I strongly wish for four teams, i.e. Ferrari, McLaren, BMW and Renault, having equally competetive cars, all fighting for the wins.
Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen, Kubica, Alonso – when was the last time we had 5 guys fighting for the championship, huh?
1981

I just hope we won’t see a repetition of 1998, when one team took advantage of the technical changes in F1 and dominated the field :/

Overall we are very happy with the testing, particularly with regard to the high reliability of the new car.

If they can maintain last year’s reliability they should be just fine. Why didn’t they release the lap times as no-one else is testing in Valencia?
