Silver_Arrows 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 McLaren and ferrari will continue to dominate, hopefully with McLaren coming out on top with Heikki taking the WDC Renault to get back to winning form, but I do not feel they will have the ultimate speed to challenge for the titles Honda to continue to suck, prompting jenson to do another one of his contract moments Red Bull to improve reliability but still lack the ultimate speed to move out of the midfield Much of the same from STR, Toyota, Force India, and Super Aguri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BRMC 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 2008 will end: WDC -Raikkonen 2nd Kubica (I like the kid) 3rd Hamilton 4th Heidfeld 5th Massa 6th Alonso 7th Button or Rosberg (most probably Nico if Honda doesn't fix those cucumbers) But if reality, spying or the circus that is F1 has anything to do with it nobody will know anything until Brazil and that's how it should be. WCC - Ferrari - Y? 'Cos it has the strongest driver pairing and Massa now knows who's in charge and will do well to remember it. Every Gunner needs a wingman and it's about time Kimi had one.

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 Here are my preliminary predictions for the 2008 season... WDC 1. Kimi Raikonnen 2. Lewis Hamilton 3. Felipe Massa 4. Fernando Alonso 5. Heikki Kovalainen 6. Jenson Button 7. Nelson Piquet Jnr 8. Nick Heidfeld WCC 1. Ferrari 2. Mclaren 3. Renault 4. BMW 5. Honda 6. RBR 7. Williams 8. Toyota 9. Force India 10. Toro Rosso 11. Super Aguri There we go, these are my first predictions, which will undoubtedly change after the new cars are tested. They depend on whether Honda and Renault make a dramatic improvement and if Mclaren don't suffer their curse of even numbered years ending in subsequent failure!

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 yes but recently their cars in the 04 and 06 seasons have been rubbish by their standards, and their cars in the 05 and 07 seasons have been good. I am secretly hoping this trend continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver_Arrows 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 But as a Button/Honda fan, you would have nothing to gain from McLaren having a bad year, your guys are at the opposite end of the grid xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah but Honda do the opposite, they have bad odd years (05,07) and good even years (04,06) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 I know you like Fisi but aren't you too optimistic? Quite the opposite...FI will win the WCC after the 10 other teams get DQ. No, not disqualified, Dairy Queen. They will go eat lunch at Dairy Queen, and Bernie will ban them for not eating at the official restaurant of Formula 1: The Happy Hooker, a fish shack in the middle of nowhere.

Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 I know you like Fisi but aren't you too optimistic? Indeed, not quite sure where all these votes for Force India are coming from. If past history is anything to go by, they will continue to vy for last place with Super Aguri. Even Fisi is not *that* good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver_Arrows 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Yeah but Honda do the opposite, they have bad odd years (05,07) and good even years (04,06) I don\'t agree with that. Considering that everyone was talking before 2006 about how good honda\'s car was gonna be in 2006 and how they where gonna be a major contender, I would say that they underwhelmed in 2006, scoring just 1 win which they lucked into anyway. I also believe that its gonna be hard to make an instant impact after the awful car they had in 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Yes but they made a massive improvement on the 05 car with the 06 car! So they did improve massively! They just weren't quite good enough to consistently beat Renault and Ferrari! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver_Arrows 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 True, but I also like to judge a teams year by what they predicted to do, and Honda predicted bigger things for 2006 which by my money makes it a disappointing season for them. It was nice to see jenson get his first win, I just feel they could have done better than they did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 I must admit I've placed Force India higher up than I probably should.The optimism I had that Fisi would get them better results, seems to have been dampened somewhat as I still can't see where points are coming from. In F1, it's points that win prizes. Yep, that or a court case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
