2007 Season Predictions

[ykickamoocow 0]

Originally i was planning on posting this topic after the 2nd seat at McLaren was finalised but i am know thinking that McLaren wont annonce that until March 2007 so i have decided to create this topic now which is a whole month earlier than last seasons predictions thread which started in December.

Here is the 2007 grid as it currently stands.

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes

Mercedes

Fernando Alonso

Lewis Hamilton

ING Renault F1 Team

Renault

Giancarlo Fisichella

Heikki Kovalainen

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro

Ferrari

Felipe Massa

Kimi R

wow, you put Massa behind Fisi. I think most of that you have is right, Kimi will probably be Champ but if he cant get to grips with the car i think Ferrari might just make him be second to Massa. I think DC could finish in front of Fisi too. You have to remember that the engines for 07 will be the same as they were this year. that gives the advantage to Ferrari, it is the most powerful out there but since Red bull are using Reno engines it might just be down to Areo and since tries are the same as well, id give the Newey car the edge.

Also, nick and Kubi could well fight for 5th and 6th if BMW keep up the work. all in all here is how i see it.

Drivers Championship

1. Kimi R

I think everyone is going to be shocked at how cr@p Ferrari is going to be in 2007!

I predict that a lot of people on the forum will be made to look like muppets.

So are you two going to make your predictions or are you all talk.

[monza gorilla 1]

It's early yet, so for the moment I'm definitely all talk! Wait until we've seen some winter tests and I'll be ready with a spot on prediction sometime in February 07.

PS can a moderator please pin this topic like the 2006 predictions were pinned.

[monza gorilla 1]

Good idea.

And to show I'm not a cowardly pom, I'll post my early predictions later today.

1st Mclaren (led by Alonso)

2nd Honda (led by Button)

3rd Ferrari (led by Raikkonen)

5th Renault (led by Fissi)

I think kimi will be world champion, but we've got nothing to go on really to predict 2007 - for now i'll say it should be a good fight between the top 3 drivers, Kimi Alonso and Button. But I think kimi will have the best package to win it

I've been supporting Kimi for the last couple of years and I really hope he gets the title this year, he really deserves it! So Kimi for WDC and my constructor predictions:

1st-Ferrari(Led by Raikonnen)

2nd-McLaren(Led by Alonso)

3rd-BMW(Led by Kubica )

4th-Honda(Led by Button)

5th-Renault(Led by .... no one!)

I say we set up some ground rules.

1. all predictions are changeable based on testing results and news about the teams during the off season.

2. one month before the start of the season all contestants must present their final list.

3. After the first 3 races of the season all contestants are able to rebuild their predictions for a final time.

4. at the end of the season the person that was the closest to picking the field in the right order gets to feel that warm fuzzy feeling and being able to say I told you so for a week.

right now predictions are more based on this years performances and seeing how the rules will impact development and just the gut feelings you have about a team/driver. And thats all predictions are but its still fun to try and see the future. Its a pointless but fun exercise to keep us entertained through the off season, so lets not have this degrade like last years thread into name calling. thats all i have to say before it turns bad.

[ykickamoocow 0]

Agreed. I do request however that instead of editing your old predictions you simply create new ones as that means i can see how good each person's hunches are when i look at this thread during the 2007 season.

[monza gorilla 1]

1 Raikonnen

2 Alonso

3 Button

4 Massa

5 Fisi

1 Ferrari

2 McLaren

3 Renault

4 Honda

5 Williams (yes, really)

I will of course change my mind later today.

[Shane2 0]

Its a shame to see williams slide the way they have, after all that they have achieved Sadly F1 has became so commercial the Independant teams are struggling to survive. I hope their 2007 Chassis along with the normally reliable Toyota engines can start to turn them around again.

WDC

1. Kimi

2. Jense

3. Alonso

5. Renault

Webber has said that Alonso & Macca will dominate 2007.

Jarno has said that Ferrari will dominate 2007.

I think Webber is wide off the Mark & Jarno is Trulli on target with his prediction.

[BradSpeedMan 6]

I think everyone is going to be shocked at how cr@p Ferrari is going to be in 2007!

what on earth prompted you to say this?
