[cjm180]

Hey

Not long now to the start of the 2017 season.

My predictions:

1) Hamilton
2) Ricardo
3) Verstappen
4) Vettel
5) Bottas
6) Raikkonen

What is everyone thinking?

Boring sorry ! Team orders and procession comes to mind . I stopped watching it years ago !

[Mike Sanders]

Yes it should be an exciting season. The cars could be as much as five seconds a lap faster than last year's.

My prediction, or more of a wish list, is:-

Hamilton
Verstappen
Bottas
Ricciardo
Vettel
Raikonnen

Bring it on, as they say.

Do you know why they haven't yet gone to low profile tyres in F1? Every other racing class and most halfway sporty road cars now run on ultra low profile rubber, but F1 still has balloon tyres.
Is this still a hangover from Ecclestone and his daft ideas about limiting tyre performance to make racing more exciting?

[Red3]

They did test them back in 2014 at Silverstone.

I think around 50% of the suspension on these cars is in the tyre. maybe they found it too difficult to move suspension into the car? Or perhaps its for performance control?

I think bottas is gonna struggle. he has not won a race yet! even pastor won one!

I think what Anthony Hamilton said the other day about Lewis ending careers is correct and one the reasons he is on top of the game. he plays off the track as well. mental warfare!


I see Allison has gone to merc. Why did Ferrari get rid of him? I know he went off when his wife passed?


Still no official confirmation about Paddy to Williams

[Red3]

i think this shows the suspension and tyres working together.
