F1 2006 season predictions revisited

[Kitdy]

Noone rates Webber with the Renault engine or a Newey designed car??? Wow!
Webber WDC 2007...

Blatant Australian bias...

[Zytek_Fan]

Red Bull and BMW will prolly be moving up in 07

[Kitdy]

I think Red Bull will not get any better. They are already doing very well. I agree with you on BMW though.

[fpv_gtho]

Red Bull done rather poorly last year actually. Theres a very possible improvement from 7th in the WCC.

Blatant Unashamedly Australian bias...

Fixed.

Watch Webs have a stellar year. Touch wood, he wont have the issues of a shitbox car to deal with. Whoever designed last years hydraulic system on the Williams should be forced to not use crayons for this years design. Or better yet, they could consider getting an adult to do it.

[Daz27]

Ok, have been thinking. There is a slim chance Mr Crayola moved with Webber to RBR. So as a back up bet, I'm gunna suggest Mr Raikonen will have a bit of a lucky streak in his Ferrari. Shame he isn't an aussie really...

Remember this thread?

I was well overdue with the results...

Well after checking all the responses I have to declare FPV_gtho (post#22) winner...

A few other random results:

Mr.K said Button would get his first win, he did, but he also said it would open a floodgate, which didn't happen. They cancel each other out!
Most of the people on the board voted for Kimi and McLaren, I guess we were a little disappointed there.
A few said Button would spank Barichello and it happened.
A few of us voted for JPM, how where we supposed to guess he would be out by mid season?!?!?
Honda was expected to be better that they actually were.
Coventrysucks said a lot of random stuff, he was correct on that JPM will crash into a backmarker, but I bet he never thought the backmarker would be Kimi...

Ahh, and I bet mid season that PdlR wouldn't score more points that Montoya, which didn´t happen so someone owes me.

Get ready for your 2007 predictions, the thread will be opened as soon as pre season testing is over. And it will be interesting with all the changes coming to F1.

Cheers, have a great 2007 everyone!

After Hungary Button had the most points.

[ptclaus98]

Speed and Liuzzi will have many an on track incident.

If Webber wins the Aussie GP, he will set the tone for the season.

Hamilton will make more noise than Alonso. Positively or negatively I'm not sure.

Kimi is cursed and will continue to be so. It really hurts me to say that.

Kubica will win 4 GPs. 1 in the rain, two with Kovalanien on his back, and on in North America.

Massa will set fast lap in 12 GPs

Button will score a point in all but 4 GP's

Fisichella will stumble around for the first few GPs, but he will make a late push using one stoppers.

Williams will have more points than Toyota at the end of the season.

This will be Coulthard's last year in F1.


I have to get one of these right.

[torque55]

i think ferrari will win the constructors title. Massa will make many upsets. Kimi will score more points than alonso.
Bmw will be frequent on the podium. if Hodna, get it right, button will win atleast 2 races. Mclaren wont be title contenders, however they will have a better better year than 06. Williams will continue to suffer, at least in the 1st half of the season. Toyota will improve on their 06 form. Renault will win when others will fail.

Eccelstone will not retire.

[MrKipling]

Even though it didn't open a floodgate of wins, he did score more points than anyone else in the remaining races of the season, so they don't totally cancel each other out.

[Daz27]

Forgive my ignorance Mr K but who are you talking about?

[fpv_gtho]

Button;

From Hungary onwards, he scored the most points of all the drivers, and many of his supporters love to point that out.

Many of his detractors though will probably point out last season was 18 rounds, and not the final 6 from Hungary onwards

found some time again here? Welcome back....

[Daz27]

Ahhhh Mr Button. Dont worry he wont have those difficulties this season. Barrichello will either make him look stupid (like he should have last season) or at least take him out too when he crashes.

There is no 'should have' in F1, only 'did' and 'did not', Barrichello did not make Button look stupid this season and will not do so in 2007 either.
