Is Ferrari done in Formula One?

All we see these days is two streaking McLaren - Mercedes machines finishing one-two in F1 races.

It has been all about Lewis Hamilton lately. The McLaren - Mercedes rookie has been winning so many races this 2007 F1 season that the guy is actually being compared to Tiger Woods in terms of dominance in his sport.

Where's Ferrari in this so-called ''Lewis Hamilton'' era? Will these guys from Italy just continue to take the backseat and let the young German sensation have his way on the racetrack? Well, we're definitely close to that with Ferrari slowly being left out in the race for BOTH titles. Obviously, the Italians are worried.

''We are always worried,'' Felipe Massa said. ''We don't like to be behind. When you see our competitors in front, you are always a bit worried. But we need to be together to improve and I trust my team. I know we can do it, I know we have the possibilities to do it.''

''For sure we are not comfortable, that's clear, but we keep working.''

Felipe Massa, now the guy to watch in Ferrari after the somewhat dismal performance from who should've been Schumi's successor, Kimi Raikkonen, vowed that he will close in on the streaking McLaren and catch them in both championship races.

McLaren - Mercedes is currently lording over the constructors' championship standings with 106 points. Ferrari, their closest competitor, only has 71.

In the drivers' championship standings, the two McLaren drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, sit one and two respectively with Hamilton scoring 58 and Alonso with 48.

Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen sit third and fourth with 39 and 32 respectively.

Who will win the F1 drivers championship? Bodog has the odds.

Kimi Raikkonen 7/4

Fernando Alonso 7/4

Lewis Hamilton 9/2

Felipe Massa 5/2
