Don't worry den, come Australia Vettel will have found some way to fix the car so he is sitting on Pole Position.

There was an article on BBC Sport saying that the new rules and design of cars is ideally suited for Button. Unfortunately, as I went just now to find it on the site cannot find it any more. I was reading it on the train the other day though.

I'm really looking forward to the new season. I think there may be some surprises from the likes of Williams.. however, I do believe from what i've read and see it *could* be Hamiltons year. I hope so. i'd like to see him back up there, as for Vettel, every good thing has an end and i'm glad they aren't doing so well. Its boring, he gets to the first corner off her goes and Vettel wins.. boring.

2014 favourite Lewis Hamilton bidding to end 'lifetime' wait for second world title.

Yes that would be very nice.

I watched the qualy this morning, I do believe, although it is too early to tell yet, this could be Hamiltons year. I'm also, curious over Vettel, I don't think he is as the same calibre as drivers that have gone through rough times, I personally dont think it will make him. I believe he will throw his dummy out the pram so to speak. As for the new cars, I hated the noise at first, however, i've listened properly now and I love the "turbo whizz" they make. I also like the grainy noise they make.

All said, I think theres but too much negative points but I am enjoying having it back and especially now, I have SKY Sports F1.

The rule changes have done it.. look at the state of these cars. RBR were never there. Marussia couldn't even do a parade lap, Hamilton out, Vettel out.

We wanted excitement and we got it. But I was certain we wanted racing and not a game of who can make their car work because that's what is going to decide these races. Massa, Kobayashi out.

Bets on how many are actually going to see the flag? Vettel shouted down the radio, as much as I dislike the guy he has a fair point, this is ridiculous. Bianchi, Ericsson, Maldonado out. Fuel saving in racing. :/

Rosberg wins after Lewis Hamilton and Vettel retire.

Gets better and better today. Vettel and Hamilton both retiring, and now Red Bull have Ricciardo DQ'd for breaching fuel consumption rules. Red Bull say they will appeal and probably will win.

Red Bull say the sensors have been faulty ever since they were introduced. If that is the case, how comes other teams haven't been DQ'd or complained about it Christian Horner? Muppet. Just because RB aren't going to be able to cheat their way to a title this year they will moan about others cheating.
