Bernie's Pick for 07 World Champion

[Dare]

Felipe Massa and Ferrari will win this year's world titles, according to Bernie Ecclestone.

Massa enters the new F1 season as one of the favourites to win this year's drivers' title after dominating the most recent test sessions in Bahrain.

The Brazilian ensured his F2007 finished fastest on four of the six days, and even set a new lap record at the Sakhir track on the final day of testing.

His performances have led to many predicting that Massa, and not his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, could be the man who wins the titles for Ferrari this season. And Ecclestone is one of those believers.

Asked by the Bild newspaper who will win this year, the F1 supremo said: "Massa and Ferrari.

"Ferrari appear to be really strong and they'll be in front at first."

And according to Ecclestone, Massa's campaign could be given a welcome boost by the backing of his former team-mate Michael Schumacher.

"Schumacher was already a sort of 'team manager' in the past. He'll be a big help for Massa this year," the 76-year-old added.
