If we look just at statistics looks like Kimi and Ferrari is a good combination, but there are other F1 talents. We have just to look at Alonso the 2times champion drive for another team who have good results on Melbourne and we can count in the young driver Hamilton, almost the champion of last season.
There are more f1 drivers, I mention just them because I think Kimi love the champion position and want this year again, Alonso want to prove that last year at McLaren was a mistake and Hamilton knew that if he would been more focused last season could won it. This 3 drivers I think will fight for this year title.
