
With the biggest budget in the business, Toyota have all the resources in the world. Now with the Skill of Glock to, Toyota are a pontenial threat next year. Not only that, Toyota began the development of the TF108 in march and are set to release their car before anyone else. Giving them a huge Handicap over other teams.

Or could one of the top 3 have a bad year and end up fighting with the mid feild pack

Williams will be best of the rest, if not challenging McLaren, Ferrari and BMW.

I think Williams and Renault will be the best of the rest.

I also think Super Aguri mght surprise some - they picked up more points than I expected this season - and that was with scaled back R&D thanks to their main sponsor not paying up. So with a full budget, I think they might surprise some of the midfield teams.

I think Williams, with a very narrow margin over Red Bull (unless they sign Alonso, then ill have to change my vote)...

Honda will improve, but I doubt they will make it to Top 4. Renault could get crippled.

That's pretty strong prediction and if their car is anything like it was in '07 the only team's/driver's he will outshine are of those behind him.
