Anybody else an F1 junkie like me? i have been a lifelong fan of F1 and Ferrari in particular, i have followed the highs and lows of Ferrari for years now and feel at the moment they are back to the lows? i mean forgetting to send a car out to qualify and then not putting enough fuel in the car , now being a Brit i would love to see Jenson become the world champ but think he will have strong competition from Vettel.

So any other F1 fans here??

According to reports at the moment, Ferrari will pull out of F1 if budget to be capped at 40 million.

I cant see that happening, i think Max and Bernie will bow to pressure from Ferrari?

I kinda lost interest in F1 after Hakkinen left.

To be honest I only watch F1 now because It's Motorsport on the TV.

But your right about Jenson. He'd have been there already if he'd had a better car under him from the start.

That's what my old man was talking about this morning after watching the news.

It won't be good news if Ferrari pull out of F1 but if there sulking then let them leave, that's what I say.

The start to this season is a real strange one, the so called "big guns" Ferrari and Mclaren aren't firing and the teams that are usually there just to make up the numbers seem to firing on all cylinders . It's going to be an interesting season.

I kind of know what you mean Jase, the days of Schumacher, Hakkinen were great but i think we have some great upcoming talent to look forward to in the next few years.

My season predictions .....Jenson Button Wourld champion , runnerup Rubens Barichello , 3rd either Vettel or Mark Webber. and as for constructors 1)Braun 2)Red Bull 3)Toyota

Great first race at Yas Marina.

Unlucky for Lewis.
And another great drive from Kobiashi.

Highlight of the whole thing though has to be......

Jeson talking too Mark Weber about the battle in the closing laps just before they go out onto he podium.
Live to the world.

"I thought fuck it I should have waited there"

What an absolutely stunning circuit set in a breath taking location. The Ferrari world complex just looks .

Jenson really put the pedal to the metal in the last 10 laps and closed down a 4 seconds lead on Webber, truly World Champion driving.

What a nice way to end his World Championship .

at his conversation with Webber just before they went out on the Podium. As the commentator said it's the Adrenaline

Yas Marina was awesome, surely it will become a classic race in the years to come. A few tweaks to the chicanes could make better racing.
A big shame Toyota have gone, i was realling hoping to watch a whole season of Kobayashi giving it hell on the circuits. Hopefully he will be back with another team in F1.
I advise he doesnt sign with Renault though. Who knows what happening with them.
