    I think the new season will be a lot more physical on the drivers due to regulation changes
    bigger tyres & wings, mean higher corner speed. High grip tyres mean more steering effort.
    Alonso is good driver but maybe past his best.
    I only see 1 winner: Hamilton is strong, fit, young enough and confident fighter for championship.

    I really hope Bottas can challenge Hamilton like Rosberg never could on a consistent basis.

    Verstappen for me. Showed he has the ability last year. Who knows how the cars will compare, but if the red bulls can challenge then I reckon he's got it in him

    Looks like testing is showing that things will be much closer this year. Ferrari seem to have some pace. Mercedes might be sandbagging though!
    It appears Red Bull might be getting it worked out as well.
    Can't wait for Australia.

    Ferrari definitely have pace. I don't think Mercedes are going to have it all their own way and Hamilton doesn't do too well when he hasn't got the fastest car.
    I predict a close season with Vettel pinching the championship at the last race. At least the first three races have had a bit of action to them

    I'm actually more excited from the interviews with Ross Brawn. someone finally in top brass that understands we as fans are bored of the who has the best fuel efficiency wins the race its been for the last few years.. race pace being so much damn slower than qually makes for boring 'races' the drivers arent balls to the wall

    oh, and i want to see more of verstappen in the wet.. blows my mind
