Traction control is out, so there will be some interesting comparisons made between drivers. Kimi may increase his advatage over Massa, for example.
Who will have the Number "1" on his car? - Kimi or Massa?
It'll be weird to see McLarens with numbers 22 and 23, with their garage at the end of the pitlane.
BMW - it's about time they have a slump...they can't just get better and better! They might "do a Honda"
Honda, on the other hand, is due for an upturn in their performance.
Prodrive - are they in or are they out?
Hopefully, Red Bull will have a more reliable season - they woud have finished well ahead of the Williams this year had their cars lasted the distance more often.
Night race in Singapore - bring it on!
I can't wait for March 16 - I'll be there on the grand stand near the start-finish line - I've bought the ticket already

It'll be very long but i'll try to summarize it.
1 Alonso will return to Renault to partner Heikki.
2 Hamilton gets a new team mate and will get along with him.
3 Massa will be trying hard to win the title
4 Some of the current drivers will be out of a seat
5 We'll see a few new faces in F1, maybe nopt as main drivers but testing.
6 Will be mor interesting with the addition of a night race, assuming it gets approval

my thoughts and predictions:
1. Alonso goes back to Renault and makes the team a contender again. Kovalainen will be his teammate and he could challenge Alonso like Hamilton. Only difference this time Alonso would not feel that miserable as Renault wouldn't favor Heikki 100% like what they did with Lewis.
2. Hamilton's partner... I guess it's going to be Rosberg or Vettel, and obviously McLaren will start giving Hamilton superstar treatment but the partner will still be able to fight for contention just like Alonso.
3. Ferrari will improve their reliability. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put Raikkonen as their number 1 driver.
4. BMW Sauber promised they'd make a faster car next year. Hopefully it comes true and now with Renault also joining the race for the championship, F1 will be better than ever.
5. Finally, nothing would change with politics. As long as Hamilton is involved in a case, it will go his way.
It's too bad such a great driver like Lewis has to stay in McLaren. We can't blame him, he LOVED his team this year whereas Alonso did not. It is clearly seen that Alonso was isolated and was never helped throughout the whole season and Hamilton was given 100% attention as seen by his comments regarding the McLaren team. The moment Ron Dennis found out Lewis had talent, he left out Alonso to rot. Too bad Alonso fought back. Too bad his golden boy didn't win.

I think next year might possibly be a three-way battle for the title again or maybe even a four-way (including Massa). If Alonso stays on at McLaren, he'd probably not get the treatment that he wants; I think he'll go back to Renault eventhough he said that for now Renault is not his first choice. Renault will then be able to compete with McLaren and Ferrari strongly and Fisichella may retire from F1.

with no traction control it will be great and see the good drivers from the bad..Not sure about Alonso as he said He wont go back to Renault,maybe he is just saying that,but no way will be race a Mclaren..Masa will be higher in the standings though still think Kimi will take the title next year too...and hamiltion will be 2nd again..and Honda will imrove a lot and be one of the top teams..jenson will win a race or 2..Mclaren will struggle and appleal against there shitty race results and hopefully ron will retire

just to be different i will say IF Alonso goes back to Renault his partner will be Nelson Piquet Jr. Renault have already said they want him in a driers seat next year. if that is the case heiki will be gone, so hopefully McLaren will pick him up. i also reckon there are going to be a few more OFF's for the first few races when the drivers are getting used to driving with no TC.

My main focus is on traction control.
We may see an even larger gap between the good ones and the ordinary drivers....
