Is anyone else looking forward to the new season of Formula 1? Do you think Verstappen will be able to defend his title or will Hamilton be able to get his 8th world title?

At this early stage, Leclerc is looking like the man to beat!

Amusingly, Hamilton is actually ahead of Verstappen in the Championship right now (such has been Max's unreliability). But it's George Russell who's in a distant second place to Leclerc!

I don't think it's to early to rule Hamilton out just yet - but Mercedes have to get on top of their issues quickly. If they don't, then there's no way they can catch up (and even now, I'd make Leclerc a firm favourite!)
 
I think this season will be interesting, we have 3 contenders. I don't think Hamilton can be dropped out that easy, if this bad streak continues until mid season then maybe we can count him out..

anyway, my hopes are still for Mad Max repeating the championship.
 
It's a shame that Mercedes haven't been able to produce a title-winning car this year but it's been getting better and better which is a good thing. It was great to see Lewis in the top 3 especially since it was at Silverstone.

The Zhou crash was crazy. That halo really did save him today.

 
Yes... the controversy when the Halo was first introduced feels like ancient history now. It's saved several drivers from potential death or serious injury - and today, it perhaps saved one more.

But, apart from that what a race it was. Sainz's first victory; Mick Schumacher's first points; and that close racing up front!
 
It actually saved two drivers today. I think there was an accident in the F2 race where the halo came in clutch and saved someone.

Very happy for Carlos and Mick!

Oh wow, I hadn't heard about that - but now that I've seen it, you're right :O .

It really is proving its value!
 
Never heard of it before but it wasn't helped by the fact there was a thing called a "sausage kerb" which sent the car flying up. I think they want to get rid of those next
