A new season has kicked off and it brings new hopes to some people, while there are others who think that everything is going to stay the same. In my opinion, both parties have enough reasons to air their forecasts. Mercedes’ enthusiasts say that it will prevail over the rest. Those who root for Ferrariwant to leave their opponents behind this season. A group is going to fight for the third position down the stretch and there are others who will be pleased to just chalk up a few points in the races.

There are new motivations on the table, but they are long-term shoots, just like the return of Renault as a racing team after having bought Lotus. The performance of such new figures as Russian Daniil Kvyat, Dutch Max Verstappen or Spanish Carlos Sainz Jr. And there are some wannabes, like German Nico Rosberg’s – who has enough weapons to topple Lewis. The British pilot wants to keep on leading the race and grab another crown at the highest level of motor racing. In the meantime, Vettel not only wants to be on the podium but also race to the top spot in an effort to repeat the achievement of Schumacher, his fellow German racer.
