Team: McLaren
Driver: Raikkonen
I tend to favor the drivers over the teams though, so I guess I'll be a Ferrari fan next year. If Lewis Hamilton joins McLaren next season, I'll be split between the two teams. Whoever said Webber was overrated and Nico was faster is wrong. Button on the other hand IS overrated but I think he's very consistent.

Williams had already been in decline before the BMW engines showed up, not coincidentally around the time that Newey left, and having the BMW motor actually improved their fortunes. At least they were able to actually win races with the BMW engine, something that the Toyota hasn't proven to be able to do (yet). It's hard to tell what the problem has been with Williams the last three or four years, including this one, as BMW blames Williams and Williams blames BMW. 
I dunno if I can be a faithful fan of the Williams squad with their new motors... I prefer to wear my old 2000-vintage blue-and-white Williams-BMW hat with the RS logo on the back. Williams-Toyota doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

My #1 choice in team well I'd have to go old school and say Lotus (Pre '88 of course). Wish they were still around F1 with an Adrian Newey or Gary Anderson type in the place of Chapman. Of the existing electronica era teams, I'd have to say McLaren.
