With only 4 weekends now to go, personally, I can't wait for it all to kick off again. Hoping that all new the rules & reg's will add some more excitement to the proceedings.
Hamilton defending his crown, F1 back on BBC (no fecking adverts, thank god), Murray Walker's making a come-back (and why hasn't he been knighted yet?), and it's been confirmed the BBC are gonna re-use Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' as the intro tune.
WIN!
I am hoping Hamilton again, would like to see Alonso win a few more races and push for the title!
Masa should be up there to!
Kind of lost ineterst in F1 but saying that.
BBC so no adverts
Murray Walker!!!!
The original music??
OHHHH god F1 the new porn!

But here is roughly what the BBC will be using

Looking forward to the new season
the race is on to see who can get a lithium battery to the other side of the world in 4 weeks without using a plane..
Give it to Michael Palin.Originally Posted by Andrew Cooke
I've seen the shorter version of that, but not that extra bit on the end where the mechanic lamps the boarding
In fairness to Ferrari though, Hamilton WAS fecking lucky to pull that out the bag on the closing lap(s), but hey, that's old news, and it's all about this season now.
Lithium not sourceable in Oz then Andy?
there's a bit more to it that dropping a block of lithium into the tank and proclaiming the job a goodun
I gathered thatI meant can't it be sourced/produced to whatever fitment is required locally?
sourcing the parts locally would be a similar level of challenge to building the engine out of locally sourced parts - so noI gathered that
I'll keep my money on McLaren then...
same as every year then...I'll keep my money on McLaren then...
funnily enough they don't make batteries out of wallaby poo either
I backed Renault (and Alonso) in '05.
Looks like the ex-Honda team will make a return. Button and either Barichello or Senna. Here's hoping, just to keep the mix if nothing else.
BS F1
Button must be the WORST F1 driver ever give his seat to paul Di Resta i say, gutted theres no more Coulthard either was starting to get quite funny watching someone take him out every week
I think the bmws will go well this season. The engines have to last that bit longer and the bmws in 2008 were fault less engine wise. Vettel will be up there among the top three
It's hard to know how it's all going to pan out with so many new rule changes.
It seems all the cars are pretty close judging my the testing times. I'd say Kubica and Vettel are the 2 drivers to watch aswell as the usual suspects in Hamilton, Massa and Alonso etc.
be nice to see honda getting somewhere but with button behind the wheel it aint looking great,
hamilton again for this year keep with the brits

WIN!
As for the new rules and regs, who knowsthe last few seasons have seen some good scraps i just hope race results wont be spoiled by post race investigations and the like.
Bring it on
I think they should change F1 completely so it goes more like this

button is a good very clean and tidy driver he just lacks skill in the car development areas

Latest word on the grapevine is that (ex)Honda are confirmed for this year's F1 championship. Looks like Ross Brawn, to name one, has bought them out as such, and they're gonna be known as Brawn GP.
You read it here first
Edit.
They're gonna be running Mercedes engines, and Jenson & Rubens are confirmed as the drivers. Whether Rubens stays for the whole season though is another story...

I was thinking about putting some money on Fernando to win the drivers championship, just looked at the odds, I think I'll save my money.
Well I don't see anyone else confirming it Cooke
lets just say, had it been better than 10:1 I'd have put a hundred on it, as it is the odds are around 5:1. Things are looking reasonable, the car is there, or there abouts...Well I don't see anyone else confirming it Cooke
just seen this on another forum and thought id share.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiLoANg6nNY
hey Mart, did you put any money on Jenson, or are you still holding out for Lewis?
Brawn GP look good in testing
Aye, a lot of cheating can go on in testing, and for various reasons
Only the race weekend will be able to tell us whether Brawn are as fast as it appears.
No bets placed yet mate. He looks a good bet though...
In another twist to this year's new rules & reg's, it looks like the driver's title will go to the driver who has the most wins throughout the season, and not his total tally of points.
If per chance 2 or more drivers finish with the same number of wins, it'll then be decided on points tally a la the old fashioned way.
The rest of the standings, from second to last place, will be decided by the current/old points system with the constructors' championship unaffected.
If this rule had been in place last year, Massa would've been crowned champion.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure this is a good move by the FIA...
I don't like the idea of the driver winning the most races becoming champion, just because of that fact
Interestingly, Mansell would have won it 3 times!
U know why thier doing this, its cus they didn't want Lewis Hamilton to be the champ, it wouldn't be the first time the've done something to try and stop him
looking forward to this new season
F1 at the BBC
Murray Walker
Some very very posative performances in testing from the likes of renault and BMW and also Redbull will possible make things interesting if the top teams like ferrari and Mclaren arnt holding things back
Kers system should make for more overtaking oppurtunities/action
Points system for the world championship title scrapped, now this is in my honest opinion a great move. There will be less relianse on just good pit stop stratergy and being able to play it safe and come 2nd because you know you have a points cushion, this will make the front running alot more about the racing then it has been in previous years. (yes i do mean racing and not just driving)
honda - Brawn F1 - shame that young senna isnt getting a seat really it is, he showed great promise and barrachello is past it now he needs to step out of the way, hes the most experienced driver on the grid and not won more then a handful of races.
Button is a good driver but needs to sort his shizzle out! he should have a shave and focus on driving and not looking like a noncy nonce
all in all iam looking forward to it!
Mart, where are you getting this bleeding edge information from, the BBC website?
Just ribbing mate
I don't think the wins = prizes introduction will bother McLaren this year given their admission of being way off the pace. They were something like two seconds behind the Brawn cars in testing the other day and those guys had only been driving them for four days, lol.
I think honda have been a bit clever last year with taking the car out of development for that season and concentrating on this coming season! As shown they have made such great steps forward to this year, i am still all for Mclaren but cant wait to see Honda, Red Bull & Torra Rosso be up there scaring the pants of Mclaren and Ferra*spat*
Contacts my friendMart, where are you getting this bleeding edge information from, the BBC website?

Don't read too much into the pre-season testing times. Team Brawn might be one to watch for sure, and I wouldn't rule out a win for Jenson in Oz, but then I wouldn't write-off the silver bullets just yet either...
Are these the same contacts that told you petrol would be sub 80p per litre come Feb 09?
YOU GEEZA
no there the same contacts that spoted that the blitz boost control group buy was gonna go tits upAre these the same contacts that told you petrol would be sub 80p per litre come Feb 09?
YOU GEEZA
no matter how much i want them to be doing well Mclaren are struggling, Hamilton is very unhappy in the pits during testing, had a hissy fit last week because he was being beaten on pace by barrachelo!!
This is insider info. ^^ but also the same source is saying dont count them out just yet as they arnt running the full race setup they are spending alot of focus time on individual parts of the car and working strongly to be hitting the first race with the KERS system.
If they get all this together and KERS by the first race they will be very very strong contenders!
As for Brawn GP they are driving a car that was being developed heavily about 3 months in to last season, honda refocused there developement budget very quickly last year after a really really poor start to the season so yes expect them to do well.
Dont rule out vettell in the red bull very good driver, also alsono is gonna be upsetting the front runners again the renault is the ugliest car on the grid but its quick, and the BMW's are both faster then the mclarens and in many testing sessions faster then everyone!
ohhhh boy, if testing is anything to go by this season is gonna be a good one!
