It seems like there's no silly season to speak of this year, really lame.

I look forward to 4 months of people posting mock-ups of what the Renault livery will look like, then in March, being massively underwhelmed.

It should look like 2010 and they should bring back Kubica IMO.

Nah F1 wouldn't work without McLaren. It's the yin to Ferrari's yang.

Ferrari is a truly passionate team, they have great passion for cheating.

Refuelling was utter poo poo. Basically why try to even overtake, you can just pit earlier/later. At least tire wear is less predictable than that, so they can't rely on such a strategy and instead may even try to overtake.

The number of overtakes already rose when they banned refuelling in 2010, and that was before Pirelli/DRS.

I'll predict the same as last year - Alonso WDC, McLaren WCC.

Formula 1 race winner Pastor Maldonado is a great driver and I hope we see him again in 2017. I'd even tolerate Ferrari if he were to drive for them (and beat Vettel's rear end).

I don't want to live in a world where Pastor Maldonado has the same number of wins as Heikki Kovalainen.

Dare I say this year will be nuts? I think so. I like to imagine, in some make-believe faraway land, that McLaren and Ferrari have their poo poo together and will gently caress with Merc this year.
We can dream, but then disappointment will be even greater after a couple of races.

I, for one, am happy we have 11 teams on track this year.

Mark Webber scored points in a Minardi, because of that he'll always be good in my eyes.
