Honda are losing out to Force India. The only way is up to be frank.

But I hope to see Williams up there. But were can they be when all the other teams show much more promise. I hope to see Williams winning again, but I don't how look we'll have to wait, and I don't think that rosberg should wait much longer.

From where they are now and with the time and money they have invested in 2009, you would have to say Honda. If they don't make significant gains next season, something is terminally wrong. I'm getting fed up with these Japanese misfits - sorry, outfits.

Renault, if they keep Alonso and make their car as good as it is right now...

I think Honda will improve mainly because of the new aero rules but I reckon Red Bull Racing will improve massively because of the development that Vettel will bring.

I will say Honda due to their joke season 2008!
Then again, Sauber&Kubica could be a dangerous combination next year.
Vettel is also a big question mark!!!!!

But like I said, Honda is my guess.........

I've gone for Williams as most of their problems in recent years have been Aero related going back to mechanical grip can only make them jump up the grid - PLEASE?!

Totally agree with that, if the aero problem with the FW30 that Patrick Head had diagnosed hadn't been there along with the balance struggle between development of the FW30 and the FW31, I reckon Williams will have had 4th place sewn up by now and Rosberg might have even won a race.

The pace of the car at Monza and Canada with low downforce bodes well for next year expecially as there was no report of the car understeering through the parabolica.

It was a toss-up between Honda and Red Bull for me - I picked Honda because of genius Brawn and because aero (i.e., AN at Red Bull) will have a slightly less important role and despite the realistic possibility of SV bringing a sizable speed boost to Red Bull.

BMW Sauber, Williams and Renault will probably make some big steps, though I wouldn't be too surprised if Force India lifted themselves off the back of the grid, either. :)

Honda must be the one that will make the most improvement, they can't do any worse than this year. Lots of money, Ross Brawn and early focus on 2009 should give some good results.

Now here's a bit of a poser for everyone... which team could fall the most backwards? Now that's a tricky one, but I guess it could be Toro Rosso due to the rules on customer cars for next year.

I thought those rules were for 2010, actually.

The biggest move backwards is more likely to be one of the top two than any other, really, though I don't see that happening.

And I reckon probably Toyota too as their car has good aero but they've never been able to crack mechanical grip and it rides over the kerbs of Montreal and Monza badly.
