Fuel and tires have always been a deciding factor in F1. With the cars now having almost no downforce (+more torque), its more about driver skill then before. It isn't just me saying this, most of the drivers have been saying the same thing. Look for a lot of guys to be spinning out and losing control this season. People with raw driving skill like kimi, Hamilton and Alonso will have a huge advantage.

All this talk about cars being slower isn't really true either. Considering the format and engine is brand new, the cars have been going quite quick. They'll only get faster over the years so expect them to out perform the V8 units someday.
