Who will you be rooting for this season?

[Raven07]

Bruno Senna of course! and Im also torn between Hamilton and Vettel........ after the comments Hamilton said during an interview last year......really got to me (not in a good way)

I was following Shumacher and then Hamilton.... this year? im keeping a close eye on Senna (Ayrton's Nephew) Bruno Senna is racing for Williams racing team with his mother (ayrtons sister) as like his agent

Bruno was actually released by Williams following the 2012 season being replaced by Valtreri Bottas.

ah I read that, says Bruno will sit out the F1 Season, opting instead to Race Le Mans, signed by the Aston Martin race team in 2013...disheartening to say the least for me lolhttp://www.gptoday.com/details/view/441585/Senna_to_switch_to_Le_Mans_in_2013/#.URNmzyDTnIU

It's going to be between Vettel and Alonso. Again. Red Bull have such a huge range of talent and Ferrari have the resources (except for the #2 driver). Raikonnen might spring a surprise race or two, Button will win races but he needs a totally race winning car underneath him to win enough for a championship.

And as for Hamilton, he is the raciest driver on the grid but I'm not sure about his move to Mercedes. Granted Ross Brawn crafted a championship winning car for Button, and Brawn knows his chops, learned how to do it with Schumacher etc etc but I somehow dont see it happening this year. If you want to throw your money around, toss it towards the Red Bull/Ferrari motorhomes.

I agree with that totally! ridiculous, that's why im like eh on liking him or not. I agree I predict another year of Vettel and Alonso duking it out with maybe a surprise at some point during the season, a dark horse if you will. someone like Massa or Webber OR Kimi.

[binnypuss]

WHAT???????????????? Massa????????????? No way Jose, He hasnt got a race win left in him and will get burned by at least 6 drivers this year. Just saying

man I miss those cars

2013 is just around the corner!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa3ERdlNJ4I

[Raven07]

the days are counting down, teams and drivers have been getting the cars race worthy ready putting in practice laps and time behind the wheel with the season literally JUST around the corner. the anticipation is crazy in the F1 world! March 17, 2013! is the date until you hear the roar of the engines the thrills of the speed! the excitement to that which is Formula One!

[descent into the maelstrom]

Massa has no chance in the championship. Ferrari has already demonstrated repeatedly that Massa is not allowed to win if Alonzo is running.

I thought that was pretty funny when they unnecessarily broke the seal on his transmission last year just to get him knocked back in the starting grid so that Alonzo would move up. That guy will not get a break with his current employer - except that he is still employed.

Kimi for the title this year then

[binnypuss]

Given the right car I personally wouldnt bet against Kimi stringing enough together to make hinself a serious challenger

However, dont think the Lotus is the car yet!!! Didnt use to be a Raikonnen fan, but his recent interviews have been utter quality, he's a guy who says it like it is!!!

BTW, rumour here in the UK is the McLaren will be running Honda engines in 2015. Watch this space

heard that too... that would be epic... going back to McLaren Honda

[Raven07]

McLaren-Honda.... heck yes. THAT was the ultimate combo, Ayrton Senna rocked that [profanity deleted] lol! him and that red/white McLaren, I can see Kimi contending this year , but not on a steady pace in the championship , I think he'll be competitive but the car is still a few years away from being tip top shape and taking the championship. Since Senna is racing elsewhere this season, interested to see how Vettel can come back and maintain his tear lol! after winning ( I think) 3 championships? in the past 5 years? I lost respect for Hamilton after he was pulling the race card as to the reason why he was constantly wrecked last season. Alonso will be breathing down Vettel's neck . Jenson Button im hoping challenges and finishes higher than his 4th place finish in the championship race last season.

http:// look at Massa

[Raven07]

2013 is literally JUST around the corner! so pumped!
