10 week's until lights out and away we go Down Under

Today marks exactly 10 week's until the first Grand Prix of 2014 Down Under in Melbourne, Australia. There are so many changes this season it is going to be absolutely fascinating to see which teams have got the new era of Formula One right.

It has been suggested this week that the manufacturer teams will have the edge this season, however we haven't even had the first test of the Winter so it is far to early to suggest who will be at the front by the time we get to Melbourne.

This time 10 weeks we will know who has won the first race of the season. The sport will reach a wider audience this year as for the first time in the sports history it will host a race in Sochi, Russia which is due to host the 2014 Winter Olympics next month. We will also head to the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the time since 2003.

Since then the circuit has been purchased by Red Bull who have revamped it. It was announced yesterday that the local authority in Austria have signed off on the circuit which mean that the race will certainly be on the calendar this year.

I am really looking forward to the night race in Bahrain. Having race's at night in F1 really adds to the spectacle of the sport.

We also have Kimi Raikkonen returning to Ferrari, a rookie in Kevin Magnussen at McLaren and it is going to be great to see how Daniel Ricciardo gets on alongside Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull Racing.

I would love to hear from you about this season. What are you most looking forward to in F1 2014?
