F1 2010 at midseason

So the 2010 Formula 1 season has managed to stay interesting with the drivers and constructors championships still being able to be won by more than one team and its drivers. The 5 drivers still in the frame for the championship may not have been who'd I've have predicted after Bahrain where it looked like Red Bull would be the biggest challengers to Ferrari.

The big question is whether anyone can catch up on Red Bull's technical superiority over the next few races, I think Button would be best served by a few more wet races where his smoother style helps him keep control. I think if I'm going to make a prediction now it would be Webber to win the drivers title and Red Bull the constructors championship.

Personally I hope Williams can have a bit of an improvement which looks possible with both cars getting into the points and I think that Schumacher needs to retire again as he's not really showing his best side and really showed his worst side when Barrichello overtook him in Hungary.

New Formula 1 Season approaches

The first race of the new Formula 1 season is on Sunday 14 March and I'm looking forward to it as the changes to the rules and shake up of the teams could make it very interesting.

The funny thing is seeing two teams that virtually line up as national ones with the British McLaren and German Mercedes, the team having both their drivers from their home nation. But of course things are not that simple as McLaren use Mercedes engines and Mercedes team is based in the UK. It looks pretty open with 4 former champions driving - Button, Hamilton, Schumaker and Alonso and plenty of budding competitors in other teams.

Personally I'd like to see Williams do better this season and I suspect that Red Bull will go well with Sebastian Vettel their most likely contender for individual honours.
