Could be a good season, from what we saw in the first Barcelona test I'd say all 11 teams will be able to score points this year.
Even the backrunners?
I guess the smaller field will help there too.

Thanks for the heads up. Will hopefully catch some of it.

I love the comparison. This will easily be my favorite car of 2016, although it doesn't hurt that I like the driver, too.
Wow. That is sharp as all hell.

Yep. Pascal Wehrline was able to lap in the 1:25's around Barcelona in testing, when Stevens qualified in a 1:31 last year. Now the track is faster in winter and you get to use the soft, super-soft and new ultra-soft tyres in testing but there was never a chance in hell of a Manor doing a 1:25 under any circumstances with any tyres last year.
I don't think it's going to get them into the middle of the fight but the gap between Mano and everyone else is going to be measured in tenths not seconds, if we get an unusual race they'll have a very good chance to score points.
As for the field, remember it's bigger this year than it was last as Haas has joined and we're up to 22 cars again.
As for the Penske livery, Montoya and Power will both run that livery this year as it's a Penske Racing 50th Anniversary livery.

Not Motorsport as such but I'll be hoping to get into the 11 seconds soon in a Newage 330bhp Subaru WRX. (Not a time a 330bhp STI or Evo could manage!)

Nice. That will be a good change of pace.
And lol oops. The field feels smaller as written above. But good...I prefer a larger field.

Big weekend ahead, Australian GP, MotoGP and the Sebring 12 Hours. I won't bother with the Aus practice times, it was very wet and half the cars didn't even go out.

I really wish we got live coverage of the V8 Supercars from Australia. Probably the best touring series in the world, right now, but all we get is a week or two delay coverage on CBS Sports.
Another season holding out naive, dim hope Rosberg can pull out a title
Also hoping McLaren used last season's year long test session, (and off season) to whip into shape. That was like having needles shoved in my eyes, I hope for their sake the team is greatly improved, I can't stand another season of seeing Alonso like that.

Well that does give me hope. Also makes me excited!
