F1 Fanatic

This isn’t a huge thing to gloat about, but I remembered I made this prediction regarding Jenson Button before the Japanese Grand Prix:

I’m expecting him to qualify third, start eighth, and work his way up to fourth. The podium might be just out of reach.

And that was exactly what happened :o

@Portugoose I noticed that, good call!

I wouldn’t gloat yet. The one report saying it’s true isn’t the best source.

I predicted van der Garde to get an F1 drive 3 months ago

Van der Garde is almost certain to graduate to F1 next year

Back in November I listed several drivers to reach F1 this year

Went for Razia, Gutierrez, Chilton, Bianchi, Bird, van der Garde & Bottas.
I feel all of these drivers have a realistic chance to progress to F1 based on their experience, talent and backing.

Of these drivers, 4 (Gutierrez, Chilton, van der Garde & Bottas) have a confirmed seat for 2013, with a further 2 (Razia & Bianchi) likely to be racing in F1 this year too

I coloured the 2012 Sauber in because I didn’t like their livery. It’s a bad job I did in what I believe may have only been MS Paint, but LOOK.

I’ve got 2 cousins in F1
One of them (Nick) works for sauber at the moment and designs something important and the other (Nigel) started out at tyrell in the late 1970′s and worked his way up to chief engineer before moving to minardi in 1999 or 2000 and now works for torro rosso
May explain why I am into f1 :D
