My predictions this year:

Hamilton takes championship, Seb takes the silver, Button takes bronze.

And my gosh, what was Ferrari thinking on that nose cone?!?!? ROOOOOAAARRRR

I actually think Mercedes may have a shot at it this year. At least I'm hoping... sort of. I'd love to see Hamilton get another one too.

I think Nico and Schuey will be more competitive than they were last year, but that's not saying much. Massa and Alonso will be trying to sort out their chassis, and trying to figure out how to hide the face of that thing without losing downforce.

Hamilton and Vodafone McLaren are thirsty. I think they've edited Seb's car enough to render it useless, apparently they've changed something about the ehaust routing to reduce downforce. Could be a myth, that one.

Last but not least, RBR cars are the only ones I've seen with oval intake opening. If we get a third championship in a row, it's because of the oval opening. Everyone else is rocking the triangle.

Vettel has been my driver of choice since he started, and courtesy of the Infiniti partnership, I'm heavily supported in my enthusiasm at work.

Man, the new technical regulations regarding cockpit and nose height are creating some seriously ugly step nose designs. At least McLaren managed a way around that and they're cars still look good.

I'm hoping they run as good as they look. JHM2K, I respectfully disagree with your choices, however, as Button out drove Hamilton by a wide margin last year. He did a far, far better job of overtaking in several races, and I think he's a much calmer, much cleaner driver all around.

HEY!
we don't speak ill of the Great Lewis Hamilton, especially while praising the lame Jenson Button.

Lewis did have a miserable year last year, but still managed a decent season whilst being taken out by his teammate @ the Canadian Grand Prix

I'm sorry, he was taken out by himself with that crazy move against the pit will in a torrential downpour! And if Michael Schumacher gets in front of Lewis, Lewis is stuck while Jenson just comes rocketing up from behind the German and blows by him.

Going back to Canada for a moment, that was the drive of the year by anyone, in any car. Heck, it was probably the drive of the decade!


Besides, I only have a Jenson Button McLaren team hat to wear this season.....

LOL indeed!!!!

I'd love to run the Dragon but it's what, 1500 or more miles away? And while I actually relish the thought of a long distance road trip with the Crossfire and the opportunity to a) hook up with a bunch of fellow Crossfire owners, b) run the Dragon, and c) make you understand the awesomeness of JB in person, it's just not in the cards for me this year. Bummer.

If you find driving to North Carolina is a bit to far then consider flying into McGhee Tyson Airport only 51 miles from the Fontana Lodge where we all stay.
Nice small airport with rental cars available.
Fly in and rent a car and drive just 51 miles to the lodge and join in on all the fun.
There are always passenger seats for you to ride in and usually someone will put you in their drivers seat.

Airport link: Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport

McGhee Tyson Airport
2055 Alcoa Highway
Alcoa, TN 37701
