I'm liking the budget capping, should make it interesting!

Interesting, I personally cannot wait for the season to start!!

Interesting, I personally cannot wait for the season to start!!

neither can I, hoping for a really close season - lets hope the rule changes have closed the field up and that we get some surprises etc. Coverage being back on the old BBC is a bonus too!

Should be good

I have read somewhere that the Brawn GP car is surprisingly quick ,would be nice to see an underdog mix it with big guns also Mclaren claims there new car is too slow ,hope BBC coverage is good ,no more ad breaks ,remember when ITV went to a break couple of laps before chequered flag in a really exciting ending ? If racing is poor i will just catch up on sleep instead

[Simon T]

yeah it's supposed to have some pace the Brawn car. `going to be a really interesting season opener!

if it's boring i tend to have a snooze too

[bullett]

not sure about the poins change thing yet but it may be good for makng them race to the end.

i too have heard good things about the brawn team but it doesnt suprise me as they were working on it a long time back and ross is spot on.

[gaz m]

changes wil be good.... the driver with most race wins is world champ at the end... it will make drivers not sit and be happy just for a podium but to go for the win.... I personally think it will be one of the best years to date. no adverts.... more even with car changes and a few of the lesser team are looking very quick so far...

and now Todt leaves Ferrari...

im not convinced with the number of wins thing, a driver can go out and win half the season then sit back and trundle around at the back of the grid for the rest. points means that if there are 3 or 4 still in with a chance they all keep racing to the very last race. ie last year!

Only comes into effect when there's a tie does It not? (only flicked through It)......

wish they'd make their minds up on this scoring system:
