Ferrari

Ferrari starts the season as reigning constructors' champion but, with Felipe Massa having been pipped to last year's driver's crown, there is a feeling at this team of seeking to make amends. Several errors cost the team in the fight with McLaren, and getting on top of those issues will be key in any title battle this year.

Team chief Stefano Domenicalli kept Ferrari together through the difficult times, and his stewardship has given the team a more welcoming atmosphere. Now, though, he must prove that nice guys can win when the pressure is on.
