Wicked!!! Be fun to talk a little shop (maybe a little smack too lol). I was at the montreal race in 2005. Last year if the v-10 engines. What a sound! My whole family is addicted.

Well I'm Italian so of course I cheer for the red machine but I am excited about the coming season and happy to see MS back. Now that Mercedes has started to pull away from Mclaren, I even don't mind them so much .

It is lining up to be one of the most promising seasons,
I think Schumi's return with Mercedes will spark a whole new scenario in F1.... and now that the cars cannot re-fuel during the race, it will come down to a good qualifying and overtaking on the course!!!

I agree.. I regret that Ferrari wasn't allowed to provide him the third car but I feel that with Alonso behind the wheel that we really do have the best pilot in F1 today. That being said... if MS has lost .3 of a second per lap from when he retired due to age, he might still be the fastest there is!!!

There's no arguing that the combo of Brawn and MS has proven formidable in the past.

I too am looking forward to getting rid of the fueling. It will ensure that driving style also comes in to play. Smoother drivers with better throttle control will surely get better mileage throughout the race and this may also come into play with how much fuel is required to be put in the car. Qualifying will again be an all out, low fuel, pure speed shoot out as well. No more of the situation whereby the 3rd session times are slower than the 2nd session. I thought that was pretty stupid.

It will be real racing indeed. About Alonso being the best pilot out there....well, we are starting with the controversies right off the bat! LOL
