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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
