after 3 days of testing I'm more convinced than ever that McLaren decided to scrap 2013 and start work on 2014 before 2012 was over.
Me and Iceman reckon Kevin might go one better actually. McLaren replaced Perez for a reason and I think they saw it was stupid for Kevin not to drive. Seb's record is under threat IMO.

I think Magnussen will be more impressive than Hamilton was in 2007, I think he'll have the raw pace Lewis had and more maturity with it. I don't think he'll be in a position to compete for the championship though, I'm hoping he can win a race or two. Looking forward to seeing what Kvyat can do as well, the two most exciting rookies since 2007 are on the grid this year in my opinion.
I hope we don't big him up only to find him average He certainly looks good and although Button will probably edge him at the start, I think Magnussen will finish the season ahead, probably in the top 5 minimum.
Kevin is by far the most consistent + very fast, pre-F1 driver I have ever seen at the age of 21 when I was watching him last season. This against the likes of Vandoorne and Da Costa who are also known to be very fast.

We all mocked Chilton last year but he's going to get the last laugh. A season's practice of slow and steady, he knew what 2014 was going to be like! He's already passed the Red Bull, who can stand in his way!!!
Yeah, been a while since two new guys have been given a real chance to shine in their debut seasons. Which one will be Lewis and which one Heikki?
For me it's more of the rear of that mclaren is what seals the deal for me and Jensons dad passing away which makes him more vulnerable.
