I think a lot will be learned after the first race. Got a feeling it will be a McLaren. I am a huge Lewis fan and really hope he does it, but when the red mist descends he loses it a bit :/ should be a good season!

Hopefully Lewis can keep his head!!! Could be a big season for kimi on his return it's all about reliability this season. 6 world champions sounds tasty but hopefully the 12 cars can keep up

I can't wait for the new season to begin. With Kimmi Rakionnen back, anything can happen. Just hope he has a competitive car. I seriously Jenson can push on from last season and hopefully bring the World Championship back to Mclaren. But the person to beat is Vettel, going by testing sesssions the red-bulls might not be great this year, so it is going to be an interesting season.

My head fears that Vettel / Red Bull will dominate - but my heart hopes Lewis or Jenson / McLaren will get their act together for the whole season.
I did the tour at Mercedes World at Brooklands a couple of weeks back (worth a visit even if you can't afford the cars) and the guy giving the talk about the F1 cars was saying how the profile of the AMG Mercedes F1team is being raised and that McLaren's relationship with Mercedes is due to cease, so will have a lower profile. He suggested McLaren may revert to a partnership with Honda like they did in the days of Senna etc. so does make you wonder if McLaren will get the best engines from Mercedes this year - and how this might impact on Lewis's or Jenson's chances.
I guess it also remains to see if Lewis adopts a more calm approach or allows himself to get drawn into distractions on and off the track that undermined him last year. Jenson doesn't have the same raw speed but I do love his contrast with Lewis and seeing him manage his tyres in the wet like at Canada. So maybe a few more wet races could upset things. Mind you the technical changes to the cars and tyres may also bring a few surprises.
I also want to see Di Resta make big progress as he seems to be our only up and coming hope.
Will be interesting to see how Sky handle the TV coverage, I really hope they don't dumb it down.

Jenson, Lewis and Vettel are the main men at the moment but I think Alonso and Schumacher,Rosberg will be very competitive. It could be a big turn off if the Red Bulls are as far ahead as they were last year.
Expecting to see Kimi drive briiliantly on occasions and like he doesn't give a shit on others.

And it's all gone quiet..
My head says Vettel will win it for the next 2 years at least, but I really bloody want Lewis or Jenson to win!

strong and stable with me, or...
Testing hasn't really given away much. Significant design changes to many of the cars. Could be really open this year. Hamilton for me is the fastest driver on the track, but prone to too many errors/rash decisions. Alonso probably gets more out of a car and set up than anyone else and really is the complete driver, Ferrari have chucked everything at this car. Vettell however has grown so much, even if other cars have caught up to his, I think he is going to take some catching. He was imperious last year. I think Vettel and Alonso will scrap it out, with Button and Hamilton not far behind.
