I feel that 2013 it could be Buttons year :ayatollah:

Not Button's year, I'm afraid, as he needs a 'perfect' car under him and it's not there yet. But he will win races (and I'm a big fan) ;)

Tough to see beyond Vettel (with the possible exception of Alonso) and that, for me, not good for F1 :(

Lewis is the 'dark horse' and the first couple of races will be intriguing :ayatollah:

Daya is a massive fan and his opinions on this would be intersting ;) :ayatollah:

Yeah I know Dayas a massive fan.

Thinking of Silverstone with the wife for my birthday in June but the ticket price!!!!

I can't stand Hamilton and I hope the move away from McLaren is a disaster

Yes, prices extortionate and I haven't enjoyed the British GP much since my hero Nigel Mansell retired (was lucky enough to play golf with him a few years ago) although I still go most years (no decision on this one yet) :)

Have you thought of going for the Qualifying? A bit quieter and lots of photo opportunities before watching the race live on Sky ;)

Agree with the Hamilton comment. Too big for his boots these days and we'll see a different side to him if things don't go his way early doors

I'm into all sorts of motor racing and will be at the Moto GP in August. I can recommend that. It's a spectacle and better value for money. You can get closer to the action, which suits me as I am into sports photography :) :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I was lucky enough to go to the Melbourne grand prix back in 2000 and that was my first and only motorsport event Ive ever been too.

With me the more I'm getting older the more interest I'm taking in Formula One.

In that case (as NIKE say) "Just Do It" ;)

A very good (and cheaper) alternative is Spa in Belgium sometime in August. My favourite circuit for viewing. It's stunning (even if it rains a lot!) :ayatollah:

The Mercedes been looking seriously fast in testing, wouldn't be Surprised if hamilton has an excellent start to the season and sets the pace, but the red bulls and McLarens to come into there own as the season progresses, the only thing that will let alonso down this season is his car, like last season the Ferrari won't be able to match the performance of the red bulls through a full season, alonso is by far the best driver, but his ferrari is just off the pace, Sergio Perez is my dark horse for the title, I'd expect the McLarens to put in a serious challenge for the constructors title and the drivers championship, with perez leading the charge

Love f1 :D been to silverstone the last 2 years (last year was a nitemare).

It's so difficult to predict this year as pre season testing hasn't really told us anything, I think alonso will win it this year, but am hoping for Hamilton, saying that aslong as vettel don't win it again ill be a happy man

I believe Hamilton's move to Mercedes is bout next year when the new engines comein, and any successes this year will be seen as a bonus. I think Mercedes will dominate the first year with the hew engines.
