10 Predictions for 2007

[LeonBrooke]

1. Hamilton and Button will be woefully unsuccessful and Hamilton will be dumped mid-season
2. Kovalainen will be very good and will win multiple races
3. Ralf Schumacher will win a race for Toyota
4. Mark Webber will be faster than Coulthard on occasion but will be less disciplined and as such Coulthard will out-perform him
5. Massa and Raikkonen will be battling for the world title but end up taking points off each other
6. Alonso will be the quickest driver of the year but will be frustrated by reliability issues which will ruin his title hopes

That's all I've got so far.

[Cozzie]

1. Alonso will struggle at times with DNFs and maybe even loose his cool on camera but will still manage to win the title.
2. Massa will give Raikkonen a run for his money and this will destroy both of their title hopes.
3. Renault will struggle and fail to win. Fisi will be ousted at the end of 2007.
4. BMW-Sauber will win once and be in the top 4.
5. Button and Honda will be the surprise package and Button will finish third in the standings.
6. Toyota will be bottom four.
7. Heikki will outpace Fisi but Hamilton will find it hard.
8. Williams will be rubbish and Red Bull will underachieve.
9. Spyker will get regular points finishes.
10.Sato will crash 16 times!

[Mr Kurtz]

I think any possible scenario is allready here, but I can make one prediction:

- Australia will have no STR's nor Aguri's at the start after a complaint from other teams about their cars and Spyker will take it to arbitration preventing those two teams from racing.

[Bezza]

Lets be realistic.

1. Ferrari will not be ahead of the rest, despite the predictions.

2. The Renault of Fisichella will suddenly be bullet-proof and be the pacesetter in the first few races.

3. McLaren will be unreliable all season (no change there then), but quick.

4. Toyota will win a race mid season.

5. Coulthard will outpace Webber.

6. Honda will be consistent and challenge for the title through Jenson.

7. Kovalainen will be poor and prone to errors.

8. Hamilton will struggle but come good in the last handful of races.

9. Massa will be fired before the end of the season after a public spat with Raikkonen.

10. Button will win the WDC from Raikkonen, Fisichella and Alonso.

10. Button will win the WDC from Raikkonen, Fisichella and Alonso.

You call that realistic? Button will never win the world title. He's an arrogant **** without the skill to back it up. I predict he'll leave F1 in disgrace without another win.

I wouldn't go that far, but...

Bezza's last 10 statements seem to be contradictory to the first one. :

[Hawkmoon]

1. Ferrari will win back the titles that are rightfully theirs.

2. The McLaren will be both slow and unreliable, forcing Alonso to turn to drink, despite ol' Ron's protests.

3. Hamilton will struggle against Alonso to such a degree that McLaren will look elsewhere for 2008.

4. Neither Button nor Honda will win a race.

5. The top three will be Ferrari, Renault and McLaren.

6. The FIA will change the rules midseason (again).

7. Webber will send old man Coulthard into retirement.

8. Toyota will once again get the worst return in terms of points per dollar.

9. Trulli will be kicked out of F1 due to the stress the Trulli Train causes both the fans and the other drivers.

10. 2007 will mark the end of the careers of Coulthard, Speed, Liuzzi and Barrichello.

Oh yes.

Realistically, Button will return to his normal form - the occasional podium but mostly he will be languishing anywhere between sixth and twelfth. Hamilton will be similar in form to Rosberg last year. Kovalainen, who has done extensive testing for Renault and served as third driver for a year, will win at least once.

[samuratt]

Predictions:
1. Ferrari will be the team with more race wins.
2. Kovalainen will beat Fishichella
3. Toyota won't be on the podium the entire year.
4. BMW will finish in the podium more than once.

[ottostreet]

10. Rosberg will do appallingly.
9. There will be at least one mclaren retirement by the time we get back to Europe.
8. Massa will be broken over the first half of the season by Kimi.
7. Ted Kravitz will always have been "just down to the Honda garage".
6. Coulthard will not be dominated by Webber.
5. Alonso will be quite pissed off by season's end.
4. Hamilton will be special (im hoping not though)
3. Kovaleinen will wipe the floor with Fisi.
2. Heidfeld & Kubica will be a great battle.
1. Kimi Raikkonen will be World Champion.
