The new season starts this weekend! New rules, new management, new liveries, new pecking order? We'll have a better understanding come Sunday afternoon (Adelaide time). Top marks for not giving a stuff goes to Force India... got an ugly car for the championship? Paint it pink, and no one will notice! My predictions for the championships are Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull - with it all being very close, I see the Ferraris being fast and fragile, and the Mercs hoovering up the most points due to reliability (and their traditional sandbagging in pre season practice) No hope of winning anything again goes to McLaren. I hope the rumours are true and they walk away from Honda. The glory days of that partnership are way gone.
Cant wait for the new season to start. I am thinking that Mercedes was holding back during testing and practicing. I predict an all Mercedes year as well.
Can't wait either. Looking forward to a great weekend in Barcelona with friends, beers, poker,.... Magnussen will win it all this year
Looking forward to (my prediction a Ferrari / Mercedes) duel for the title. Sadly my driver is still driving a Honda
I'm sure he'll be able to find a deck chair again... Rumours that they have a compartment built into the MCL32 that hold a special carbon fibre stool for just these ocassions has yet to be substantiated. Although paddock gossip has it that Red Bull will protest it at Adelaide...
Supporting Red Bull but I'm afraid they're going to get left behind, I think Ferrari and Mercedes will dominate this season with Hamilton winning the Championship (again)
I'm a huge McLaren Honda and Fernando Alonso fan, things are not great for us at all I'm also a 49ers fan... also not great
Cant wait! I'll be cheering for Vettel as Jenson is sadly no longer on the grid. Not that Mclaren had given me much to cheer for in recent years anyway...
If Ferrari do come out on top as people are predicting may be the case, I'm really hoping Kimi pulls out a blinder of a season and goes out on a high, unlikely but I'd love him to get a second WDC after 10 years.
I would love to see that. My two favorite drivers (Jenson and Nico) are gone so frankly as long as someone wins who isn't named Hamilton I'll be happy. Mercedes dominating was fun for a while but I'm hoping that all the new regs this year will finally bring about a new WDC/WCC.
Yep, looks like a Mercedes/Ferrari/Red Bull fight. As Bottas is on a learning curve I certainly expect Ferrari / Redbull to split the Mercedes drivers. After that it is going to be a very strong development race between the top three during the season. In the midfield Williams look to be slightly ahead and Massa seems to be enjoying the extra mechanical grip. Maclaren-Honda unfortunately are completely lost.
I think Williams also looked quite strong in pre-season, hope Massa will do well in his prolonged last season
Should hopefully be better than recent seasons. The cars look meaner It is sad though that Fernando who in my opinion is the best driver in the world can't get a drive in a car worthy of his supreme skills. Very sad IMHO... Start your engines!!!!!!!!!
Kimi still (imho) holds the title for best reply to an interviewer... Martin Brundle: "You're late to the grid, Kimi - where have you been?" Kimi: "Taking a shit..." Priceless.
Hopefully Bottas is good enough to challenge Hamilton enough that he gets stroppy and gives us some entertainment in interviews ?
Red Bull & Mercedes had to change their suspension concepts thanks to Ferrari: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/128594/mercedesred-bull-had-to-alter-suspension
