List your picks for which driver you think will win the 2012 F1 drivers championship.

I would like to go against the popular vote but Sebastian Vettel is my pick. He won too many pole positions last year and the other constructors are still trying to catch up to RBR.

Hamilton this year.

[kerc]

Hamilton this year.

[racechick]

Hamilton this year.

Make that three

[LRW]

Schumacher.

Yes I'm serious.

[scotty]

It'd be insane to say anyone other than Vettel is favourite...

[vlad]

Vettel, in every way!

[Big Azza]

Yeah... I'll say Vettel as well.

But really looking forward to the Mercedes car. Hopefully they will do well.

Vettel would be good but I doubt it. He doesn't get on well with hat-tricks.

Title number 8 for Schumacher would be even better but unless Merc have learnt how not to screw-up their car it ain't going to happen.

It all depends on the cars...

I cannot possibly predict this until testing is over and the cars have assembled in Melbourne. THEN, I will make the prediction.

There is just no way a feasible prediction can be made at this stage in the game.

Same here. The brain has absolutely no basis to stand on at this stage, so the heart can only support the favourite. No need for names.

[f1bettings]

well you can make your predictions now but obviously after testing people will see who has a good car.

Hamilton looks like he could challenge but the car has to be better this year.

Schumacher has already stated he doesn't have much of a chance of winning the title this year.

Strange words from Schumacher, seeing that he hasn't even turned a wheel of the new car yet. Still, it's said that it's always better to expect little and gain more, rather than the other way around.

[What's Burning?]

For anyone that says Schumacher, I can't understand the dismissal of a team mate that's outscored him twice. If Merc has a car good enough to win, it won't be Schumacher doing the winning.
