F1 - new beginning

Looking forward to the action...

Looks like merc already have an advantage - they're using wind-up power to supplement the hybrid system... check out the big winder key sticking out the back...

Yes will defo be watching the highlights,
But Moto gp is in a different league for action and excitement,not to mention the passion for riding.
And I cant even ride a bike,nearly totalled my Raleigh grifter once that was enough for me :D

Doubt I will be following it much, its not about the driver anymore so have lost interest, prefer Touring Cars as much as anything.

Whether its touring cars or gp I think the point is we enjoy the actual racing and F1 has lost a lot of that,the wheel to wheel action is what its about.
Apart from the Isle of Man, their just psychos .but have nothing but my utmost respect :thumbsup:

Well so far so good. No big shake up faster cars, but they were not slow before. Looking forward to the race. Will there be any overtaking?

I had to laugh while listening to the radio today, the F1 advert said "the cars will be faster this year, with louder engines and wider tyres" :rofl: :rofl:

Even after the rule changes, and car upgrades. It's still the same three teams at the front. :thumbsdown:

Let's hope the race is better.
