2010 Formula 1 Championship

XabbaRus · 02-02-10, 04:55 PM

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.

I recently began watching F1. The Speed channel here shows the races from the 2009 season. I have watched 5 or 6 of them, the last of which saw Rubens Barrichello win in Valencia Spain I believe.

I am really enjoying watching F1, but find the lack of info about it here in America dissapointing.

Can any of you recommend some links or news sources I can go to so I can follow F1 better? I would like to see the new cars with all these rule changes and also had no idea on some of the driver moves (Button no longer at Brawn GP?)

I am looking forward to this upcoming season.

You can start with the official f1 web site:

Looks like this season will be good, more teams, no rules conflicts.

10 days to the start of season 2010!

I've been looking forward to it since the last race in 2009. I haven't missed a race since San Marino's Grand Prix 2005.
