.........................GO!!!

This promises to be the most unpredictable season in years. Who do you think will do well this year? Do you think the new regulations are a good idea? What about Bernie's insistence that the championship should be decided by the number of races won rather than the number of points amassed? Will Brawn GP win their first race despite having sat in the garage all winter? What do you think of the BBC's coverage?

Feel free to answer all, some or none of these questions below. smiley - bigeyes

I don't think Lewis will do it again and I don't think Kimi will either. I don't think Bernie's plan will be implimented somehow. As for the Beeb's coverege, I'll be waiting for the first bars of The Chain with eagerness, although if I have to choose between F1 and WRC, the Rally will win hands down. Sorry

I think there's a distinct possibility that either Massa or Alonso will win, which is good.

Love the new titles (The Chain is back, baby!), can't wait for the squabbles, looking forward to Brawn GP (Virgin Cosmic Girl imminent on the livery? smiley - bigeyes ) and I'm buggered if I'm getting up at 6 am for the Aussie GP again smiley - tongueout

A friend of mine very correctly pointed out that the new Brawn cars livery makes them look like "'80s hi-tec trainers".

Any bets for who's going to be champion this year or is it too early to start hedging bets

Any bets for where Hamilton will finally be awarded for Melbourne? In just over two weeks time it may turn out that he actually won on sunday.

That won't please the FIA, last year they did everything they possibly could to make sure he didn't win

That gives them two weeks to find a reason to exclude him. Wrong colour of helmet?

It's not too surprising that the scoring system introduced to stop Schumacher running away with the title before June has become something of a burden now he's retired smiley - winkeye

Whether it ultimately stands or not, Melbourne was a remarkable achievement for the Brawn team - we'll just have to see how much their budget and staff reductions hurt them later on...

Wait, Reef post an obscenity and the post after that gets modded? What'd happen if I said Jacques Villeneuve?
