...they won't suffer as badly this year. 2014 may be to 2013 as 2008 was to 2007 for Renault, an improvement.[/ quote]
Well in the end I was probably right on the money? Yes?

...Jenson being 1.0-1.2sec or so off the pace, maybe 1.5 if the gaps are really big through the field.
I'm claiming this one. Jenson was +1.56 off Rosberg I think.

Wins? Ohhh I'm not sure. How about podiums this time. That seems realistic. I wouldn't expect more than 2 wins max though even in the best case scenario. But overall a decent enough recovery ready for 2015.
Not a bad guess.

I can't really see him matching Jenson for speed first year round, [/b](nailed it)[/b] but then Perez outqualified him 10-9... I think Magnussen could actually finish 8th in the WDC. I don't think he will be totally inconsistent and down the pack.
Ummm not so sure about the 2nd bit...
