I would definitely get a wheel! I personally use a Logitech Driving Force GT in 2010 for £80 and it's absolutely worth it. Everything still works perfectly and I've used it a lot!
This is a picture I took of my setup a couple of years ago:
Basically a beanbag as my chair and I actually clamped the wheel to an old table (turned upside down as there's this tray bit on the bottom of it). I rest the pedals now against that TV unit thing (can't remember what you call it, sorry). This is actually a very similar seating position that you have in a go kart or even probably a single seater. Low down with the wheel close up to you and the pedals far away.

1996, Monaco, David Coulthard ;) -
Wow, thanks a lot Lee! Come on Chris we can do this! :P -

So now testing is over, what order would you place the teams in in terms of competitiveness? Obviously we don't know about fuel loads and there could be some surprises come Australia, but how would you order them?
1) Mercedes
2) Williams
3) Ferrari
4) Red Bull
5) Force India
6) Lotus
7) Sauber
8) Toro Rosso
9) McLaren
Mercedes are obviously going to still be the team to beat and I think Williams should be a solid 2nd place, but behind them it seems like it could be very close between Ferrari and Red Bull. Behind them though it seems even more exciting because I literally have no idea what order Force India, Lotus, Sauber or Toro Rosso will be in! The mid to rear of the pack this year is so tight. Unfortunately I have to put McLaren last due to their lack of testing and pace. When Manor hopefully turn up in Melbourne I think they could possibly be fighting McLaren at this rate, but who knows. -
It's obviously extremely unlikely looking at McLaren's testing, but if he could bag a points finish then that would be fantastic! -
What a shame, obviously more serious than people first thought!
Also thought I'd post up this awesome image of the new Williams!

In response to your questions:
What kind of things do you want to see on Twitter & Facebook?
Absolutely anything and everything that you can possibly do! Screenshots, behind the scenes, answering as many questions as possible, links to videos about your games made by the community, etc.
What do you want to read about on the blog?
Deep insight on new features on the games. Dedicate a whole post if needed to one awesome new feature. Show it off! Also various trailers, perhaps fan posts? The racing league spotlights and community spotlights were great last year!
What kind of videos do you want to watch?
Actual proper gameplay videos. From an F1 perspective, no one really liked the hotlap videos. The cameras changed way too much, they didn't give any true insight. I want to see actual gameplay with all the HUD, like 3 lap race videos, maybe the odd scenario, featuring as many different cars, drivers, tracks and game modes as possible. Developer Diaries too. They were SO GOOD for F1 2010 and I don't know why they haven't been made in the last couple of years. They're so insightful and interesting and the fans love them.
Do you want livestreams?
100% yes, or even uploads of longer stuff, like a look at the career modes, online, anything and everything.
Developer Q&A sessions?
Yeah, that would be great. Just answering as many questions from the community as possible.
Do you want to play a game with the devs?
Yeah that would also be epic!

F1 Race Stars is a lot of fun! I still sometimes play the iOS version when I get a chance and occasionally on the PS3 but generally I stick to F1 2014 more :) -
Wow, I was sure it was white and gold! -
White and gold without a doubt for me. -
Ha, just found out that I can react to my own posts (you know the disagree/agree/like/awesome/LOL things) now!
-
Well I'd prefer F1 mainly for drivers/cars but stuff like MotoGP/WEC/WSR is ok for tracks and corners. -

For anyone living in the UK, my music group are going to be back on BBC Radio 3 this Sunday at 18:15. We're performing live in Cardiff, performing about 9 different songs, so if you want to, do tune in!
We've got this opportunity because my choir are the only British choir to reach the grand final of European choir competition, Let The Peoples Sing, which is being held in Munich, Germany, later in the year! -
Yeah I knew he did that but with an F1 race seat available I wouldn't be surprised if he still ended up at Manor.
In other news, Lotus have signed Carmen Jorda as their development driver for 2015.
Obviously great to see another girl involved in a team's development programme but have you seen her GP3 results and times? Absolutely rubbish and in her three seasons she finished 28th, 30th and 29th with a best finish of 13th in Valencia 2012. Her next best finish was 17th.
There are waaay more other drivers who deserve that kind of position. -
Goodwood? -
Good for him, lets see what he can do in what will hopefully be a fully season. I would think that their other driver would be Alexander Rossi? Or perhaps Max Chilton could come back?
