    Well, I tipped Hulkenberg to win twice this season. However, I have done nothing but criticise him all year (as a lot of you know!!!) and then he goes and grabs pole in Brazil!

    I tipped Alonso and Massa to win every race in 2007, then tipped Massa for the title in 2008. For ’09 I said that Heikki would outscore Lewis and Massa would cruise to the title.

    However, after reading a few others on this thread, I tip Schumacher for 2011. No joke, I realy think he will be champion next year.

    I agree with daykind.

    And I double it. His main rival will be Kobayashi :D.

    Not a lot for me other than Buttons two wins and Alonso leading the WDC – I thought he would be as far behind Lewis as Massa is behind Alonso

    I did put the teams in the correct order though pre-season: RB, McLaren, Ferrari then Mercedes

    My drivers prediction was Webber, Vettel, Lewis, Alonso then the rest

    I predicted most things correctly, actually. Other than predicting Vettel or Hulkenberg (?) to win the Monaco GP, I wrongly predicted Ferrari to win the WCC and Hamilton to have most pole positions. I said that Alonso will win the WDC, Hamilton and Alonso will beat their teammates, Force India will be disappointing, Hulkenberg and Kobayashi will be the most impressive rookies, Schumacher will at maximum win two races (still a far cry), Lotus will be the best new team and the WDC will get 275 points.

    I’m not being funny, but I don’t think I’ve got anything wrong this season. This is largely because I didn’t make any outlandish predictions… and also I have a very poor memory.

    Of course, I’m feeling slightly edgy about my prediction of Nigel Mansell coming back in an enlarged cockpit WIlliams. But it passes, as the confidence floods back after a moment or two..

    I was hoping Mercedes would have a better car this season. The main cause of Humble Pie meals is when I misrecognise a driver, and get all excited about who did what. I had trouble with with Renault and Button I think, thinking the McLaren of Button had been re-passed by Petrov, and it turned out it was Kubica… something like that. I can’t remember the exact details.

    On hearing the news that Jacques Villeneuve was joining Williams I confidently predicted he would be back racing in America within 2 years having never won a race in F1.
    I’ve tended not to make too many predictions since then…

    Well, I predicted that Petrov will actually score some points, and maybe a podium, and Renault would be winning races, but that didn’t go well. Then I predicted Sauber would win in Bahrain, but after their performance in Jerez and Valencia, I think many people did. And thought that Alonso was going to win the wdc (Still think he will) And that he would blow Massa out of the water (Hey, whad’ya know?).

    HRT to take both titles………

    If I said that I should have been taken to the doctors.

    You remind me of Legard (But your not voice of F1 so it doesn’t matter) I do the same, especially with the teams like, Toro Rosso, Sauber, FI and the other monkeys below them.

    I think Abu Dhabi’s GP will end with Webber leading Vettel and Alonso and Webber will win the WDC. I hope I’ll have to eat a slice of the pie!

  • Profile picture of jihelle jihelle said 2 years, 7 months ago:

    I thought McLaren would be the team to beat this season, Sauber to be the best of the small teams and Ferrari to implode under the nefarious influence of Alonso. Well McLaren didn’t live up to expectations, nor did Sauber and Alonso managed to have the team to obey his will with Massa raising the White Flag without too much fuss. Whoever wins, I did not predict it….

    cant see webber winning the race mainly due to his unconvincing effort in brazil

    my heart is with alonso but…..

    still i did predict alonso and …for that matter, button last year

  • Profile picture of Dan Thorn Dan Thorn said 2 years, 7 months ago:

    I thought that Sauber might score a couple of podiums or maybe a win. I also thought Red Bull would be fast enough to win the odd race but not as strong as Ferrari or McLaren.

  • Profile picture of Deleted User said 2 years, 7 months ago:

    I thought Massa would make a brilliant comeback. After what happened it’s still been pretty good but he’s been mostly blown away by Alo. I think I let my heart rule my head on that one!

    I thought Sauber would be better.

    I thought RBR would be 4th in the WCC.

    I thought Schumacher would be in with a shout.
    I though Mercedes would be far far better.
    I thought Sauber would be much better and I thought Kobayayshi might score a win.
    I though Hulkenberg would do better at Interlagos.
