its going to be between ferrari & Mclaren this year. Ill give it to Mclaren because of hamilton is used to driving without TC and Mclaren designing the Modules.

Actually...Mclaren Technology(down the hall from mclaren racing) AND Microsoft designed the ECU's but they are all the same for all the teams.
No traction control or engine braking WILL seperate the men from the boys but i don't think lewis is more experienced or even equal to the other top runners.

Major F1 fan here. Looking forward to the start of the season this weekend. In fact, qualifying starts in about 8 minutes!!
Glad for Kimi that he became F1 World Champion last year, as he was long overdue.
But I'm rooting for McLaren this year. They had the fastest car last year, and they are also due for a championship.

wow i was blown away by qualifying........watching the cars move around w/o TC.
kubica had an amazing qualifying lap...kept his foot in it in the dirt....gotta watch BMW this year. they may even take the race....
to hell with cryababy alonzo hope he doesn't win a single race.....i'm rooting the monosyllabic boozer kimi.
BTW- Speed is available in hi def but my cable channel doesn't carry the feed yet. hopefully soon else i'm dumping them for direct tv.
myself and a few friends are heading up to montreal for f1 in june.

yeah lots of attrition - i think the drivers have to get used to lack of TC. otherwise the season may be best ever- mclaren, ferrari, bmw, williams and alonzo in the mix.
agree hamilton put down an amazing drive.

Nice! I stayed at loews vogue hotel and talked to bernie ecclestone in the elevator, sat next to montoya at milos(a must greek restaurant), and spoke with barrichelo at a bar.
