I remember the speculation about Honda's first earth schemed car and it was fabulous!
It was slow enough all season that you could really take in all the sponsors and beautiful carbon work. Where the other cars were so much faster that it was just a blur... Now thats bad publicity for them!
On topic: yea, speculation is pretty much what we have until Michael punts somebody off track during practice citing "they failed to yield to the blue flag".

Valencia: Day 2
As of a half hour ago: Massa( ..11.7), KOBAY (...12.0), Hamilton(..12.5) in 1,2,3 position. While this is just "showen off the stuff" time, one can definitely say Sauber "BMW" has a competitive car; performance at full fuel loads will be interesting.

He is the "tom brady" rule of F1, if he had to play by the rules that everybody else has then he would have received numerous penalties... But whats good for Bernie is good for F1, and Shumacher is good for bernie.

question for you guys, i got my tickets to the australian GP from www.grandprix-tickets.com only when i completed the order, the confirmation email said my lanyard and tickets would be mailed to be via fedex 7-10 days before the event. only problem being i'm leaving precisely 5 days before the event.
has anyone ever ordered tickets from them before, and can i count on the tickets getting to me before i leave? its gonna be hella expensive to 3-night the tickets to australia if it doesn't get to me in time.
it gave my the option of changing the mailing address to the location i'll be staying at in australia. i may have to call and do that, only we are changing hotels a few times and honestly i don't trust a hotel clerk to hold my tickets for me (especially since i'm flying halfway around the world for a race

New Ferrari seems pretty fast... I know we don't have any idea of fuel loads but they've lead every day so far.
Sauber seems pretty impressive too. How awesome would that be if like Brawn last year, there car is quick and able to win races after BMW pulled out...? The irony kills me...

Top 5 drivers in their first full season right? 
Actually, I was pretty impressed with his limited performance late last season, but I just don't see him finishing that high in the points this year. There are 8 really good drivers in what should be noticeably better cars than what he will have to work with this year, so even if he's great, he's going to be bringing a water pistol to a gun fight....so to speak. For example, it's not like McLaren has a subpar driver like Kovalainen, or Mercedes has an aging Barrichello, or Ferrari has an unmotivated Raikkonen. Those teams have retooled and solidified their driver lineups to equal that of Red Bull, and all four teams are just going to be too strong this year. Which will be at the top of the hill at the end I do not know, but it's without a doubt going to be one of them.
