F1 2009 begins…

After a dramatic end to F1 in 2008, a new season begins with a whole new lot of dramatic changes to the sport. Firstly cars are now uglier, cars are not that powerful as previous ones, no more threaded tyres, an additional system called KERS (something like NOS) installed on some cars and much much more. The changes are taking place to accommodate the economic situations by reducing cost and spending which is actually a good thing, secondly the change is making the sport more a little bit more interesting like more overtaking maneuvers thanks to the KERS system, however not all cars are fitted with it? But anyway most of the top 4-5 teams have them installed that makes it interesting for me.

The most surprising news on the paddocks is the McLaren team facing problem with their car during winter testing which brought Hamilton to the F1 halls of fames, is this is ploy to fool people or is this really real? Will have to see in this weekend.

Team that i will be betting on to win in 2009 – Ferrari

Driver that i will be betting on to win in 2009 – Kimi or Massa

Ferrari's F1 2009 F60 (Way uglier compared to last year’s’ car, thanks to the bigger front wings and shorter back wings)

Rumor has it Brawn’s new team BRAWN will be the best newcomers on the grip. But we will have to wait till the first race to see. Surprisingly Brawn’s car looks pretty good.

Hamilton’s McLaren Mercedes has a lot of catching up to do
