So who has been keeping an eye on the F1 stage over the break?? its good to see a few new teams in the mix and very very delighted to see a few new faces and drivers in different teams.....this season should be a good season me thinks.....Ferrari are dominating testing atm so good to see them bounce back from last season

[Krishy]

cant wait for the first race of the season in a months time

Massa has been killing it i hear!

Hoping that McLaren Medcedes and Ferrari can shake things back up,

Predicting a Red Bull year.

oh dear..Ferrari fanboys

[Krishy]

lol you should read through the 09 thread then lol

[TALBO]

Will be an interesting season, so many points of interest too like:

Alonso now at Ferrari and incidentally going fastest in testing thus far

Schuey now at Mercedes GP, back alongside Brawn and showing good signs early

Ferrari powered BMW Sauber have shown lots of speed in the hands of old timer de la Rosa

Current WDC Button at McLaren alongside a former WDC Hamilton

Vettel/RBR and Adrian Newey at it again together

the list could go on.... and on

Yeah agreed, its sure gonna be one of the most interesting seasons for ages.

Still hope Webber achieves a few results this season also... Go OZZY!

Oh yes get used to it lol

Testing times don't mean squat wait till the first round then it'll be clear....Common!

True depending on what they're actually testing but sometimes it means a great deal and gives a pretty good indication of who's going to be competitive from the get go

[shy_s6]

like jeremy clarkson said, when ferrari are building good street cars they do crap in F1, and their new street car is porn so, no hope for ferrari this season

GO WEBBER!!! i still get pumped when i hear his reaction after his first win so emotional!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS YESYESYESYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS

[Krishy]

ferrari have had two rough years so this year they are definitely going to be trying to get back into the winners circle......Ferrari started working on the F10 midway through last season when other teams were still developing their current (09) cars.....so looks like time and effort well spent so far

The main problem for Ferrari the last couple years has been the amount key people that have changed/left the team. Schumacher, Brawn, Tolt for starters....

Every team wants to win, it's just a matter of if they have the know how & the budget to follow through. The addition of Alonso should be an added strength, although if Massa proves to be too competitive (which is a good chance) it could be a repeat of the problems at McLaren. Unless that is Alonso has learnt from that.....

So who knows, I'm not going to be making bets either way that's for sure.

I'll still want Webber to win anyway

I'll be surprised if Massa troubles Alonso too much and I honestly don't think Webber will trouble Vettel, if at all.

looking forward to RBR car launch tomorrow!

should be an interesting season, looks like it'll be a fight between Mercades and McLaren for the championships (going by performance at the end of last season)

with the no refueling going on i def think that vetel will own mark this season (mark uses more fuel per lap), but that might also play into buttons and alonso hands... tho the most interesting thing for me will be how will schuey do =)

lotsa question, lots of intrigue, should be another good season

[Krishy]

mark and lewis both use a lot of fuel per lap then say button or alonso......its just their driving style does that.....schuey did ok in the tests and has done a lot of laps in a gp2 car...so he will be in good shape first race me thinks......this year will be a rather tight one.....drivers challenging for the championship would be: Button, Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Webber, Vetel, Schuey

first pics of the RB6 are up!!!! woots!!! launch and testing "today" =)

happy times!

[TALBO]

Most of the teams (that have launched cars already) are testing today and into the weekend, should be interesting as they'll no doubt be doing more than just getting familiar with the latest tyre compounds.

[Fishpaste~]

yeah, i know most cars have been launched... but today is RB6 launch day, not most cars have already been launched day! =\ and just from an engineering standpoint alone most people should be interested in what newey has come up with for this season, then again, i guess most people aren't interested in fluid dynamics XD

the whole idea about getting more laps under your belt is a good idea in theory, but this year there is not only a limit on number of test days but there is actually a limit on number of tyres you can use in testing as well (and hence a corresponding amount of kms you can put on a car)... may as well plan to maximise your time both in the wind tunnel and on the track??? =) but mebe its simply the fact that RBR didn't have the opportunity to start development of the 2010 car as early as some other teams last season...
