Formula 1: 2015 Season Preview

The 2015 Formual 1 Season is about to kick off, with the opening round of the series to be contested in Melbourne this weekend.

After last year's complicated rule change extravaganza, this year's F1 is relatively stable, with just a few detail changes to the sporting regulations.

There's been plenty of change on the driver front, though, 'the situation' evolving as these words are typed.

So, as the teams bolt-in the first of their four allowed engines, strap on the new nosecones and drivers choose their one allowed helmet design, it's time to have a look at what's in store for Season 2015.

Mercedes already look massively impressive.

The team had an amazing year in 2014, with their only nemesis coming in the form of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.

Despite the team's overall crushing superiority, in-fighting amongst the outfit's drivers meant a thrilling title chase as DNFs, crashes, mistakes and questionable "incidents" saw the championship lead change hands a few times.

Hamilton ultimately prevailed, thanks, in part, to his experience in a title fight and Rosberg's lack thereof.
