Hooray F1 is back
It seems to be an age since the last race of 2009,what with Scumacher returning , more cars on the grid no refueling and all of the driver changes it looks like we are going to have some exciting races to watch.
I cant remember a time when there were so many competitive drivers in competitive cars,it will be great to see how the first race pans out,perhaps then we may have some idea of what to expect in the future races.
Roll on noon tomorrow,
Cheers,

Hope the race is good, qualifying was a little dull.
I will miss the refuelling.

And as Martin pointed out, there is a risk that if drivers qualify top 10 but dont think they can get front two rows they could simply sit in the pits for ten mins and stsrt on fresh tyres!! This would be a bit of own an goal and make for a VERY dull Q3.Originally Posted by NSXGB
I guess 2mrow we will see if the smooth drivers haev an advantage and manage the tyres etc ...
On a personal note I was pleased to see the Lotus' back on track!

Probably most F1 fans think this could potentially be the best, most exciting and competitive season fo a long time!
I still can't get over how long the cars look this season compared to previous ones!
Tyres more than ever will win races, tyre degradation management crucial and its less exciting without refuelling! Even less margin for error when a good tyre change takes 3 seconds!?
I wonder how long it will be before Schumy matches Rosberg's pace or is quicker? Those Red Bulls look seriously quick, but reliability?

Wonder why the MClarens are visibly much stiffer? Watch out for them handling better on full tanks.
Only two hours to go!!
The Red bulls did not look good in pre season testing, so I picked Mclaren Mercedes
2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.

I hate it when I'm rightThe Red bulls did not look good in pre season testing, so I picked Mclaren Mercedes

Can somebody remind me of all those amazing over taking manoeuvres

Dullest race I've seen in some time...and there've been a fair few to choose from over the last few years.
I think these new rules are a bit of an own-goal, personally.
How to improve it? RADICAL limits on the aero package, as that's what's limiting the overtaking. Increase mechanical grip to compensate and watch the ballsy drivers drive right around people.
