The humble pie thread

[N4D13]

I'm just opening this thread for those of us who want to have a slice of humble pie after predicting what 2012 would bring in a, well, rather inaccurate manner. After all, the funniest thing about predicting stuff is looking back on what we said and realizing that we weren't even close, wasn't it?

Personally, I must admit that I expected Red Bull to mop the floor with everyone else this season, but so far, it looks like I chose the wrong team to side with!

Good thread!

I must confess that when Button went to McLaren, I thought Hamilton would regularly be about 0.5 secs per lap faster than him, and discredit him completely.

I might have been slightly wrong.

I have to say that Williams was faster than I would have ever thought. Perhaps we'll find out if this is track-specific or not. They have been very good at Melbourne in the past as well.

Don't sweat it bro last year Alonso took a 4th. The new tub will get there in time
Long season bra, hang loose

I didn't have the courage to predict Hulkenberg > di Resta pre-season. I was swayed by all the di Resta hype. I'm happy that Hulkenberg (who seems more humble) did well. At Williams he always came across to me as someone who could do with some nurturing. And was there any chance of getting that at Williams?

I've been wrong about Ricciardo so far after last season. I predict Vergne to sort him out and take the Red Bull seat, but hope I'm wrong, cos he seems a nicer guy.

I didn't much believe in Sauber for this season, but they look like they might be good. Still wana see if they tumble backwards later on though.

Pastor surprised me. He is really fast. Owned Bruno.

Well, to be honest, had many midfield runners not got into trouble during the race, Alonso may well have ended up around 10th. He was one of the few, who basically had a troublefree run in the race. Perhaps in Malaysia we will get a better indication, where does Ferrari lie in comparison to midfield teams.

No surprise there.

My humble pie is that I under estimated Maldonado. He looked fantastic until his crazy last lap.
