Lewis is the reason I almost stopped watching Formula 1. I won't argue the fact that he's talented. It's just his silver-spoon-fed attitude that ruins it for me. That was especially evident during the 2016 season. So happy to see his team mate take the championship away from him. Nico Rosberg worked his *** off to get it despite Lewis' tantrums.

His obsession with winning is a double-edged sword. It makes him the champion he is and it also makes him the less pleasant character he is when he fails to win. On balance I really admire him - a self-made champion who didn't have a rich daddy. I'd love him to win a 4th championship because I love the way he drives. Saw him at Silverstone the day Pirelli gave him that almighty blowout a few years ago. Man did he show some talent & balls to drive though the pack and end up 4th, in a race he would have won, but for the dodgy tyres. His genius is undeniable. Edit - and Rosberg only won last year because Lewis had more technical problems. On a level playing field, Lewis wins every time. I think most of us would have tantrums if our car kept breaking down. Thanks to TreeSemdyZee for his correction!

I do agree he is bloody fast and talented. Just his attitude towards other drivers, his teammate and his team, is annoying. |

Well, the new look will take a bit getting used to. Those wheels look huge. I am not too sure I like the shark fin. The teams that painted it black look best to me.

Just watching the first qualifying of the season. The cars look frighteningly quick, but I must say, the Force India colours.... PINK??? ew.
Edit - The colours of the HAAS cars are really nice.

The track temperature disadvantaged Ferrari. Would have been closer for poll if it was warmer.

Too bad Ricciardo didn't finish Q3. Top was pretty close Ferrari definitely has a shot, Hamilton will need a good start or Vettel will be all over him.
