Wow...3 days from that start of F1 2010 and not a single thread....

KANdaddy · 03-09-2010, 10:15 PM

I for one am dying with anticipation. The days couldn't be going by slower.

I predict Alonso or Vettel will get the first win with Schumi and Hamilton close behind. Button and Massa will also not be far behind.

Bluechipper · 03-10-2010, 01:18 AM

Can't wait.

Looks to be one crazy season ahead.

ianbiz · 03-10-2010, 01:20 AM

I have a feeling massa will do well.

there is a longer back straight now at bahrain.

Dartanium · 03-10-2010, 01:23 AM

i suspect schumi won't even place in the top 5

gts135 · 03-10-2010, 01:28 AM

Hamilton
Schumi
Alonso

Or so my cloudy crystal ball says!

E93DT · 03-10-2010, 03:30 AM

Alonso ...

MaxSport · 03-10-2010, 05:54 AM

I am looking forward to seeing all the new teams.

Calm before the storm but...

I think McLaren and Red Bull will do extremely well.

marcel b · 03-10-2010, 07:47 AM

Vettel rules!

I expect Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso close. Schumi as well when the car is good enough, which is difficult to say right now. Button could do well with the new strategy as there is no refueling anymore and he is a very "round" driver taking care of his tires. (where Hamilton and Alonso have a much more aggresive style)

It is a long time ago that I was looking so much forward to the start of a season F1!

J330 · 03-10-2010, 08:24 AM

wow! I must of been sleeping or busy. I didnt know it was that time again.

I went to a couple of USGP's in Indy and was mistaking for Kimi a couple of times. It was great

I need to get Speed HD.

BudVlad · 03-10-2010, 08:37 AM

Circuit changes for 2010:

- New track layout in Sector 1, featuring 8 new corners
- All tyre barriers 6 rows deep fitted with extra conveyor belting
- All kerbs repainted

Weather:

Temperatures are expected in the mid 30C with high 35°C (95°F). The only possible problem is sandstorms which cause the track, especially off-line areas, to be dangerously slippery as well as reducing visibility levels.

xbook · 03-10-2010, 09:52 AM

Woohoo ... so stoked ... only bummer is we have family from out of town staying with us this upcoming F1 season opening weekend. Guess I'll have to be waking them up ... hehehe...

Yay, so stoked ... will report back more after friday practice.

Go Ferrari, and go Shumi (damn, now that means 2 separate teams)

raisemyrent · 03-10-2010, 02:16 PM

yeah, I used to wake everybody up by cranking up the surround sound for the race start. Do it!

Go Alonso and the Scuderia! But you know who's winning? SCHUMI. He will pass them all no matter what: they'll all be so afraid of him and impressed that they'll just move aside. Sorta like 2002.

FrankoQ · 03-10-2010, 04:33 PM

Rubens to surprise!!!

///M1 · 03-10-2010, 04:52 PM

Can't wait myself, will be super exciting given:

1. Musical chairs of drivers in the off-season. A lot of teams with both drivers on equal footing (e.g. Alonso/Massa, Button/Hamilton, Webber/Vettel, in theory Nico/Michael, though we know who Russ Brawn favors)
2. Nascar style scoring system (well, almost), such that no one is out of the race for champ
3. No refueling
4. Less tires allowed per weekend (btw, front tires are narrower this yr)
5. Still 8 engines for the season, but time spread over 19 races
6. Canada is back - finally North America is on the F1 map again!
7. New teams (expecct something from Lotus given funding and talent of drivers)

I can go on and on, should be awesome! Can't wait for Friday AM practice!
