I expect Hamilton or Raikkonen will win this. Hamilton must be favourite.

I hope Hamilton wins but i Ferrari have THE car, yes it struggled early doors but i do epxect it to perform better.

The Sauber BMW team did really well, very surprised about that.

I think that there's a chance that F1 might get a bit more interesting given that driver aids have been taken away. I only really started to get into it because of the utter brilliance of Mansell.

When I was a kid there was a curious fascination with it because someone would crash and burn 'live' in almost every race.

It's going to be a challenge for these guys this year with them no longer having driver aids.

The power of an F1 car is pretty savage and this can only make it more difficult for the drivers. It will be a real test of concentration and skill.

I've never been to an F1 race but I've watched some young lads going round Oulton Park in the Formula Renaults and they're absoloutly flying and Formula Renault is nowhere near as quick as F1. You don't realise just how fast they're going until you're watching a race in the flesh, and then you watch F1 on TV and it makes you think how talented they are. They make it look so easy.

Ok im not really into this sport

But would it not be fair to say that Alonso has effectively ruled himself out of the championship race by joining Renault?? Sure he cant compete in a Renault?

Which means it will end up between Hamilton (McLaren) and Raikonnen (Ferrari)

Surely nobody else has a chance against those 2 cars consistantly over a season??

Correct???

I posted after last years finale that I thought Hamilton would wipe the floor with everyone this year and I still believe that. The race was good I thought, certainly better than previous seasons, ill keep watching this season and I do hope that Hamilton wins the championship. I just hope someone pushes him so that we get good entertainment all season. It could be one sided I fear.

[Darth Marty]

p.s -correct.

So its settled then. Nobody can compete with Hamilton and his supercar. Raikonnen only won last year because Alonso provided the extra compitition to keep Hamilton out

Hamilton wins the Championship barring Injury

Raikonnen won as he is widely acknowledged to be the fastest driver in F1

I remember hearing that at every level he's raced at he's won the competition in the year after his debut. Not sure if this is correct but it's one hell of an omen.
