Calm down now chaps.I'm sure that you know what you're talking about really......honest.lol
I think it'll come down to Massa and Raikkonen.Both drivers are capable of winning it.

[super_hoops1967]

Massa hopefully.

I dont think hamilton will do it this season. He'll not finish on the podium for the first few race's then the good old british media will start ripping him to shreds trying to turn everyone against him fuckin eejits.

This morning Frank Williams is saying that grids should be reversed i.e. then fastest at the back.Why would drivers try to be faster just be further down the grid? The only way I can see this working is to give points for qualifying.
I agree that something needs doing to make it more interesting and promote overtaking but this isn't it.

That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.You'd get in a situation where all the drivers will run qualifying laps at 2 mph.Next thing,he'll want race results reversed!!!

Ron Dennis latest:

According to the latest rumours McLaren team boss and shareholder Ron Dennis will announce his departure from the team later this week. The 61-year-old Briton has taken this decision without any pressure from Mercedes or the rest of the team according to the Sunday times.
Ron Dennis joined the McLaren Formula 1 team back in 1981 and made it one of the most successful teams in the history of Formula 1. While leading his team he brought men like Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Mika Hakkinen to the top.

It is expected that Martin Whitmarsh will take over duties from Ron Dennis starting in Melbourne. Ron Dennis has decided he wants to spend more time with his family.

Yeah,i think last years shenanigans took it out of him...The pressure's on Hamilton this year though...He's no longer a rookie and Mclarens expectations are very high!!

[super_hoops1967]

Yeah, the british media will no doubt be helping hamilton out as much as they can

I hope he does well, but i don't want him to win it.
