We are due for a competitive season. Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull will win a bunch of races and Williams will randomly pick up some weird rear end race, probably in Montreal or something.

If Massa wins a race I am going to burn this god drat thread to the ground (he won't, the four winning teams will be Mercedes, Red Bull, Force India, and Toro Rosso).

Massa won't win anything except repeat trips to the hospital because he already did the tearful farewell thing and the F1 gods will be enraged that he's going back on it

Unless the new owners have instilled some compassion in them, in which case the sport is dead to me

I hate Andrew Benson. Bald bastard.

Bold prediction: possibly in the middle of the summer Liberty Media will put into motion to Americanize (read: poo poo all over) the sport by introducing preliminary plans to draft an executive order to introduce what is (in)famously known as... the playoffs. Ross Brawn will resign. Todt will fight it. Money talks. We all formally change this thread into a WEC thread where, in-between races, we wax nostalgical(?) about 2008 and earlier seasons. At some point a real life meeting will occur where someone accidently(?) gets cum on them from another poster probably during an impromptu orgy after a heated Lewis vs. Alonso debate.

fag boy jim will be in attendance.

Lewis will win every race, clinching the championship by Monza, where all the tifosi will repent from Ferrari and become Lewis fans. He will also win last year's championship after Rosberg admits he only won because of a conspiracy with Charlie Whiting (who didn't punish his cheating) and Niki Lauda (who sabotaged Lewis' car). Article 50 will make Great Britain the most successful country of all time. The EU will beg us to come back, offering a new membership where we don't pay anything but make all the decisions, but we will refuse

Storm Doris update, wind is certainly up. Flights are being canceled, trains have speed limits, and high sided vehicles are only being driven by lunatics.

Edit: it's not relevant just because of the merc thing, last time we had winds this high the stands at silverstone got utterly trashed and it cost millions to fix it up.
