Honda might well be a team to watch this season. They spent nearly the entirety of last season developing this car, and with a Merc engine they shouldn't have any problems with power or reliability. Shouldn't give Jensen any excuses not to do well anyway.

I'm guessing theres some kind of new regulation that means the cars have to have skinnier rear wings..
They look a bit silly!!

Renault is the team for me, although I will be really interested in how Honda do if they make it !

Barrichello was at 30-1 to lead the first lap.

button all the way, he desevres it after being sidelined by williams i think a few years back. Its funny how all the other teams hate it.

What are people's opinions on the Barrichello/Button team orders - favouritism or not? It seemed that Barrichello didn't get the best out of the car towards the end and Ross Brawn said that had he got the speed they were expecting it would have been very tight at the end, although it's easy to see why he may be suspicious after what he has put up with in the past.

Barichello's Middle sector wasnt fast enough for him to take the win, but i feel kind of sorry for him, he always been 2nd driver. I wouldnt have minded seeing Jenson Slow down at the end to let barichello past, even though Jenson has more of a chance of winning the season.

As A Jenson button fan of man years im glad to see him running at the front where he belongs again!

Looks like Ferrari are ready to throw their weight around:

The budget cap does seem like a terrible idea if it's not compulsory for everyone!
But it seems the ferrari "pram" is missing a few toys!!

[Jammy]

And Toyota's and Red Bull's. Given Torro Rossos links with RB and Ferrari I'm wondering what their stance is too? Personally I'd like to see the budget cap brought in, though I haven't looked at the FIA's proposals in detail. If these teams don't like the idea that it could create a 'two-tier' championship, why don't they just impose the budget cap on themselves?

Having said that, I'm all for F1 breaking away from the FIA. Despite all the cheating scandals, and the dominance of a select few teams in previous years, I think the FIA have done more to damage the sport than anyone else.

It seems Renault have joined the party too. I can see why they may not want a two tier F1 if it is true that some of the regulations can make the capped teams gain several seconds a lap advantage, but like Jammy said if they think capped teams will have an advantage then why not just cap themselves? Are they worried that without all the big money to throw around they might actually start (or continue) to struggle against smaller teams?
