Can't wait for the season opener in Melbourne on Sunday.
Hamilton quoted as saying Ferrari are the front runners...

I just hope that there is more wheel to wheel action and it is not just a Mercedes procession.
Although I am a Hamilton fan!

Mercs sandbagging as usual I fear.....I still find it interesting, if only from a technical point of view. One set of rules is announced for all; one (or two) teams get it right and everyone complains....!

+1 (to Banbury!) ... but am now a Verstappen fan having seen him win in Barcelona last year!

EDIT: Here he is - being chased by Raikkonen. A great circuit with the added bonus of Barcelona so you can make it your summer holiday! 1000 times better than Silverstone.

Lost interest in F1 when It went to Sky. So big yawn for me.

Hamilton fan myself but hoping for some competition this season - which remains to be seen. Verstappen a huge talent but will he find the new 'lairy' cars too physical? And such a shame Alonso won't be seen again this year- except on another deckchair. Barcelona must be even better when the Spanish have something to celebrate.

Just about to book for the 6 Hours at Silverstone. Got to cheer on those Porkers! :D

@Guy. It was a great race in Barcelona. Showcased Verstappen's talent.
Although wondered why the beer tasted strange and realized it was all alcohol free...

Let's hope its close. We need the younger generation taking an interest. Hooefully the new owners of F1 will attract a wider fan base and reduce gate prices.

Come on H-A-M-I-L-T-O-N!

Just watching some of the classic car racing from Goodwood. Very entertaining.

Me too, Simon. Love the old stuff - it just such fun to watch cars head to head and being thrown around. Ive never been to a WEC before so hoping for the best. Tickets a good deal courtesy of POC.
