F1 returns with what promises to be the most exciting season ever - 4 world champions on the grid:

  • Jenson Button
  • Lewis Hamilton
  • Fernando Alonso
  • Michael Schumacher

There's also Massa who would have been a contender last year, if not for that horror accident, Vettel and Webber at Red Bull, who both have race winning potential (and in Vettels' case, World Championship potential).

Then there's the big one - no refuelling. The top teams have had mechanics on unparalled training programmes, to shed weight, increase muscle mass, and speed things up - according to reports, Red Bull can remove and replace, all 4 tyres on their car, in 1.8 seconds.

In short - Bring it on :)

Actually, it was a damn good season truth be told. Sadly the 2011 season has already been somewhat over shadowed [before it has even started] by the horrible injury to Robert Kubica, and the cancellation of the Bahrain GP, due to concerns regarding the political situation.

Well, you also used to have the awesome (imo) Canadian F1 GP until Bernie axed it, to make way for the newer circuits. A shame really, as it was a nice race, and I know most drivers liked it.
