LET'S hope it lasts a little longer in the first F1 2017

I feel they will be up against it this season. Not going to be so easy for them. Bring it on....

[jonsie]

Many teams dominate for a few years but when other teams advance in technology and probably more importantly in chassis and body design then that is whatmakes it more exciting....but at the moment a driver can make a poor team average. Looking forward to this season....

I'm surprised wider tyres haven't been introduced before now. Every boy racer has them

It's a conspiracy to stop overtaking at Monaco. I have my conspiracy head back on today...

[jonsie]

As much as I love Monaco, it's really an awful venue. Not much overtaking, the race invariably won from pole or in the pits.

Yeah I know....
