What are you hoping/excited to see this season?

finally better looking cars - like F-1 cars of the 90's... wide, big wings. I hope Ferrari are genuinely fast, but fear Mercedes - Hamilton will dominate. Nice to see if Bottas can win with a good car.

 

1. Ferrari roast Merc to win the wdc.

2. Max emerges as a true force. Stuffs Ricci and claims the right to be seen as a future wdc

3. McLaren finish a race - unlikely to happen until late in the season

4. Massa retires - for real.

 

I would like to see Massa kick Bottas' ass. Unlikely, but would be fun anyway.

 

That at least 1 team (Ferrari) or even 2 emerges as worthy equivalents to Mercedes. These past 2 years has been races between 2 Mercedes drivers. C'mon!

 

I'm hoping:

- Many podiums and victories for S.F conquering both titles
- Massa in the podium, as this car fits him better and I'm kinda resentful for 2008.
- Verstapen fighting for WDC

 

I would like to see a season where it was not a forgone conclusion who would win each race 3 days before it was won.

 

Verstappen/Kimi battle to the final race of the season for WDC!!!!!!!!

 

This and only this.

 

3 teams or 4 drivers sharing the wins during the season.

But guess which ones , or who they are !!

 

Ferrari to win every race, Elton to retire having been beaten by bottles, hopefully by race six, and alonso taking his place at merc. That'll do me

 

This will be good enough to satisfy many, including me.

I'd like to hear McLaren announce they're changing engine suppliers before we get to Abu Dhabi.

 

That would be freakin' awesome. Also Haas on the podium once in some kind of upset. The little teams need a break!

 

The chance of Ferrari being well and truly in the fight for pole and wins each race.

 

This^ would be the key for me. The driver battles are interesting. For the sport at large we need honest challenge to Mercedes more so.

 

Ferrari victories! Why say more?

 

some wheel to wheel racing and crashing.

 

Ferrari on the podium on every single Grand Prix.

 

The opnly decent thing to hapen is Kimi and Seb taking the first tom places in the championship, Bottas beating Elton and Massa winning another racing..also beating Elton...ohh. Alonso should quit every race...Hope Hulkenberg will do good..

 

Anyone but Mercedes winning a race. Probably wont happen

 

No Bernie

Pete

 

Sadly I think he will find a way to get himself on camera this season.

 

Somebody (not only Bottas) able to challenge Hamilton for the entire season to make a thrilling season finale without the artificial suspense of a team internal duel...If it is Red Bull it is OK, if it is Ferrari or both even better. And if Vettel wins a WDC for Ferrari showing his critics the (middle)finger I could life with that as well...

 

An epic battle for the titles between Red Bull and Ferrari. Mercedes degraded to 3rd best (the lower the better but some realism is needed!). Bottas to better Hamilton who goes onto his usual whinging ways (wild theories included).

I want Force India, Williams, STR, Haas and Renault to all be close together. I think Sauber and Mclaren are the 2 at the back, just for ****s and giggles I do want Sauber to score a few valuable points and actually be ahead of Mclaren. I don't hate Mclaren at all, obviously wish them well and want them to compete near the front again where they belong but it's pretty funny. It stopped being funny last season but with testing it became all funny again

Teams meet with F1 owner Liberty in London



The big names in F1 have this week headed from a farewell party for Bernie Ecclestone to a meeting with the sport's new owners.

Last week, the ousted F1 supremo's friend Flavio Briatore revealed that every major figure in the sport headed to London to farewell Ecclestone, 86.

"I was surprised that everyone was there," F1 legend and Mercedes team chairman Niki Lauda told the Austrian broadcaster ORF.

"After the first shock, he was in a good mood all night and the farewell party was very well received," he added.

Lauda said he and many others in the paddock will "miss" Ecclestone.

But at the same time, the sport is now looking confidently into its future headed by new owner Liberty Media and Ecclestone's successors Chase Carey and Ross Brawn.

Lauda says the F1 team bosses were invited to London this week to meet with Carey and his team.

"He will tell us where we are heading," said the Austrian.

"They bring new ideas to formula one, which we need." But Lauda also said patience is required, as there are limits to what Liberty can change straight away.

"The organisers have contracts, the teams have contracts," he said. "But there will certainly be news and I can imagine that they will be brought in this year."
