2010 Season Predictions

Postby Matt » March 10th, 2010, 5:19 pm

Everyone fill this in and we'll see who gets the most right at the end of the season.


1) Who will win the Drivers Championship?
I'm going with Lewis Hamilton, surprised? McLaren looked like they had something in reserve throughout testing and each time Hamilton went for a quick lap time he walked away on top. Button will challenge him if he can keep up early, but if Hamilton is able to land the first few punches I think he can dominate the McLaren partnership, that along with my suspicion that McLaren have the quickest car makes Lewis the obvious choice for me.

2) Who will win the Constructors Championship?
McLaren. They've had three years of reliability now and have two mature drivers that do quite a good job of staying out of trouble and are both excellent overtakers.

3) How many races will Michael Schumacher win?
Two. It will be Monaco or Spa and then one other.

4) How many race winners?
Six. (Ham, But, Alo, Mas, Sch, Vet)

5) Who will get the upper hand in the Red Bull battle, Webber or Vettel?
Neither. I think the two will be closely matched again throughout the season. Both drivers were inconsistent last season, Mark came on strong through the middle portion of the season and then faded. With a full pre season behind him perhaps he will beat Vettel but I don't think we'll have as clear a winner in this battle as say Schumi and Rosberg or Hamilton and Button.

6) Who will take rookie of the year honors (inc Kobayashi)
Kobayashi is in the best car to do it, but Petrov might be a bit of a sleeper here if he can stick close to overrated Kubica.

7) Which of the new teams will be most successful?
I think Virgin could end the season with the quickest car but Lotus look more likely to score points at this early stage.

8) Who will be the first driver to be dropped?
De la Rosa maybe.

9) What will this seasons major scandal be?
Bunson stealing Hamilton's girl!

10) One miscellaneous prediction...
Alonso and Schumacher will crash into each other in the pitlane.

I suck at these, but why not?

1) Who will win the Drivers Championship?
Hamilton - He's developed a lot as a driver last year, and unlike Alonso and Button he doesn't have to adjust to a new team. Massa could be a dark horse, let's hope he hasn't lost the fire.

Vettel could take it if the Red Bull is as good as last year's car and he works out his consistency issues, but he'll still have a tough fight against Hamilton.

2) Who will win the Constructors Championship?
Ferrari, because I think they have the best all round team, even if they don't have the best driver.

3) How many races will Michael Schumacher win?
One. I don't think at this stage the Merc will be fighting for the championship, but it could pick up the occasional win in the right circumstances.

4) How many race winners?
I imagine the winners will be Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Button, probably Vettel, and hopefully Webber. With Schumacher an outside chance I'm hoping six, but realistically five.

5) Who will get the upper hand in the Red Bull battle, Webber or Vettel?
If Vettel has sorted his consistency problems then Vettel, otherwise... still Vettel.

6) Who will take rookie of the year honors (inc Kobayashi)
Kobayashi, because he's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

7) Which of the new teams will be most successful?
Whichever one doesn't go bankrupt before the end of the year.

8) Who will be the first driver to be dropped?
Whichever pay driver doesn't come forth with their payment.

9) What will this seasons major scandal be?
The other teams demand a photograph of Richard Branson's hymen to prove he really is a...

10) One miscellaneous prediction...
Sutil and Button will leave the world of racing to join a re-formed Queen as their new piano player and vocalist respectively.
Some of the drivers I will be supporting this year include Australia's Own peg leg, Dudu's big brother and the penis pianist.

[b]1) Who will win the Drivers Championship?

Button. Tyre strategy will give him the edge over Hamilton, who will be harder on them (Especially fronts!)

[b]2) Who will win the Constructors Championship?

McLaren

[b]3) How many races will Michael Schumacher win?

Hopefully none

[b]4) How many race winners?

Six. Purely a guess though

[b]5) Who will get the upper hand in the Red Bull battle, Webber or Vettel?

Webber. He knows it is do or die this year.

[b]6) Who will take rookie of the year honors (inc Kobayashi)

Kobyashi. Only because of his performance last year

[b]7) Which of the new teams will be most successful?

Mercedes (Can I call them a new team?)

[b]8) Who will be the first driver to be dropped?

Senna. Don't know why. Maybe because of the famous name (i.e. Piquet)

[b]9) What will this seasons major scandal be?

Schumacher will get the sh1ts from being beaten by Rosberg and quit, giving a sore neck as an excuse. Or possibly Rosberg will get the sh1ts because of Schumi getting better equipment. One or the other.

[b]10) One miscellaneous prediction...

Lotus will be bought out and renamed

Postby Heidfeld No.1 » March 11th, 2010, 10:41 pm

1) Who will win the Drivers Championship?
Felipe Massa. For one selfish, simple reason. Nick beat Raikkonen. Raikkonen was champ. Nick beat Villeneuve. Villeneuve was champ. Nick beat Felipe...but I fear Felipe is a better driver now. Nonetheless, find another driver to outperform 3 world champs without winning a race!

2) Who will win the Constructors Championship?
McLaren. How can they not. Lewis' team now has a World Champion number two...

3) How many races will Michael Schumacher win?
Two. More than Nico for sure, Nico Snr will pull Nico out, Nick will take over and...


Ok, I can dream!

4) How many race winners?
Four (I think the hype for 2010 will fall flat with Felipe, Fernando, Lewis and Seb getting wins)
(If that one was right I deserve a darn medal!)

5) Who will get the upper hand in the Red Bull battle, Webber or Vettel?
Same as 2009. Vettel will keep the upperhand, but Webber (full credit to him, not a fan) will be as close, if not closer.

6) Who will take rookie of the year honors (inc Kobayashi)
Kamui. He has to! He has the greatest story of all. If not for F1, he'd be a sushi chef!

7) Which of the new teams will be most successful?
HRT, Dallara know how to build racing cars, the drivers are disappointing. An Indian guy (ooooo money and 1.3 billion fans?) and some Brazilian guy who will spend the year saying 'My uncle', 'my uncle' and we can't criticise because Senna was GOD (hell he was!).

8) Who will be the first driver to be dropped?
Schumacher. You read it here first.

No idea, it will be a new team driver who doesn't bring a full budget...or Petrov.

9) What will this seasons major scandal be?
Nick Heidfeld's domination of Mario Kart Wii online.
or
McLaren's wing

10) One miscellaneous prediction...

The first new team to score a point will be Lotus, after half the field pass out from shock at spending two hours racing on Bahrain's new layout.

I feel that I am nowhere near on many of these...But hopefully a few come true!
Nick Heidfeld will finally be the champ this year...

At Mario Kart. Gonna be a long year...

2) Who will win the Constructors Championship?
Ferrari. Strong package, strong driver pairing

4. Australian, German, Singapore and Japan grands prix...

5. Nando, Flip, Vettel, Hammo and the Schu...

5) Who will get the upper hand in the Red Bull battle, Webber or Vettel?
Vettel. Easily.

6) Who will take rookie of the year honors (inc Kobayashi)
The incredible Hulk...

7) Which of the new teams will be most successful?
Mercedes... Oh, you mean...
HRT

8) Who will be the first driver to be dropped?
Kobayashi. I really hope not, but have a gut feeling...

9) What will this seasons major scandal be?
Lewis sex scandal rivals Tiger Woods...

10) One miscellaneous prediction...
Rubens to retire...
