They've never been very good in rain- weather in Italy is too good. But then, Fiat and Maserati never did well racing in rain either from what I've heard.

Only when it's raining, over the last few races there it's been raining and the Ferrari's aren't cut out for rain

They were helped by weather at Melbourne- but the other teams will still struggle vs Ferrari. Still will help. I predict Ferrari won't do well at Sepang- they quite often underperform there.

I think it's a good thing that they got rid of the Team Orders because one of my favourite drivers is Barrichello and look what happened to him last season!

I think the new points system is a big improvement because it allows those that are usually in the lower places who manage to do a good days driving and get in the top 8 get some points, they would deserve them. Even Alonso scored points at Australia!

As for the new qualifying sessions, I think 1 flying lap is a bit harsh because good drivers may spin and end up starting the race last, but I think it's fairer on "lower" drivers because they get a chance to start on the first few grids if they have a good lap.

So, overall I'm pretty pleased with the changes and think that the season will be just as exciting as ever!

I don't really like the new qualifying sessions. It takes away a lot of the suspense the last 5 mins of qualifying had before when the likes of Montoya and Schumacher were making last minute laps for pole. I think a lot of team tactics will be gone now though which is definitely a good thing.

Qualifying gives false grids as they aren't allowed to touch the cars until the race. This way, qualifying is totally meaningless. The Australian Grand Prix was only exciting because of the changeable conditions.

Driver aids being phased out shouldn't really affect results too much. Most drivers have driven without aids before. It may cause the odd mistake but nothing major.

I'm sure there is something else but I can't remember. That's my opinions on things anyway.
