DEAR BERNIE: from Excited of F1 Fandom

Counterfeit correspondence from a (parallel) F1 universe...

Dear Bernie,

So the new season is just around the corner! I really think this is going to be a good one - a Clash of the Titans, no less. As to who will prevail, I have a hunch for Ernando Falonso, The Spaniard of Prancing Horse. Team Horse have developed what could be a real thoroughbred of a car for 2010, and after a few in-between years this is surely a massive season for Falonso. But outclassing plucky team-mate Melipe Fassa – The Brazilian of Prancing Horse – will be no easy task. Nor will living up to the legacy of The Great One – The German formerly of Prancing Horse. Talking of The Great One, perhaps there will be just a little bit too much ‘old’ in the old master for him to claim yet another driver’s title. Still, something tells me that his team-mate over at Team Germany, Rico Nosberg, is going to have his work cut out to keep up. Meanwhile, expect a strong showing from Team GB – especially if Hewis Lamilton and Benson Jutton can avoid focusing too much on each other. Then there’s Vebastian Settel and Wark Mebber of Team Energy Drink – they will be looking for wins too. On top of which there might be a couple of dark horses. Perhaps even comedy back-markers. And, we hope, racing prevailing over strategy. This is going to be a fantastic season. Isn’t it? Anyway, I’ll write again soon.

One can't move for excitement at the upcoming season. Last year was an odd one but the previous 2 years were thrilling, unpredictable with the drivers' going down to the last race. My worry is that Alonso in a Ferrari is going to be a cut above the rest this year and it will be, paradoxically, the least competitive season since Schumacher's retirement. And Schumi, for all his talent, was never a great joy to watch...

Look out for Kobayashi!

Watch Rosberg surprise a few...

Dear Wim,

Did you avoid mention of BMW Sauber Ferrari due to Kamui Kobayashi? Or should I say Kamui Kobayashi.

Kind regards,
