I am crossing my fingers that BGP does win this race... the most ironic part would be that way back when Honda re-entered F1 (since the 60's as I have been told 
) with BAR, they were making so much noise about winning their first race? They didn't even come close to scoring pole, let alone winning it!
And now what... 9 years later... the calm and quiet Brawn is on the verge of doing that with his own GP team! Did you all see how cool and calm Brawn was at the pitwall monitors when they got the first row locked up?? Now, THAT is a professional racing man who knows his stuff!!!

Not sure why the Honda fans are cheering for BrawnGP? 
As soon as Honda pulled out, the same manpower built a competitve chasis with a German powerplant.
It was probably Honda's beuracracy dogging the entire team.
Kimi and RB will be in the top three, not sure about the rest.
Vettel could be the suprise of the season.

Say you were a Yankees fan and Derek Jeter gets traded to the Boston Red Sox....and you love Derek Jeter as a player, but you grew up a Yankees fan....you mean to tell me you are going to start routing for the Red Sox? **** NO you are not. In fact, you will wish Derek Jeter to have a piss poor career with the Sox and for the Yankees to win the title.
This chassis was a Honda designed chassis....as it was designed under their banner at the time with the same people in place now at Brawn. Nothing changed except the name. In fact, Honda is still paying them money, its just no longer powered by their engine. So if anything....its a Honda powered by Mercedes chassis if you want to get down to it.
As for Ferrari....what planet are you on? Did you watch testing and qualifying? Ferrari isn't even the 5th fastest team, how will they get in the top 3, if there are no crashes or mechanical retirements at the front.

I think Barrichello could be one to watch for the title this year if brawn stays on top but I'll be cheering for button too
I will be watching for Kimi, Massa, Alonso, Ham. Developments down the grid will be coming soon.

OH GREAT.....it seems that a few more folks have drunk the "Kool-Aid"! 
On a side note, in support of Honda, they funded and built the chassis....
