Default Formula One Season Begins!

Just a friendly reminder: Australian GP qualifying today and race tomorrow!

Always look forward to hearing the rules, strategies, and technology changes and challenges facing those in the world of F1 every new season.

Looks like Ferrari might be competitive this year with Vettel behind the wheel. Hope Massa gets to do well this year as well.

After one of the most boring seasons ever. These V6 motors are horrid. I will still watch because I love the sport but every rule change for the last 10 years to stop ferrari from winning has turned around to do the same thing with Red Bull and Mercedes.

stupidly boring race, I turned it iff after 10 mins.

Last year was boring. Mercedes so far in front and no close racing in the rest of the field.

Yesterday's race was even worse.

Mercedes way out in front, rest of he race boring.

F1 will lose spectators by the millions if they don't create some actual racing. All this is fast cars doing 58 laps with lots of space between each car

As much as I have always liked F-1, Bernie has screwed it up bad. So much that Red Bull is thinking about pulling out (but of course, their Renault engines play a lot into that).

And only 18 cars on the Grid! and four of them were out before the end of the 1st Lap.

its crappy when Mercedes laps all the drivers up to the 5th position. The season is already over. Mercedes will be first and second guaranteed. Worst part is my favourite driver Alonso signed with Mclaren Honda who where 5 seconds off the pace. And one of the Mcalren Honda's didn't make it one lap. On top of that I think they are the only team without a sponsor. They do not have one sticker on their car. What a waste of a talent and at his age maybe even his career.

formula one is all about 1 team domination. It always has been. Its gone downhill even more since they got rid of the v10. there is no parity in f1.

There are Sponsors on the car, Honda being #1! As far as Alonso goes, he made the decision to walk away from Ferrari. I'm surprised that McLaren even signed him since Ron Dennis and Alonso did not get along at all when he drove for them in the past!
