Starts next weekend. Well excited 'bout it. Don't know who'll win, but it's good to have something on sundays again.
ALSO, commentary team of Brundle and Coulthard. Be interesting to see how Brundle copes being 'number one'.

As Bahrain was canceled does that mean it's Melbourne first?

yup, back to a proper seasons start in Australia.
BBC will be carrying F1 in HD for the first time, which is nice.
Looks like Ferrari and Red Bull will be early pacesetters, but if McLaren can tune their radical design properly then it could be interesting.
Not sure what I make of the new regulations, particularly the moveable rear wing which can only be deployed for a certain amount of time provided you are within 1 second of the car in font. Oh, and KERS is back.
On one hand I want F1 to be a sport without such "add ons" to provide more overtaking. On the other the whole science behind aerodynamics means the sport would (probably) be more of a snoozefest without them.

The new tracks such as Valencia and Singapore are boring but you can't beat a bit of Monaco or Spa.

Cant wait. Friday should be fun after being up all night watching practice! Cant see anything other than Red Bull winning comftably, but with all the new regulations and unpredictable tyres, you never know. I am also looking forward to seeing if Brundle and Coulthard works. On one hand I want F1 to be a sport without such "add ons" to provide more overtaking. On the other the whole science behind aerodynamics means the sport would (probably) be more of a snoozefest without them.
I just hope it doesn't make overtaking too easy, just cruise up to the car behind and drive past. Shall be interesting to see how the FIA tweek it throughout the year. |

Valencia wasn't too bad last season when Mark Webber spontaneously decided he'd rather be a pilot than an F1 driver. |

The PL is only slightly less tedious....interestingly, yesterday's 2 squads at Chelsea v Man City cost the most money ever for a football match....499,000,000 GBP. You don't get much bang for your buck these days. |

I'm also glad Brazil is the last race again, because Abu Dhabi, while being an incredible venue, is a terrible track.

Sounds quality, always wanted to go to a race abroad, looking forward to Silverstone this year, hopefully sitting in the new section as it was quality last year even when I just sat there on Saturday.

Meh, waiting for the first weekend of April, the British Touring Cars at Brands Hatch. Going to the third round st Thruxton, I do wish there were more South-west-ish circuits...
