2010 Formula 1 Championship

Second day of winter testing is over, a half dozen of the teams showing their new cars. Post comments and thoughts here.

Massa top dog so far but no one knows the fuel loads.

Mercedes pretty good as are McLaren and Williams. Sauber a surprise too.

Looks close, hopefully it will stay that way.

I think the VR car looks the best and I love the new "old" livery on the renaults.

Schumi's going to be good, I hope, because Hamilton and Vettel are going to need the competition. Not a fan of Alonso after the Singapore fiasco.

Hopefully, the new rules will keep the competition tighter.

I'm thinking Mercedes might have a good season if Schumacher is fit and hungry enough to go for more success/glory.

Not convinced the car is good enough though.

Already discounted Button at Maclaren on the grounds that lightning probably won't hit the same spot twice.

I really don't think that Schumi would have returned if he didn't think he could "hang" with last year's top drivers. Also, I'm of the firm belief that Schumi at 99.8% is equal too, if not better than, the rest of the drivers.

I think Vettel is an amazing raw talent and he'll do really well as long as he gets a competitive car.

With regards to Mercedes: It may not be good enough at Bahrain, but rest assured that Mercedes will do anything/everything in their power to make it competitive after a few races. Mercedes has a stellar race history and I'm sure they wouldn't want to tarnish that with lackluster appearances.

The car really won button the championship last year. If he was in any other car he wouldn't have made the points he needed at the start of the season.

I will be supporting:
Schumi, Vettel, and maybe Hamilton (but his big bling earring kind of turns me off) although he is an exciting driver.

I also would like to see Massa do well.

Sekure knows.
I wonder how fit Schuchamer will be. But i'm sure too that he returned because he is confident about being on top. I dont see Schumacher doing shame.

I think Ferrari will take it this year, with Alonso.

Going to let this sink now till next year.

Rise of the dead!

Schumi did not had just one almost fatal accident in the last race this years, but - accidents as a result or not - produced very many driving and breaking errors. He is not the same anymore, I assume the feeling of the new cars (due to massive changes in regulations), reflexes and routine have detoriated too much. I do not expect him to ever become competitive for the top again, sorry. He made too many personal mistakes this year, and I take that as an indicator until he proves me wrong.

So, now you can let it sink to the bottom!
