Fast: Agree, the top four, Ferrari (impressive in long runs), McLaren (a few great short stints, more uncertain in long runs), Red Bull (also a few quick short stints, more irregular in long runs and poor reliability...again), Mercedes because of the team experience, budget, Schumacher... should be there. A little bit of unknown yet if they are really there, though.
Quick but...: Williams, Toro Rosso and Sauber, probably running light, I guess.
Slow: Force India and Renault...is tumbling down the hill, honestly. Ugly car (in looks to simple, honestly...and those mixture of colours!...). Also the newcomers.

Not yet, we´ll see. So far very little can be said.

Yes so far. Lewis has not been spectacular anyway and recent Jenson´s resulta have been quite good.

Alonso has had some impressive long runs that we have not seen in Massa, but he has been favoured by the weather, specially the second test in Jerez, that was miserable for Massa.

Intrinsecally quick (they have had a few quick but short stints) but highly unreliable...and I really think the Renault engine is one step behind Ferrari and Mercedes...

No.

He´s not a rookie and that will depend a lot on what that car can deliver. So far both drivers have been fast but the limited budget and lack of evolution (and the real ultimate pace once in competition) can make a big difference on the final impression.

So my bet would be...
1. Alonso
2. Hamilton
3. Vettel / Schumacher / Massa
6. Button / Rosberg / Webber
Last team : Campos, no doubt
Surprise: Lotus can do a serious job
