Preview of F1 2016

Well yeah, lol.

It is a very vague memory by now, but the closest to "real life" dream I saw was Michael Schumacher securing the 2002 championship - a dream, which I believe I saw before the French GP that year. The difference was that in my dream he passed Olivier Panis, who was having a surprisingly good race in a BAR, to take the win (and WDC).

I have had some weird dreams, including one with an amazing 30 car field on a track that looked like a cross between Melbourne and Suzuka. It was only when I tried to analyse it after waking up that I realised there were actually 2 Massas in the field.

In the summer of 1999 I had one about the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix where in a crazy race Pedro Diniz finished 2nd. Then one when Damon Hill won his swansong race in Japan. Then quite a good one before the 2012 season started where in a mixed weather Turkish GP Schumacher ran 3rd, but was overhauled by Massa by the end but they still got a very good 3rd and 4th. Only to realise there was no Turkish GP that year.

Needless to say, none have come true even remotely.

As for your dream Jens, not bad at all since that's pretty much how it happened except with Kimi instead of Panis.


As for predictions, how about this great one I made: After qualifying for the San Marino GP in 1999, I called out a top 6 of M.Schumacher (grid 3rd), Coulthard (2nd), Hakkinen (1st), Hill (8th) Fisichella (16th!) and Alesi (13th). After much wrangling I changed 3rd place to Barrichello (grid 6th).

Those with great memories or a glance at wiki will see that is the exact top 6 of that race! The only time I've ever managed it - I wish pickems was around then.

Around that time, I also had Eddie Irvine winning the German GP closely followed by the next 2 cars. As it happened, Salo and Frentzen did exactly that. Since then I broke my crystal ball and never did manage to fix it.
