So now that testing has begun, and that the cars are being unveiled it's time to start looking forward to the new season! In 34 days 7 Hours and 37 minutes (not that I'm counting down or anything) the 2011 FIA Formula 1 Season will get underway at Bahrain's International Circuit in Sakhir, which will this year revert back to the old layout.
Once again whilst everyone else will be testing their new cars out before they arrive, Hispania will be hoping for the best when the race weekend gets started - possibly not the best idea but when you've only got one driver I guess you have to prioritise!
Here is (as it stands) the teams and their drivers for this season...
Red Bull - Sebastian Vettel & Mark Webber
McLaren - Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button
Ferrari - Felipe Massa & Fernando Alonso
Mercedes GP - Nico Rosberg & Michael Schumaker
Renault - Robert Kubica & Vitaly Petrov
Williams - Rubens Barrichello & Pastor Maldonado
Force India - Adrian Sutil & Paul di Resta
Sauber - Kamui Kobayashi & Sergio Perez
Torro Rosso - Sebastian Buemi & Jaime Alguersuari
Lotus F1 - Jarno Trulli & Heiki Kovalainen
Virgin Racing - Timo Glock & Jerome d'Ambrosio
Hispania - Narain Karthikeyan & ???
So with some new drivers, new rules (adjustable rear wings, the return of KERS, F-duct ban & shortened shark fins), new tyres and lots of improved design aspects it should be another unforgettable season....
What are your expectations?
