F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has tipped Ferrari's Felipe Massa to clinch the 2007 championship after stepping out of Michael Schumacher's shadow. The Brazilian has been in untouchable form during winter testing and even new team mate Raikkonen has struggled to match him.
"Ferrari appear to be really strong and they'll be in front at first," Ecclestone told the Bild newspaper.
When asked who he tipped for championship victory he said, "Massa and Ferrari."
