Formula one interests me simply for the outright pace the cars have from point to point, sadly when one car is following another the aero comes into play and it does always seem to give the leader a HUGE advantage, lets hope with the new changes this year we will see more overtakes but I suspect that the only reason it will be a close season is down to reliabilty of the cars.

Hamilton had 3 DNF’s in a row last year and possibly could of won had things of gone better, Vettel had loads of problems the year Brawn GP walked it and so handed the World Championship to them.

Rules are rules but the fact it wasn’t “that” safe back in the day was what made for good racing, if you now make two moves on a straight you will be punished! whats that all about ?

All motorsport has been tamed down over the years, I own a ex British Thundersaloon that was effectively banned for being too different which I heard lost the owner the best of 50k back in 1993 ! Rallycross is still nuts but again they have tamed that down somewhat over the years but its still very exciting to watch. F1 needs less grip, more power and some rules that allow the drivers to take a few more chances without being punished.

Anyway back on topic and as I don’t think its been mentioned who do we think will win it this year ?

For me I’m sticking with Lewis, he is without doubt gifted and also has a fantastic team behind him. I hope Kobyashi can shine this year as although he isn’t a front runner he does seem to be involved with most of the better racing these days.

Roll on next weekend 😎
