While I'm excited about this season, I'm still thinking it will be more of the same like we saw last year with the Mercs, Ferrari, and Red Bull being the teams to beat.

Wish we could fast forward to next year, and the chaos that hopefully the new car design will bring.

(For newer fans)

2009 was an amazing year for F1. Major rule changes changed the look of the cars, but the "double-diffuser" loophole saw the former Honda team (turned into Brawn-Mercedes) dominate the 1st half of the season, with Button building up a huge lead. By the 2nd half of the season Red Bull had caught up with Brawn (speed-wise) and was catching up in the standings. Curiously, Button struggled and his teammate Barrichello regularly beat him towards the end of the season. Button hung on for dear life, but he won a surprising driver's championship for the formerly struggling team.

Then 2014 brought the hybrid era. Red Bull, which had dominated the previous four championships, suddenly struggled (and some would say Vettel was exposed), and Mercedes rose to dominance.

Hopefully 2021 will also have a surprise shift in form between the teams.
