Formula One Merry-Go-Round

Alright! The so-called 'worst-kept secret' of Formula One is not a secret anymore. My favourite F1 driver Fernando Alonso is going to Ferrari next year. This sparked the start of a driver 'merry-go-round' among the F1 teams for next season.

Today, the man to replace Alonso at Renault has also been revealed. He's Robert Kubica, who was forced to look for a new team after his current team, BMW, decided to pull out of F1 after this season.

And those are two confirmed moves to date. But all the signs point to Ferarri's Kimi Raikkonen is moving to McLaren to partner Lewis Hamilton.

Wow! If that turns out to be true, then next year will surely be a blockbuster year for F1. We will have the top 4 drivers (in terms of driving skills) driving for the top 2 teams! The 4 drivers I mean here are Alonso (Ferarri), Fillipe Massa (Ferarri), Hamilton (McLaren), and Raikkonen (McLaren). F1's biggest rivals Alonso and Hamilton can once again have a 'bloody' fight for the driver's championship. Haha! Also let's not forget the 2 drivers that has turned F1 around this season: Jenson Button (Brawn GP) and Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Racing). For sure they will also be in the hunt for the driver's championship.

Don't forget, next year we will also have our own Malaysian team in F1, called Lotus 1Malaysia F1 Team. Okay... No matter how many tax-payers out there grumbling about the government burning their money in this sport, I'm fully behind the government's decision to join this sport. Simply because I will finally have a team to cheer for next season! Hehe... Perhaps I'm saying this because I don't have to pay any tax right now. But hey... who cares? Since I ain't paying any tax, so just enjoy watching a Malaysian team in F1 lar! From the viewpoint of an F1 fan, this is just gonna be exciting. >.<

Haha! Although this season hasn't ended, I'm already looking forward to next season.

Anyway, here are some of my blind predictions for next season's F1:

~ Alonso to pip his deadly rival Hamilton to the world title.

~ Raikkonen once again had a bad year and loses his passion for F1, then walk away from the sport to join rally racing

~ Lotus 1MF1 to finish ahead of other 3 new teams.

~ Fairuz Fauzy to drive for Lotus 1MF1.

~ And his partner, one of the three drivers below:

Alex Wurz
