Totally agree.... but hey, at least you can hear the wheel spin and lock-ups...... utter rubbish..... I'd rather hear the roar of the engines and not be able to speak to anyone and come away with my ears truly ringing

F1 - Formula no, Failure yes !!

Button FTW!!

If you hate the new engine sound, you're not alone. Bernie and Sebastian are horrified too.

Expect some empty seats in Grands Prix, folks. Formula 1 is decomposing...

Yes, F1 car's through engine sound alone I use the word 'Beast'..... I think I have to say 'Pony' now

Hamilton to be World Champion?

Vettel and Hamilton both drop out of first race and this time they get a 1st and 3rd, if Redbull can sort their car out to the performance of last season then they could win it again. Only thing is they will need all of these kinks sorted by race day 5 maximum as I think Lewis will be racking them points up!

I hope Hamilton does do it this year!
Quality driver, and the car he's in now is just awesome.
Let's see what Red Bull can do from now though, because you can't count them out.

Button will win as always

Stand up comedian ^

Button won't stand a chance, think he may finish 5th/6th in the Drivers at the end but he just hasn't got the car.

Also Ferrari season will be next season I think, they need to win something worst run of form in their Driving history

nah it will be

1st Button
2nd Button
3rd Button
4th Button
5th Button
6th Button
7th Button
8th Button
9th Button
10th Hamilton (maybe)

Ferrari will make a comeback for sure, don't ever write them off!

Haha, I would love Button to win it I think he's a great guy overall just hasn't got the equipment to help him over the line. Also am glad he managed to get at least one Drivers Championship

This year for me it's going to be Hamilton/Vettel (Depending on car very quickly) Ricardo will be floating around 3rd with Alonso he's always there abouts

Don't rule out Rosberg ;)

I think Red Bull will come back and it will come down to Vettel, Hamilton, Rosberg in the last race.

^^^ finally someone with some sense lol...

Some of u guys dont follow f1 closely haha, don't rule out rosberg hes more consistent and at some venues is quicker then hamilton. Hmailton is fine out at the front and on his own but struggles heavily when in the pack, he struggles to overtake unless its down a straight which the mercedes/mclaren has always been top of the time sheets at so its not been a problem but if seen him stuck behind cars for laps on laps and the a guy like vettel comes along and does it in half a lap!

Still im a patriot and still want Hamilton to win lol i just don't think hes the most complete driver on the grid and never will be.

Will the bulls be able to catch the mercedes? ..On certain tracks yes but overall i think merc have got this in the bag this year.

On to Bahrain, Bulls will struggle here with the long straights so dont be surprised to see them struggling to get into the top 10 because mclaren, williams and force india will be strong here.

But the Bulls never fail to surprise me, in theory they should be nowhere but this team doesnt do nowhere and vettel will pull everything out to get a result = Great GP



Predictions end of season:

Mercedes wins Constructors easily, red bull second and ferrari/Mclaren third.

1. Hamilton (going with my heart here not my head)
2. Rosberg
3. Vettel
4. Alonso
5.Riccardo (Assuming he gets his 2nd place back for Aussie)

6. Button
7. Hulkenberg (To ferrari next year surely) Always impresses me.
8. Magnussen
9. raikkonen

Pretty much how i see it.

All wrong ^
Raikkonen will win easy

'Some of u guys dont follow f1 closely haha'

All because some people don't think Rosberg will win the Drivers Championship? End of day Mercades will have the constructors Championship tied up very quickly (Hopefully) I just think it all depends how Red Bull do with their car within the next 2/3 races.

The fact all of these new rules and regulations are an abolsute joke, F1 the only rule should be make your car faster... If you could strap a rocket engine and some NOS to the car get it on. Who remembers the days of F1 where they used to refil the car whilst in the pits? Driving in at 150+kmh now you are to restricted to what you're allowed to do. This whole Ricardo thing is another joke on how the sport is going.

Why people rule rosberg out is beyond me, i totally agree, i think hamilton will win it, but thats because i'm english, it will be between hamilton and rosberg, and if red bull come back, i'm sure vettel will storm back up, but i believe it's imperative that mercedes rack them points up early while they can, because it isnt going to be plain sailing come race 10-12
