I think the imagine thing is slowly being worked on :s

Welcome back now you've got in :)

Thanks. Just glad Merc have crushed everyone else with their mileage. As long as they can get to the end of the first ten races on the podium I believe they've got it in the bag.... just a matter of Lewis' bag or Nico's .. lol =)

Hopefully with a nice battle with the McLarens and Williams though. Force India can play occasionally :)
 
Williams as I have said before look like they have gathered their **** together and are not messing about with it. A number of technical signings, Bottas is quite a serious fella and Massa experienced. Dark horses, which is better than the hopeless mules of 2013. A few podiums?

Force India look handy. But as we always say... it's only testing!!

I am still unsure about Mclaren for some reason.

I would say McLaren are most likely to be fighting based on the FIRST two days of testing.... have to wait and see the big picture by the end of Bahrain tests to be a bit clearer though. Lovin the Renault problems though as maybe .. just maybe that holds Red Bull back this season.
 
As long as Mercedes dominates I don't care which driver wins the WDC.

Hilarious picture btw, Vettel trying to get into the Ferrari:
...

As long as Lewis dominates I don't care which Mercedes win the WCC. =P

P.S. Still can't see the image... is showing up as three dots.
 
We shouldn't rule out Ferrari especially with Alonso at the wheel. I think they're doing reasonably well too with their car, and if their wind tunnel is working then their development during the season will be stronger than it has been in previous years. It could be a Mclaren vs Mercedes vs Ferrari battle this season.
 
Kimmeh will be advantageous in times that bursts of raw speed are needed. Alonso on the other hand in changing conditions and long run consistent pace.
 
He admitted himself that they should have put their efforts into 2014 earlier than they did last year. They have themselves partly to blame for this if it goes balls up. The next 2 days are crucial for them and Renault to get things right.
