2010 F1 season

Anyone looking foward to F1 season.......your views........the 3 amigos can't wait for the season to start

How true bro, this season promises to be awesome, 4 Word Champions all at each other, roll on the practise, lets see if anyone has the legs on the others

thinking of putting some money on lewis, he's the only one who dos'nt have to learn a new car, at the start of the season

Good thinking, but IMO they have all started with a brand new car so its anyones

I'll move this topic to general chat bro, it might get more on it

should be a brilliant championship this year.......bring it on......

I'm looking forward to the Lewis & Button, Alonso & Massa battles, should be some sparks

i know, and schey in the mix AWESOME

And Rosberg in a decent car

Yeah, but he will get suffocated by schey over the season, he has to be no1 driver.............he's already asked for no3 on his car as he dose'nt like odd numbers, so rosberg will be demoted to no4 already..........schey tactics

Very true, i really meant it could turn out like last year with Button & barrichello!!

Michael Schumacher is immediately quick in his first run in the new Mercedes car, but Ferrari's Felipe Massa sets the pace at the first Formula 1 testing session of 2010 in Valencia.

That old chestnut !!!

yeah, still just a shake down at the minute

But pretty impressive first time out in 3 years
