Well guys - i guess you could say i'm into F1 what with working in it

Jenson and Rubens have both put in some fantastic times during testing, in fact we've topped the timesheets on a couple of days and virtually always been in the top five.

I really think that Honda might be giving McLaren, Ferrari and Renault a good run for their money.

The car's are not that different to last years spec, even with the V8's they don't sound 'that' different...

I personally think it's going to be the start of F1 becoming interesting again, last year showed that Ferrari don't dominate any more...

Bahrain's just over a month away now - i can't wait to see our boys mix it up and make some people do a double take

The GP Masters is full of old codgers tho, they will mirror, signal, then overtake, being very cautious all the way

Actually scratch that, old codgers just pull out and believe that cause they've been driving years it's their right of way at all times and they can do no wrong

IMO, Renault or Ferrari will win/run away with it.

And IMO Jenson is no where near as good driver as Ruebens and he will be in for a shock

Jenson has what all the great drivers have. The ability to lap consistently fast. Lap after lap with in a tenth of a second, thats what makes a great GP driver. Give him the equipment to do the job and he'll get it done

I saw him overtake Schuey a few times last year, some when Shuey let him and some where he just MADE shuey move......cant recall Reubens doing that many times over the last 7 years.

I think renault will still be the team to beat, ferrari will be a lot closer mainly down to bridgestone being back to form. Mclaren seemed to have gone backwards a bit during the winter as their mercedes V8 doesn't seem to be very reliable. Honda now have a stronger driver line up and Red Bull now have Adrian Newey and ferrari engines so they could be going well.

I think it will be an interesting season this year and a lot closer but i am very interested to see how Massa gets on against M Schumacher, i think he'll be a lot closer then many people think.

Don't think I watched a single F1 race last year.

MotoGP/WSB/BSB/Touring car & rallying all a hundred times more interesting imo

martin brundle always comments on how smooth jenson is with his driving and constant equal lap times so yeh i agree a very strong bet hell do well

My predictions. So I'll check these at the end of the year.

Constructors
1) Renault
2) Ferrari
3) BAR
Midland will be 11th

Drivers
1) Michael
2) Alonso
3) Kimi
Whoever Satos team mate at Super Aguiri will be last

Surprise of the year?
Williams (Rosberg Jr) or Red Bull (DC) win 1 race

Dis-appointment of the year?
Button will not win a race


McLaren have been having a terrible time with engine failures (again) in testing. So can't see Kimi challenging all season. As said above the tyre rules have changed so Bridgestone will be back on it this year.
