It's funny how these patterns go. There's one top team that's hardly been picked but its drivers have been loads, and then another where the drivers have hardly been picked but the car quite a few times. And there's another top team that's barely been picked along with it's main driver
There's definitely some big potential points to be made yet

Regarding the obvious mention of Ferrari drivers being chosen frequently but not the team, well I think that's because from my brief analysis of the points system, a good scoring (i.e. winning/top 3) driver is easily going to outscore the equivalent positions from either chassis or engine (even taking into account their multiple scorings). And so I don't think people are thinking Ferrari will do poorly this year - quite the opposite - but it makes sense to bag the drivers instead.
Of course I've flown in the face of such logic by ignoring Alonso or Massa when had the chance and have gone with Button! But for one, if you want to win you need to take risks and not just do what everyone else does, and two, in keeping with the selecting good drivers over chassis/engine logic, I wanted to have a solid second driver too. Still Massa over Button could have been a wise choice... we'll just have to see! That's why it's all so exciting!!! Anyway my logic with selecting Button was on the positions gained bonus; Button is someone who may not always qualify right up front this year but with his solid race performance and driving style, he could well consistently make up places in the race and thus perhaps even outscore the winner...
