#2 Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)

Since joining Ferrari, there has been an air of inevitability over Sebastian Vettel's next Championship win, but that hasn't quite materialized just yet. But it's fair to say that it sure looked like this was his year after a very strong start to the campaign.
After winning in Australia and Bahrain, it appeared as though Ferrari would open up a huge lead at the top of the standings buoyed by the pace of their car and the obvious skill of Vettel. But silly mistakes on the part of the German somewhat stalled that momentum even though a victory for the former Champion at Silverstone was something to be proud of.
Nonetheless, Vettel has emerged much stronger this year as compared to last season, and in a fast car, he has the added push he needs to go all the way. Will he do it? Only time will tell.
