Anyone excited about the f1 season ahead? Do you think that Hamilton will win?

Interesting how in winter testing and race 1 Merc were seen as underdogs but by race 4 it seems like business as usual. It's a bit closer than last year tho so a bit more exciting! It'll be another WDC trophy for LH though I'm sure

Not really tbh ,

It's currently 3-1 to Lewis but it could easily be 1-3 ,

Max overtook Lewis is race 2 but exceeded track limits by inches , Max would have won that race ,
Max was also leading last time out at Imola but the Red Bull team made a bad strategy call , had they pitted they would have held the lead as that track is notoriously hard to pass on unless you have new tires versus old as Lewis demonstrated ,

I think this season is interesting which is good because the last 5 "Mercedes Bought" years have been a bit boring ,

We have now with the Mercedes longer wheelbase car no longer having such a large advantage a race on our hands which is what it's meant to be about and also the Red Bull now has a Honda power unit that has been fully developed and is matching the Mercedes unit,

Lewis has a fight on his hands this year i see that and i would not underestimate determination and hunger.

If Lewis reaches 8 WDC's then he will of beaten Michaels 7 but i personally think Lewis has won his last and with the new rules package coming in 2022 all the teams performance will be a lot closer ,

Spending cuts and less Aero have been promised , reducing the dirty air and allowing cars to actually overtake without having a massive advantage ,

All hail Ross Brawn.
