Any F1 fans? Looking forward to see what this season brings. The Ferraris are looking really good, but the Mclarens are still struggling with the Honda engine.

Looking forward to it. As an Englishman I'm a fan of Lewis Hamilton but looking at pre season practice Mercedes are going to have to fight off Ferrari next season.

I find Formula 1 on the telly to be an insomniacs dream (is that an oxymoron?).
The only question I have about it is why the Stig isn't in it? He's supposed to be good at driving fast in one of those white boiler suits and crash hat isn't he? :confused:

It looks like it will be good scrap this season if Ferrari keep up the improvement. 2 world champions in competitive cars for a change, it just might come down to who the best driver/racer is again.

Nobody knows a lot about it Abs. It was run in China in the middle of the night and by the time we were getting up in England it was all over. From what I was able to gather Hamilton was on pole and Vettel on the front row with him. Hamilton made the best start and went on to win.
I hope that this year the best driver wins instead of it being decided because one car was more reliable than the other. Last year Rosberg won it by default and it was obvious to everyone that Hamilton was the better driver. It's significant that Rosberg immediately retired before he could be proven to be second best this year. He didn't want to be beaten by the better driver.

Seems a nice bloke that Rosberg. I was glad he won last year cos Hamilton seems to have an edge to him that I can't take to. As for Rosberg retiring he'll be wealthy enough to do so now and he and his family might have decided that family life is worth more than risking ones life on a racetrack for the next half dozen years.
