Well, it is time again...to another boring year of F1. 
At least for the first time in this decade there will be no defending champion, since Rosberg decided to leave. And with the rule changes, who are probably the biggest I have seen since 2009, will make it more promising than last few years, I think. So what is going to happen this year? Who will win the championships?

Honestly, even though Hamilton will probably win it all, there should be a big question mark out of who to stop Hamilton. Having seen some laps with the new big tyres, that are coming, it seems that it is all about beating the clock on most circuits. As I see it the winner will have to be the best Qualification driver throughout the season, because of the big significance of making Formula 1 even faster in pace.
Only thing that makes me wanna see it, is Magnussen and Grosjean fighting it out between each other, whether it is for points or just for getting the lower positions

I hope the title fight will be close together and not like the Mercedes domination last years. If Red Bull and Ferrari can make a good chassis with the can hopefully challenge the Silver Arrows. Also looking forward to the Hulk at Renault.

I wish McLaren and Honda finally make a good car for Alonso to win his third title. |

Making predictions pre-testing with such a set of rule changes is equivalent to rolling a dice. So my prediction: Kvyatt for Drivers and Haas for the Constructors (predictions generated thanks to random.org)
2nd place will go to Sauber 2 and 3rd to Vettel. 2nd team will be McLaren and 3rd for Torro Rosso.

How can you not like the Dice prediction  When Kvyatt and Haas turn up and crush the first test you'll be sorry!

I just hope that Renault can build a car good enough for Hülkenberg to achieve great results, their last year wasn't very promising

If you miss F1 racing, I have a torrent with all F1 races from 1978 to 2016! They aren't mine, it is from this awesome channel! I recommend to not download every single race, though, because it is 1 TB, take some few seasons.. 
If you want to see some races without the silly borders on YouTube or FOM taking them down..so here is the link!

And in more shocking news, Valtteri Bottas will drive for Mercedes in 2017, and Felipe Massa comes back from retirement (maybe the shortest in F1 history) to replace him in Williams.

Shocking? This has been knowing for like a month or so, and we were just waiting on the final contract details to be ironed out. Bottas was the only driver going to Mercedes and Massa was the only replacement at Williams.
I hope the numbers come out on what discount Williams haggled for the engine, that saving could really boost them in other areas and bring them back to 2015 performance level.

Shame about Felipe Nasr getting thrown out of Sauber. He was the reason that Sauber got a point.

He's also the reason Manor went into Administration, so good riddence to him!
