Nice preview of whats to come, cheers.
 
well after getting a glimpse of how the season could pan out, I reckon Mclaren, Red Bull and Mercedes.

Red Bull claimed they had a KERS problem, so I expect them to be right at the top again once thas fixed, and I don't think, like last year Lotus will be able to keep their good form at the start of the season up. Ferrari have had it I think, i thought that they were gunna be able to sort themselves out, but know they're are in a position where their car is a mess it's going to take a long while to completely re shape the car to one thats good enough. I'm pretty sure that Mercedes will be able to keep up the pace they have, but it all goes down to their controversial new rear wing system
 
a 6 for Saubers drivers & 10 for McLarens? absolute nonsense, no doubt union jack coloured glasses were worn, and plenty of Gordons gin drunk, during the creation of that.

I don't think so. Mclaren have two world champions, while Sauber has Perez who has got a lot of potential but is still just a rookie, and Kobayashi who while exciting has never really done anything.

I just went OMFG WTF STFU GTFO FBI GHCQ :emoticon-0104-surpr:biggrin::emoticon-0178-rock::emoticon-0169-dance:emoticon-0137-clapp when I was checking todays news and saw the Header of this article.

"Valentino Rossi to race Ferrari at Monza"
Well, turns out it was something entirely different than what thought :(

crash.net said:
Seven time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi will compete in the opening round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at Monza on 13-15 April at the wheel of a Ferrari.

The Italian will race with the usual #46 on his 458 Italia for the Kessel Racing team in the VR46-Monster colours. He will be partnered by friend Alessio Salucci in the Pro-Am Cup class....

I know that him joining Ferrari F1 will never ever happen, but ever since it was discussed in the media like 10 years ago I never really could get rid of the thought..
