Formula 1 title number two? Not so fast, Mr Raikkonen

Can anyone prevent Kimi Raikkonen from picking up his next title? For starters, it is a question that has perhaps been asked far too early in the season - but the answer is emphatically YES.

True, Ferrari has had the answers to all the questions posed by other teams on track, but Formula One has seen far too many dramatic seasons in the past for any driver to take his opponents lying down - particularly so early into the season.

Raikkonen is certainly quick, sharp and has the ability to pull off stunning overtaking manouevres – a characteristic that gives him a distinct edge over Felipe Massa, who relies too heavily on pole positions and leading from the start to win races.

But who are the challengers who can ruin the season for the Flying Finn?
