The 2004 season starts this Sunday, there are new rules, new cars & new drivers.

So, has anyone any thoughts on how it might go? Another Schumacher title? Raikkonen to fulfil his potential?

I thought the 2003 season was much better than 2002 and hope this year will continue that trend - no 'launch control' & only being allowed one engine per race should make things interesting.........:)

If you ask me another Schumacher title, but I have a feeling the Montoya could give him a good challenge.

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

If its yet another M Shumacher title i wont bother watching formula 1 ever again, its getting boring with the same person wining each year :zzz:

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

I think Montoya will be out to win it too, the interesting thing is how his intended move to Ferrari, next season, will influence his 'relationship' with Schumacher on the track.

The other issue at the start of the season may be how the new Ferrari & new Williams compare - the changes to the new Ferrari are allegedly less radical than those to the new Williams, so reliability may be a factor?

I'll be watching F1, qualifying runs from 02.30 on Saturday morning but if your still inspecting your eyelids for cracks at that time it's repeated at 13.30.

:blush:well spotted that man - head hung as instructed tallboy:pp

@ Dr A - I'm not sure if I'm going to like them running both qualifying sessions on the Saturday, we'll see...........- think I'll be going for the re-run, though:)

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

montoya is the one this season , mind you , keep an eye on alonso , i reckon we will see very good things from him this season :)

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

Renault have lost some of their advantage with the removal of launch control - but Alonso did have some cracking drives last season:)

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Raikkonen, seeing as he ran Schumie so close last season?

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

F1 used to be good until they brought in all the crap laws and regulations. imho

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

At least they've removed launch control this season. Now all we need is rid of traction control and the gear assistance. There are too many aids on cars these days and it means there aren't many errors which = hardly any overtaking. Remove the aids and hopefully we'll see racing like we used to, just abit faster.

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

I think taking away some of the driver aids is a good thing, I actually prefer watching CART or Indy (on street circuits, anyway) as they seem to be more about the drivers skill, than a 'battle of the gadgets'.:)

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

F1 is ok, but for the most exciting racing you can't beat World Superbikes or MotoGP, just my 2 penneth!!

Re: Formula One Motor Racing
 

definitely go along with that :tu:
