The new cars are being unveiled over the next week or two and Martin Brundle reckons that Hamilton will win a GP in 2013 with Mercedes.

What I find really fascinating is that Mercedes have revealed their 1.6 litre V6 for 2014. It has a turbocharger that spins at...wait for it..125,000rpm!

Apparently they will be just as deafening as before, but at a higher pitch. I would not advise any spectators with loose fillings to buy tickets.

Turbos normally spin at approaching 10 times engine speed so that sounds about right. I think Brundle may well be right about Hamilton,and looking at Mercs future development plans,younf Lewis may just have been pretty shrewd.As always though,only time will tell.

Usual pre season hype, let's wait until they're on the track

[Varche]

ANd lets see how their team mates perform too.

When the flag drops the bullsh*t stops!

my monies on raikkonen next season wait and see

[albitz]

Mine too,if he gets a good enough car.Imo hes probably the second best driver in F1 at the moment,Hamilton being the best,and Alonso third.

[rob in gib]

just awaiting driver lists for the 4 days testing at Jerez early Feb, will be there as usual.

Have to slightly disagree.

Alonso and Raikkonen are prob the best all round drivers and would never bet against either them in a good car. Just look how well they did in car's that where at least 3rd on the grid last year

Hamilton is a good driver but to emotional and wreckless.

Vettel will do well, if not win the championship, he is good and will be in a Newhey car which every other driver/manufacturer has always had to compete against

Watch out for Sauber and Force India they will be making a leap forward this season although "iffy" drivers. Hopefully Williams will make a come back

My favourite drivers are Button and Weber. Good drivers who do not have their head's up their ar**'s

I am hoping for an even better season this year although pi***d it is on sky. Not willing to upgrade to see every race live, might get freesat HD installed to get around it

Remember you don't need to have Sports pack, just HD to get F1

Thanks for that but would have to u/g to HD, thats what I meant.

Currently running an HD box and at the moment dont see the point of the few extra channels I dont get in HD, apart from the F1 channel of course. Thats why I am considering Freesat HD.

Yes known thanks but one of the European channels showing live with radio 5 live commentary coming from another source

Anyway only considering - BBC coverage will do no matter what time as the lovely Suzi Perry has taken over Jake's position
