I'm a Button fan but loved the Schu era and the hype that goes with him.

Yeah but he didnt have any serious competition at one point to be fair as either he or his car was too fast. Its going to be different this time I suspect and will be interesting to see him 'mix it up' rather than run out in front. _________________Twitter Blogflickr

I'm hoping for a 3-wheeled Mercedes. Or one that reguarly decides it doesn't need fairly major components mid-way through a race. I'm thinking 4th wheel, rear wing, that sort of thing...

RedBull have a moan about McLaren's rear wing but are developing something similar. Taken from the Metro this morning  _________________ My Flickr PageNow with added ball and chain.

I gave up on F1 for a few years when it got boring with Schumacher. The clincher for me was when he deliberately took Damon Hill out in the a race at the end of the season.

I started watching again a couple of years ago when Lewis Hamilton won and then last year when Jensen Button finally won.

Yes but I think some teams pick drivers because they can get sponsorship from that country more easily with driver from there. It worked in the past.
