Yes there will be a big change next year. Haas will be constructor's champion and Grosjean World Champ. You heard it here first.
(I'm pretty sure someone put something strange in my coffee this morning.) :eek:

I just can't see Ferrari dominating in the current political climate. It needs restructuring. It's possible they may fluke it and come up with an Great car but I find I highly unlikely given the negative environment which currently exists there. Ratatouille needs to go and I don't think Machionne sitting in on engineering briefings helps anyone either. Next year will be either Mercedes or Red Bull. Mind you, the departure of Lowe from Mercedes may have a long term affect before James Allison comes on board and gets up to speed. Mercedes had the best chassis and Engine over the last three years. Whether or not that continues vet much depends on the impact of Lowe's departure.
I'm just getting a gut feeling that the powers that be are trying to reduce the Merc advantage and the cynical side of me thinks it might even be someone else's turn.
Yes, you are probably right... and in my mind this seasons new regs look to be playing directly into Red Bulls's area of expertise. The first of Max's WDC's? :O
Just really hoping that we see a lot closer competition between the top 3 teams than what we have had in recent years.
I´m glad that Bottas only got a one year contract. This means that Mercedes are after Vettel WHOs contract is up at the end of this year, This means that Kimi will drive for Ferrari 2018 (likely).
And, the choice of Bottas will hand Lewis one Moore WDC easy this year, boring.
Hoping that Newey can work his magic, to enable that terror from Holland to give Mercedes a fit.
