It's that time of the year again. Any thoughts? Any predictions? Anyone care?

I think the only joy I'll get out of this season is if Rosberg or Kubica win their first race.

[mr.pure]

Yeah, love it.
Shame about last year but hey ho.
Can't remember the chaps name but one of our members writes a little magazine for the Red Bull team and travels with them.

[Lorrie]

Would that be the Red Bulletin? Sweet as.

These first races always kill me. I think Australia starts here at 1am and Malaysia is at 3.

And for some reason I always have to watch the races live, instead of taping.

Last race I didn't watch live was San Marino '94, so it's a bit of a superstition, I guess.

Was it P3ryo who wrote for the Red Bull Mag??

I love the Grand Prix (dunno why because before last season it's been dull as shit!!!!) won't be watching live though!!!!

[mr.pure]

Yeah I normally watch it all live and I missed that sodding race as well.
RIP racing dude.

[cracky]

zwer you and me both mate, thats the only race i didnt watch live in the last 20 years,( i was on holiday ) dare not miss another one just in case,,,,any way its looking like a ferrari one two in australia and then hopefully lewis in third, bring it on, cant wait!!!!

Be nice to see Hamilton hammer them again, I think the way he cares for his family & his bro' is a good touch. Can see it going to the wire again. McLaren all the way for me! Ron Dennis is a f*****g headcase as well, old school hustler!!

[Lorrie]

I don't think I can support any one driver this year. I'm a huge Williams fan so I have high hopes that their car is better sorted and I suppose I want Rosberg to win over the Japanese kid.

I love Alonso (didn't sour on him last year like a lot of other people did), but I have a hard time supporting such an ugly car.

[King of the Farm]

Oh yes!!!

I'm REALLY looking forward to all the races here in the US! It's so crazy how HUGE F-1 is here!!!

Americans Absolutely LOVE it!


oh wait.... nevermind. In the US, F-1 is like Soccer. No one cares

[adidasanth]

^^^^^^^ Is it coz the WORLD Championship includes people from around the world, like the WORLD Cup......unlike the WORLD series in Baseball?

[mr.pure]

Yeah, they'd rather watch identically powered cars go round an oval track 500 times.
Tooooooooooo exciting !
And what a test of a drivers skill.
NOT !

After the emergence of Lewis Hamilton last year I've renewed my interest in F1 after years of boredom due to the dominance of Schumacher and the total lack of any characters in the sport. It should be a really interesting season this year with the new found depth of young drivers but most importantly the removal of traction control. Drivers actually having to drive the cars, whatever next!!!!!

Even though I'll be willing Lewis to win every race I can't see past another title triumph for the Ice Man.

If all the cars are equal powered, as you say, as well as all cars on the same tire and body shape also the same, then what is it BUT a test of driver's skill?

It is a test of drivers skill, but it seems to be a completely different, and infitinitely more boring skillset than that of an F1 driver

Test of a drivers skill?

Putting your foot hard to the floor for 500 laps, only stopping occasionally to run over your pit crew.
