not sure there performance will be that great at least until mid season.  good to see 20 cars will be on the grid though.  rumours of Button taking a 50% pay cut to stay on the grid.  only 4million then :s

Even if they have suffered this pre-season they'll find it hard to be worse than last year

I am not going to watch F1 this season.

It has gone down the pan.

Piss off, I reckon this season will be the best in a long while, woth all the changes to the regulations it should (hopefully) be a bit more of a fight, the cars are so say a lot harder to drive so hopefully we'll see massa spin a lot more (silverstone last year? ) and I reckon the beemers, toyota and the cheese eating surrender monkeys (aka renault) will be closer to the front two.

Plus its on bbc1.

Plus it means itv can't fuck it up any more.

Plus "the chain" is back

And it's the original "the chain", not some shitty "09 remix" as I feared.

I was initially pissed off that F1 seems to be removing itself from "the best  of the best" ethos in the name of cost cutting/better racing". But the recession has now made it absolutely critical to do this in the name of survival of the sport.

Bring it on .
