I just got here, so I can't really weigh in on everyone on this forum yet...
but I suppose there will be plenty of time...
Look, I’m a McLaren fan through and through, but I just read that Kimi was the fastest out there, pulling off 92 laps without a single engine failure. It makes me think they might have finally sorted their reliability issues, which probably puts them right at the top of the hunt for the Constructors' Championship...
I guess someone else will definitely be chasing them, likely putting everything they have into defending their titles, while those Ferrari underachievers are desperate to claw their way back to the front... though I keep hearing rumors that Ferrari is struggling with that V8 engine
Then you have BMW and Williams... both are trying to prove they don't need the other to succeed...
And I expect some personal vendettas to pop up too... there are enough new faces looking to make a name for themselves...
With a budget like Toyota's, they really should be in a league of their own, but apparently, money doesn't help when you can't recruit the right people to build a decent car
As for Barrichello, I don't think we can judge his talent yet since he's never really had the chance to drive on his own terms; we'll see how he handles things now that he actually has some freedom. And Ralf? He was never really a driver to me... he just rides on his brother's coattails (not that I wouldn't if I could)🤣
I've already mentioned that Fisichella irritates me, so I assume Alonso will naturally outperform him, mostly because I respect Alonso (regardless of the fact that he's joining McLaren)😉
The guy has already shown what he's capable of this season...
I am expecting a massive rivalry (I'm not even sure how to spell rivalry 🤣)
between Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso...
And I honestly can't wait to see Barrichello overtake Michael Schumacher... or better yet, give him the finger just like Juan Pablo Montoya did "that" time🤣 there you go, for all the years to come🤣
