    Both marussia drivers think they will be scoring regularly this year. The team must believe they have made the jump and I think they will be right

    Bianchi, so I can't vote.

    I think Marussia will be at least midfield this season. So he should be scoring quite a lot.

    I reckon Bianchi might nick a point if reliability is as poor as people are expecting. The other 3 will need a miracle.

    Kamui when he gets a seat back at a vaguely good team.

    That Binachi sounds like a bad bet. Must be in the gravel a lot..........

    Soz being pedantic.


    Bianchi must be the one, unless you believe the tortoise and the hare fairy tale........

    Gary Anderson said in Autosport magazine that the Marussia looked good on track in Bianchi's hands. At the moment the car looks a bit underdeveloped but even if they don't have the outright speed, reliability could help them score points.





    EDIT: What GA said was: "The car is neat, tidy and simple and the team is delighted with the contribution Ferrari has made. Effectively, this is the real start for Marussia an everything is coming together. The car looked good from trackside. Jules Bianchi was able to lean on it during Friday. There are still plenty of parts to come, so the team can go to the next test ready to start exploring the performance of the car"

    Compared to Caterham: "Of all the Renault-powered cars, Caterham managed the most running. But it wasn't at competitive speeds - just to put some laps in. But as a small team that's a good achievement. The car doesn't look great and from what you can see on track, it doesn't have an abundance of grip. However, in the damp there were times when it looked OK"

    After watching them since their debut back in 2010, I think we would all be happy if one of the bottom teams finally made that transition into the midfield. Would be class.

    Marussia have the best hope. A pairing of a fast driver and a bring the car home driver, covers both bases really :)

    I'm going for Max!

    Two reasons:

    1) He is reliability and consistency king. Get it to the finish and you never know this year.
    2) If I am wrong, no-one will be surprised. If I am right, I will look more intelligent than I actually am!

    I wouldn't be surprised if he did it and in doing so lapped Vettel, the engines are such an unknown quantity, if Ferrari have done it right Chilton could end up as Britains number 1.

    egg on face time except for the two smart enough to realise that it's almost as if nothing has happened for the guys at the back.
