My Past F1 Predictions

[jens]

Wow, that's a long time ago and you must have been quite a bit younger while doing this prediction.

To be honest, I'd say it was not too far off. Obviously Stewart wasn't foreseen and Prost was also quicker than that, but the team standings is pretty close. First two well clear, then Jordan best of the rest, then skipping the Stewart come Williams and Benetton. Arrows and Minardi slowest.

Qualifying averages were also pretty good, with minor exclusions of Stewart and Prost only. You said BAR had a bad season, but in terms of speed they were pretty okay and Villeneuve qualified into top 10 a lot.

I think had I made a 1999 prediction back then, it would have been worse. It would have seen Zanardi up there in the top six almost certainly.
