Have we got many F1 fans on here looking forward to the new season, and who do you think will be champion
I am tipping Nico Rosberg to be the next world champion
 
Definitely going for Mercedes, but probably Hamilton to edge it.

Off to Spa on my birthday in August. :grin:
 
Big fan here. Unashamed Hamilton fan. Love the way he drives and all his aggression. Up early to watch qualifying this morning, but won't say anything more for fear of ruining the surprise for those waiting for BBC highlights.
 
Hamiltons dad grew up with mine.

They didnt really know each other well but were at the same school together i believe...

And no, its not name dropping. i dont claim t know him or his dad.

21 Romain Grosjean Lotus 1:36.993
22 Pastor Maldonado Lotus No time

Interesting to see the two Lotus's at the bottom of the pile as they had good cars last season, Uncle Tony will be pleased with a Caterham sitting in 15th spot, a slight improvement.

Jenson had a disappointing session starting 11th while the other McLaren driven by Kevin Magnussen in at 4th.

Interesting to also see Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 2nd out qualifying world champ Sebastian Vettel Red Bull in 13th.

Looks like we will have an interesting race tomorrow, I'm sure a few cars will retire too.

Good thread btw. I will have to see a couple of races before I can make a proper prediction, we need to see what the reliability's like on these new cars. At this early stage I'd go for Lewis.
 
I'm going for Rosberg aswell this year. Will be at Penang for the Malaysian GP this month, wearing my Rangers shirt also cheering on Caterham.
 
Jokes aside hope they give a good show.

Good start from qualifying and who knows what kamui Kobyashi can do......
