So I'm really into F1 this year. What do you think about this year? KERS is gone after only 1 year, and refueling is banned the first time since 1993!! It's a crazy season for sure.

Add to it Renault is gone and Lotus is back, not to mention Shumacher back.. and Button, Alonso on new teams!! Ferrari looks VERY good in the first race!

McLaren has that crazy air bladder under the wing contraption which does not seem to have given them much of an advantage early on. And Ferrari has mimicked wheel fairings out of the actually wheels which arguable might be giving them an advantage.

So much to discuss!! Your thoughts??!

I know most people in America know and care nothing about F1 but this should change! F1 is the most popular motorsport in the world and probably the 2nd most popular sport.

I was born, raised, and am living (for the next 3 months) in Kansas!! If I can become a diehard F1 fan anyone can!! It's truly fantastic. And with only 24 drivers, 12 teams, it's very easy to become familiar with all the drivers unlike NASCAR which has 60+ drivers. Familiarity is key to enjoying any sport. Not to mention F1 actually has corners!

USF1 didn't make it this year and that really sucks but the door is still open for 2011!

Is Kimi Raikonen still racing? I only pay attention when I'm visiting family in Europe so I just see a few races every year.

Certainly looking forward to the race here but its unfortunate that we can only see the races late (last racestarted on at 11pm locally, so almost finished at 1am).

Yeah can't wait for the Australian Grand Prix! I love that track because anything can happen. Bahrain was a bit boring, if it wasn't for Vettel's Redbull malfunction it would have been pretty dull.

Refuelling is now banned and the teams would be find a perfect ways on how to saving their fuel during races and the one problem is when the fuel tank is leak, i'm think that the driver has ended the race without finishing except on the last lap! Lotus is now back on track after more than decades when the Malaysians decided to build own team, formerly as 1 Malaysia F1 Team, but the Lotus F1 Team is a suitable name. Yet, this team brings the Malaysian name to the world.

Yup it's too bad neither Lotus car could even finished the race. Team principal was quoted saying they might be in a position to compete in 3 years! Still they are further along than USF1.... I'm glad Lotus is back.
