Ahead of the new Formula One season, which begins March 20 with the Australian Grand Prix, here is a look at the 11 teams that will be competing and what can be expected from them in the coming 21 races.
Mercedes-GP
Drivers: Lewis Hamilton (Britain) and Nico Rosberg (Germany)
What they did in 2015
Second successive season of domination as they won 16 of the 19 races, claiming pole position 18 times, and both championships were retained, with Hamilton winning the drivers’ title for a third time with three races to spare in the United States.
What to expect this time
Strong favourites to do the championship double again, with Ferrari likely to be the only team who can pressure them. The main question is whether Rosberg’s late renaissance of winning the last three races of 2015 was the start of something more substantial for the German, or if Hamilton will reassert his authority and win a fourth drivers’ crown.
Ferrari
Drivers: Sebastian Vettel (Germany) and Kimi Raikkonen (Finland)
What they did in 2015
After their first winless season in 21 years in 2014, Ferrari returned to being a front-runner as Vettel won three times. While not a match for Mercedes, Ferrari, at least with Vettel behind the wheel, were best of the rest,
What to expect this time
Ferrari will be hoping to have taken a step up in performance to be in a position to push Mercedes harder in races, and not just have to rely on mistakes from the German marque to prevail. Vettel is good enough to capitalise on any victory chances that come his way, but after two poor seasons Raikkonen must raise his game considerably.
Williams
Drivers: Valtteri Bottas (Finland) and Felipe Massa (Brazil)
What they did in 2015
Finished third in the constructors’ championship for a second year in a row, but only scored four podiums compared to nine in 2014 as they struggled to match either Mercedes or Ferrari for raw pace.
What to expect this time
The power of the Mercedes engine at their disposal will always make them a threat, but unless Williams’s technical team have improved the aerodynamic performance with the new FW38 chassis their hunt for a first win since May 2012 is going to stretch on. This is a big year for Bottas, who must consistently beat Massa this year if he is to be considered as a potential prospect by Mercedes or Ferrari.
Red Bull Racing
Drivers: Daniel Ricciardo (Australia) and Daniil Kvyat (Russia)
What they did in 2015
Improved as season went on, but despite having one of the best cars on the grid in terms of aerodynamic performance, the lack of horsepower in the much maligned Renault engine ensured they were doomed to going a season without a win for the first time since 2008.
What to expect this time
Still stuck with Renault power, albeit rebadged under the name of new sponsors TAG Heuer, Red Bull are facing being limited again on power tracks. The duel between Ricciardo and Kvyat should be fascinating, and they will hope for more wet races in 2016 to highlight the impressive mechanical grip of their car.
Force India
Drivers: Sergio Perez (Mexico) and Nico Hulkenberg (Germany)
What they did in 2015
Were one of the form teams in the second half of the season as developments to the VJMO8 chassis transformed the performance, particularly for Sergio Perez, who finished in the top five in five of the last nine races of the season.
What to expect this time
Like Williams, the Mercedes engine will always make them a player on power tracks. If they can keep up momentum from end of 2015 then could be fighting with Williams and Red Bull, while Hulkenberg needs a strong year after being out-performed by Perez for much of the second half of last year.
Renault
Drivers: Jolyon Palmer (Britain) and Kevin Magnussen (Denmark)
What they did in 2015
Did well to get 78 points under the Lotus name, while struggling with financial problems off the track, which would lead at the end of the season to the team being taken over by Renault.
What to expect this time
Given their development of the 2016 car was hurt by their depleted finances, and having lost their best driver in Romain Grosjean to Haas F1, and they will use Renault power now rather than the proven Mercedes units, the signs really are not good. Throw in two young drivers in Palmer and Magnussen and this could be a very rough year.
Toro Rosso
Drivers: Carlos Sainz Jr (Spain) and Max Verstappen (Netherlands)
What they did in 2015
While they were frustrated by reliability issues, the team picked up 20 top-10 finishes between their young driver pairing, and Verstappen’s fourth-place finishes in Hungary and the United States were two of the drives of the season.
What to expect this time
Using 2015-spec Ferrari engines, compared to the Renault units they used in 2015, should give them better power, but the late completion of their car, due to having to wait to find out what engine they would have, may hurt them in the opening races. Verstappen was the breakout star of 2015, his challenge is to improve on that, while Sainz looks to come out from under his teammate’s shadow.
Sauber
Drivers: Marcus Ericsson (Sweden) and Felipe Nasr (Brazil)
What they did in 2015
Improved on an awful 2014, in which they scored no points, and, given their financial limitations, two top six finishes, both achieved by Nasr, made for an encouraging year.
What to expect this time
Will be hard for them to replicate 2015, given they are still low on funds, and a lot of their success was achieved thanks to other teams under-performing, and that is unlikely to happen again. Nasr was impressive in 2015 and will look to shine when opportunities present themselves again, while Ericsson must do better after struggling compared to his rookie teammate last year.
McLaren
Drivers: Fernando Alonso (Spain and Jenson Button (Britain)
What they did in 2015
Had one of the worst seasons in the team’s history as the wretched Honda engine ruined any hopes of being competitive, and they were flattered by their final haul of 27 points, with 12 of them coming in the attritional Hungarian Grand Prix.
What to expect this time
Well, it would be hard to expect it to be worse than 2015. With a year’s experience under their belt with the new regulations, Honda should have a faster, and more reliable, power unit. Given their car performed well on tracks in 2015 where good horsepower was not vital, Alonso and Button can expect to be back in the midfield fight, but only if Honda have raised their game.
Manor Racing
Drivers: Pascal Wehrlein (Germany), Rio Haryanto (Indonesia)
What they did in 2015
No points, but given they only came out of liquidation in February, the fact they made it to all 20 races, even if they did not leave the garage in Australia, was a tremendous achievement,
What to expect this time
Having Mercedes engines will improve them, and they have made changes in their management and technical department. Will still be likely at the back of the grid, but Wehrlein is highly regarded by Mercedes, and could be in a position to cause a surprise or two.
Haas F1
Drivers: Romain Grosjean (France), Esteban Gutierrez (Mexico)
New team for 2015
What to expect
Gene Haas’s team have had plenty of support from Ferrari in coming to the grid, and they should hit the ground running. Both Grosjean and Gutierrez are proven drivers, with Grosjean hoping this could be a stepping stone to a move to Ferrari for 2017, and some regular points finishes should not be beyond the team in their debut season if they can overcome reliability problems that reared their head in testing.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

Financial considerations before buying a property
Buyers should try to pay as much in cash as possible for a property, limiting the mortgage value to as little as they can afford. This means they not only pay less in interest but their monthly costs are also reduced. Ideally, the monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 20 per cent of the purchaser’s total household income, says Carol Glynn, founder of Conscious Finance Coaching.
“If it’s a rental property, plan for the property to have periods when it does not have a tenant. Ensure you have enough cash set aside to pay the mortgage and other costs during these periods, ideally at least six months,” she says.
Also, shop around for the best mortgage interest rate. Understand the terms and conditions, especially what happens after any introductory periods, Ms Glynn adds.
Using a good mortgage broker is worth the investment to obtain the best rate available for a buyer’s needs and circumstances. A good mortgage broker will help the buyer understand the terms and conditions of the mortgage and make the purchasing process efficient and easier.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
