    I hope BMW can improve their car enough to really go after Ferrari and Mclaren/mercedes next season.

    I'm curious to see where Alonso goes, if he does end up leaving.


    BMW had a very good year

    I dont really care who it is, but I would like to see another team give the Ferrari and McLaren teams a run for the money

    so if you were Mclaren, who would you rather have, Hamilton or Alonso?

    Me too.
    I checked today and tickets aren't on sale for anything past the first four races yet. I imagine they'll sell out really fast though, leaving us poor chumps sitting on a straight away or something.


    actually I checked this year and there were decent seats available two months before the race

    some packages will likely be available $1200 and up for the weekend not including flights, but including 3 day tickets and decent hotel.

    Expensive weekend thats for sure.

    If I was Mclaren, i'd leave alonso and keep Hamilton. but if I was ferrari I'd leave kimi and bring alsono on the team. Alonso in a Ferrari would be great.

    Also Next year the F1 cars will not be allowed Traction Control. That means guys like Massa,kimi and hamilton are gonna have some trouble driving those cars. we'll that's my guess.

    I wouldn't want Alonso in a Ferrari in a million years. Skilled, yes. Class, no.

    @ Get_Right - that is definitely an expensive weekend :P

    What's the story with Ralf anyway? Not that it matters too much, as his claim to fame is his family name...but still...

    I like Alonso, he showed so much passion this year, I liked that he was ready to do whatever he could to beat hamilton.
    ---

    Ralf is out of Toyota and who knows whos gonna take him, all I know is that his huge payheck is gonna drop probably by half.

    Another person to really watch next year, Kubica. very very good.

    I liked him at renault, but I got the feeling he was not a very good team mate this year.

    We shall see where the cards will fall for all parties.

    My family does some work for the honda F1 design team (wife is Japanese), so Id really like to see them rebound after a terrible year. They win I win, so Im a bit biased. Perhaps they can get the testing machines calibrated andworking BEFORE the season starts.

    Think we could get a group discount if we put together a group for Canada?
    I like that idea.

    Alonso is back with Renault, and Fisichella company are out.

    my schedule is always subject to change, but they are pretty easy to get rid of, so we pulled the trigger.

    I figure there is a better chance of me actually going if I spent the money on tix, so I pulled the trigger.

    kimi
    hamilton
    alonso

    all on different teams, should be great year

    I'll have to make a stop on St. Catherine's St, grab me a red t-shirt!

    I definitely want to go, and will as soon as I can afford..but I went a little overboard on Xmas pressies, and still need winter tires....

    I will stop on st catherines for more than t-shirts ;)

    Trust me I know-I put em on the credit card-Ill float the interest until I decide if I can go.

    I will spend as much on race weekend as I would on a week-long vacation

    what can you do?
    If you live in North America, this is really the only reasonble chance to see a race in person. European tickets are even more!

    Yeah the credit card is where mine'll be going too, but that's where the christmas pressies went :P
    I will just hope the tix don't sell out too fast.
