Just had a thought.

This year's F1 will have champion Button, racing with ex-champion Hamilton.
They are pitted against former champion Alonso with champion hopeful Massa.

Then there is Webber, who can make a fight of it, and Vettel who is a champion in waiting.
Then just to spice the whole damn thing up....... back comes the Great One after 3 years.

I think that this might be the best F1 season in many a year.

Shyte lance you missed a few awesome races but i hear you :D

Yeah, it sounded like there were a few but the interest was just not there for me. Too much politics and regulations interfering with balls to the wall racing.

Last year was the first time in about 4 years I made a effort to follow F1 again, I must tell I was hoping that Vetvel, I mean Vettel would have won it.

I would have bet money that he would win it this year, the I heard the news that a certain MS was coming back, glad I didn't made that wager :)

Yea, looking good. Shame we don't have ex-champ kimi on the grid as well, would have been even better!

Not a shame at all, i am glad he gone. Looks like he enjoys cashing his cheque more than racing hard at times.

I have not bothered with F1 for the last 2 years, if it was on I watched it.

This year, it will be a religion again!

I don't think so. He had some off moments, but i think he drove the wheels of a pretty average car last year. That win at spa was amazing, and i think ferrari made a mistake. Him and Hamilton were definitely the two best drivers in the 2nd half of last season.

I think it's going to be one of the greatest seasons yet :) I think the only way it could be better if some smaller team had've hired Hakkinen to come and add some spice lol

I think that it will be a great season 4 champions on the grid, I've never seen that before. Also, last season was a bit of a farce for me. Button won 6 of the first 7, but not again for the rest of the season. Not the best season for me, Brawn just had a huge lead that no one could catch, what can you do?

Anyway, 2010 should be great!

The biggest problem with Kimi last year, although he is a brilliant driver it just looked like he lost interest in the race the moment things doesn't go his way.
He then just does enough to cross the finish line.

He just looked lazy, but that's certainly just my opinion.

I thought 2008 was pretty spectacular season. The last race of the season was epic!!!

2008 was epic, how someone could not have watched 2008 is beyond me.

One of the most of exciting f1 seasons i have ever watched. 2009 drew many yawns :D.

the thing with 2008 was the the title race was exciting. often the actual races were not.

this year might probably be the same unless they sort out the ability of cars to actually overtake each other. that is what is wrong with F1.

2008 was my favourite season, tried to watch all the races

2009, I lost interest and watched hardly an races

Hoping 2010 will be as epic as 2008 with the introduction of new teams :)

Yea it is a pity they have removed the fueling :(

I thought that added a lot to the sport.

I spook to a colleague of mine last week regarding the refuelling angle, or lack there off.
He said that it should make it more interesting.
Apparently they have done this before, somewhere in the 80s he said, and apparently it was quite fun to see the racers run out of fuel 3 corners from the
finish because they pushed the cars to hard and fast.
We'll see if really works or not, but it seems there will still be an element of strategy involved, think about it, do I blitz from the beginning or do I keep good pace through the day and then blitz it the last 3 laps.
Should be interesting to see if this works or not.
