Great idea Josh......maybe sticky this mofo since there's a couple of periods during the 2007 season where there's a three week lull (and a one month lull between races three and four) and this thread could get buried as a result.
At any rate, lots to look forward to this season - driver changes and rookies, Bridgestone is the only tire, frozen engine specs for a few years and MS has gone fishing (or karting). Speaking of MS, during his time in F1 he won an average of 6 races per season so that's a lot of points up for grabs now that he is gone.
My observations from winter testing and the race in Melborne:
-Ferrari looks very strong and they've got the pace to prove it
-McLaren (and more importantly Mercedes) gained some much needed reliability and look to be quick
-Aside from a gearbox gremlin, BMW-Sauber looks to be quick....I expect their pace to improve as the season progresses
-Honda & Toyota: get your shit toegther you big budget mofos!
-Super Aguri: (legal issues aside) could prove to be quicker than the factory Honda....critics will have a field day if does happen
-Red Bull II: Speed and Liuzzi have Ferrari power and aero by Adrian Newey so they better make good with this killer package (in theory)

Massa is still #1 man at Ferrari. I want him to win since Schuie basically stepped down for him.
Massa started dead last BTW, he had a gear box issues that dropped him out of Q1 and put him in 16th. He then had an engine change and started 22ed. He moved up quite a bit and would of finished ahead of Fisi had he not been held up by Button and had a lengthy stop.Leave a comment:

The Official 2007 F1 Series Thread.
I know there's a lot of people here who follow F1, and the 2007 season is here at last. I thought it might be cool to have a thread dedicated to following this year's season, as it seems to be off to a great start!
Looks like Raikkonen had a great day yesterday, starting out in the front and staying there for the whole race! Massa had his share of problems though, getting dropped farther and farther toward the back until he was in dead last.
I didn't catch the whole race but I did see about the last 20 or so laps. Should be a great season, I'm anxious to see how Kimi will do behind the wheel of the Ferrari, he's got some big shoes to fill and a large shadow cast on him by the legacy of Michael. BTW, who took his place with McLaren?
