well its really hard to tell.. with the performance increase throughout all cars. We will have to see if the new ferrari is dominating or not. But i guess Williams or Mclaren will try to win the championship this season.

But i think Montoya will give all he has got this season (not that he didnt last season).

Been waiting for F1 fo soo long.. but now its here, sundays are going to be fun again..1! :D

YAY! :D

It is possible that Button will finish in top 5 overall if the BAR proves to be as good as it is in testing. I am unsure of McLaren at the moment due to mixed testing and mixed feedback from Kimi and David. Williams will certainly be up there fighting with Ferrari, but reliabilty will play a huge part this season and Ferrari have a decent record over the last few years on reliabilty. I am also unsure of Renualt since they lost designer Mike Gasgoyne, remember, he designed the Jordan that finished third four or five years ago. This may have implications on how good the new Renault will be.

Down the bottom half of the table, I'd like to see Minardi challange for higher positions than last, but that depends on the new drivers as well as the car. Jordan, Sauber will be pretty even I think, with Jaguar possibly challenging the top 6. I still see Toyota as a decent team, but not consistant, so until a few races in it'll be hard to judge where they will be, possibly anywhere from 6th to 10th...

Driver wise, JPM, Kimi, Schuey, Schuey, Rubens are likley to be top 5, in any order. Challenging for top 5 places could also possibly be, DC, Jenson Button, Alonso and maybe even Trulli, if they and their cars are consistant enough.

Anyway, they are my pre-season predictions.

What I would like is for any McLaren, Williams or Renault Driver win the title and any of those teams with win the constructors.

    • 99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.
    • We collect the few carcasses we get (as long as drivers report them, as they should) and while we have our fair share, we don't have nearly enough crashes with deer "to paint the roads with deer carcasses" in Finland. Also, if you can't handle the risks, DO NOT DRIVE. I really don't want everything to be so simple and stupid, that I don't have to worry about my surroundings (I also hate Apple devices because they kind of decide everything for you and offer very little customization vs. Android). Most people probably encounter much higher risks and dangers in their daily jobs than they encounter on roads. Just a few weeks ago I twisted my anckle at work while walking and I haven't had even a near miss with an animal in traffic for many years despite driving something like 27000+ km/year (there were a couple of off years in there too) and seeing many deer, a few moose and many smaller creatures on the road. I find it extremely rare to have deer stumble directly in front of me - it happens, but in my opinion not nearly enough to warrant considering it super dangerous (I actually find it exhilarating when it does happen as it changes the daily commute and it actually requires me to stay focused). It is probably more common to have some idiot with their face glued to their phone wonder in front of you or a kid on an electric scooter disregard all traffic rules. Here in the Nordics we also have plenty of snow and that kind of f's up anything that relies on lines or other clear lane indicators. The one time I have (kind of) started raging while driving was when I had a loan car from service and it had lane guidance. That freaking thing basically felt like it wanted to hit every pothole and bump it could and I really, really freaking hated it (came close to ripping the whole steering wheel of, I tell you . Didn't feel safer at all, quite the contrary, and it distracted me from the road more than anything else I've driven before, constantly fighting that f'ing thing to go where I wanted it to go (no clear lines, a crack in the pavement, etc. and it became confused as hell and required more adjusting than any traditional car). Also noteworthy that globally the amount of people with driver's licenses is pretty low (like under 20 %), many countries have great public transport systems and many walk and cycle (even during the winter).
    • The snipping tool has come a long way. Every feature they add reduces the need for third-party utilities; in the past it seemed MS shied away from adding features to some in-box tools just so there would be a more robust third-party developer base. Now that we finally have boxes, circles and arrows, can they finally add text bubbles?
    • It's a custom built linear internal power supply which is isolated from the mainboard, it is very clean. External switching PSUs can be noisy and send that noise to the components. Linear external power supplies are expensive for good ones and are rare to see included with a device hence why they are sold optionally.
