So the time has come for the start of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship!

What's everyone's thoughts on this years Championship? Personally I think that there is every chance of being an open race for the title this year - Alonso's class is undoubted but will he be able to reproduce his Renault form for McLaren? Will Raikkonen succesfully fill the void left by Schumacher? What does everyone think of the rookies coming into the competition this year?

Here is a run down of the teams, drivers and calendar for the season, wasn't there an F1 Fantasy League set up on here last year? Maybe we could get one set up again if there's enough interest? Anyways, interested to see what everyone's thoughts are!

and of course i will watch the race tomorrow

haha gaz is a few mins quicker. merged them!

i think ferrari will be even better with kimi. he's just an extraordinary driver!!! with a much more reliable machine, just watch him fly!

Cheers for merging the topics Eve, I wasn't sure who had made it first - great minds must think alike!

If i'm pushed to name who who I think has the strongest chance of winning the title this year it would be Kimi! Great start for Lewis Hamilton too, 4th place in qualifying for your first ever F1 race is some achievement!

KIMI WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Hamilton..omgosh. I'm impressed. He was sooo close!

woooooooooooooooooooooooh damn you eve i wanted to make this reply

nice nice kimi great performance keep it up

I am still a Mclaren fan.

and Kimi is the enemy now.........

well played Lewis Hamilton.... his first race in forumla 1 and he comes 3rd. This kid has a good future ahead of him. Let's hope he does well along with his compatriot Jenson Button this season

he might even be the champion if Mclaren produces a good car.

When is the next race ? I hope Ferrari lasts thru it, i heard they might change the engine.

The next race is the Malaysian Grand Prix, which is this Sunday!

Ferrari are having a few problems with engine reliability at the moment, I think Massa had to change his engine rior to the first race in Melbourne? Fingers crossed they can pull through!

yes this sunday i cant wait.. i will get up early cause i dont like to watch revisions
i think kimmi or both ferrari's will be the top drivers but i also hope a good result for heidfeld

our three weeks awaiting is coming to the end finally. I wish the worst for ferrari, and would like to see the Mclaren cars on the top...

Three people tied on the lead in the championship now! It's still only early days, but I think we're going to be in for a very open championship battle this year!

although Alonso's performance was disappointing, it is still a good result for Mclaren in Bahrain...

Me and my girl go to the Canadian GP every year. This year I will be bringing her to the Italian GP for our wedding engagement.
Can't wait to see a GP outside of my country.

Peace and enjoy the season.

Looking forward to the race this evening. Shaping up to be a cracker.

Thats the thing I like most about the Canadian GP. Its on at the perfect time.

OMG what a horrible crash by Robert Kubica happened in Canada
It seems he is not seriously injured
I hope he is ok

he broke his leg

i guess you have to be happy with that considering what could have happened in that nasty smash

Yeah .. that was very violent crash, kind of a miracle that Kubica is quite ok

Today Kubica come out from Hospital and He isn't have a broken leg. That was a very bad situation for us from poland. Regards

Kubica only has a concussion and a sprained ankle
He is really lucky if you look at the impact.
This really proofs the safety of these cars nowadays.
He would have been killed if the cars still had been like the year Senna died

On first sight the Kubica crash looked horrific, thankfully he has only come out with concussion and a broken leg which is pretty amazing considering the kind of impacts that must occur when crashing at that speed

It was good to see Lewis Hamilton claim his first victory - as big a Ferrari fan that I am, it's always nice to see fellow Brits doing well

oh my god i could not see the race yesterday because the bad wheather here... so f**king s**t well
but i saw the crash on the news today... oh my god... wow thats so good for robert and the whole F1
that actually nothing bad happened

and wow again for what i have heard... winner hamilton.. but nick on 2nd

Great to see Hamilton claim his first victory yesterday hopefully the first of many

Hamilton is a great racer already, he is going to be one of the British Greats I think.... Well Done, his dad must be soooo proud, I like it when they interview and show his father, he looks dead chilled out usually, that is until he witnessed his son win his first podium No.1

Kubica was a very very lucky man, that crash was spectacular !

After the Monaco race, which McLaren dominated, I expected to see the two Mclaren cars on the top again in Canada but Alonso was a little bit unlucky. Fortunately, Massa was disqualifed from the race ..

damn Ferraris
