Is anyone else seriously looking forward to F1 next year?
Discussion
Enjoyed this year, but next year has the makings of a really good year.
No fuel stops which could mean all sorts of fuuny running to preserve the car- get the new tyres on at the right time- really stupidly quicky pitstops and that sort of thing.
hopefully more overtaking- the cars were close enough this year- could they run even tighter next year? can't see a return to Schumi lapping everyone!
teams? brits v krauts? GET IN! A whole season of blatant jingoism
A few of the teams look like they might be thinking of being in the mix- does it seem likely that one team will have a clear advantage "a la" brawn this year?
Drivers- hmm- Button clearly wants to prove himself against LH (which could be very very interesting), LH in turn wants to prove themsevles against MS, who clearly wants to prove that he's still the best (which could be very interesting) and has taken a pretty small salary for the chance. On top of which there are some very interesting young drivers coming into their own.
So, which teams do you rate? and why? Which drivers- any oddities?

Yes. Like you wouldn't believe. More cars, more points, (hopefully) more drama, no boring Toyota or corrupt Flav & Pat, plus the return of The Great One. I'm sure the evil dwarf will manage to f

On paper at least, it should be the most interesting for some time. MS vs JB vs LH, all with different things to prove, no refuelling. Not sure where the Red Bulls will figure this year, but hope they are right up there
As you say, lets hope Bernard leaves well alone - we don't need anything political this year......

Don't forget Massa and Alonso, both with points to proveAs you say, lets hope Bernard leaves well alone - we don't need anything political this year......

i think its gonna be like last year basically which ever team has done the most devlopment through out last year will win
What, you mean like Ferrari, BMW and McLaren - all of whom started development on their 09 cars before anyone else and spent more than the others on development? I too long for the days when those under-developed, poorly engineered, badly driven cars won everything!

He didn't, the FIA did. Bernie didn't choose who got the grid slots.k it up somehow though. (For his latest trick, he's said Campos and USF1 won't be ready in time, why the hell did he give them an entry then and not Prodrive?!).Edited by Stupidlikeafox on Wednesday 23 December 16:13

The point I was trying to make was that F1, as in any sport, is about the best winning.
