Also explains some of the Hamilton hate I guess
Lol not at all, just arrogant.
Note that i also loved stars such as Mansell, Hill, Button.
Mentioning Button, i'm glad he's managed to keep his F1 career going.
2 weeks to go people!!!!

I actually adored Hakkinen, what a driver.
As for Coulthard, i tend to support a fellow countryman.

It will be very interesting to see what Button and Barrichello will be able to do at Australia.
I heard somewhere that the race is going to start at 0900 gmt? So its more European friendly.

Hamilton has said the McLaren car isn't fast enough but are McLaren trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security.
Wish I went to the bookies when Button had no car, how well Brawn have tested, never know, my wild prediction of him being champion

Ferrari has made a number of retarded moves during the later years of F1, but if you are referring to team orders, I disagree with you. F1 is first and foremost a team sport, and secondly an individual one. Team orders can never be prevented anyway, and personally I think it's wrong to try to forbid it in the first place.
I ain't annoyed about team orders but for some situations, it is stupid and wrong. I mean, Australia 1998, McLaren let Hakkinen win the race because he led out David Coulthard (silly reason,it was the opening race, let your drivers race). But they should only do team orders if one driver has a chance to win the championship or somet and the other can't.

This is precisely what excites me so much ahead of this year's championship: We know literally nothing what so ever about how the power struggle between the teams will turn out.
Obviously the most likely bet is for Ferrari and McLaren to remain the two top dogs, but both BMW and Renault were very strong teams the last season so nobody knows.
I'm particularly impressed by what Alonso did to the Renault. After his pathetic fight with Hamilton in McLaren the year before, I lost all sympathy for him as a driver, but no one can deny his skills, not only as a driver, but as an engineer.
Many people may not be aware of this fact, but Alonso scored more points than any other driver in the latter half of the 2008 season.

Alonso was superb last season with that car. He's the key to their success. Without him, they are just another team.
Who is Vettel driving with this season? Did one of the best possible seasons last year you'll ever see looking at the car he had, wouldn't surprise me at all to see him win a Championship.

A rookie I think, don't remember the name. Check f1.com
Wish him all the best, but have limited hope for the Red Bull.

Sebastien Vettel is with Mark Webber, not a rookie at Red Bull.
The only new face is Sebastien Buemi or somet like that and he is with Sebastien Bourdais at Torro Rosso

I saw that on the site, but couldn't believe there was that small a change - Vettel takes over Coulthard at Red Bull, Buemi comes on in Vettel's Toro Rosso. Is that the only change at all?

Looks like it, had Honda not gone bust, probably would have had Senna in for Barrichello.
But as Brawn had little time to prepare, they went for experience over talent
