What are your predictions for F1?

[faksta]

There's very little chance of that I'm afraid. At this stage it's not even certain that Super Aguri will make it to the grid in Melbourne. They're in big financial trouble, have barely done any testing, and have recently been begging to Honda to bail them out in time for the start of the season.

They have never had enough money, but last season they progressed well, I think.

i hope this is the year for Hamilton and Mclaren

[Ferrer]

I predict Alonso will be as annoying as always.

Maybe more.

[Homem de Gelo]

Repeat of 2007 (Raikkonen vs. Hamilton, with Alonso and Massa playing along in the background.), except Nakajima will be the new mid-level driver.

What about Rosberg?

IMO, Williams might be a pleasent surprise. They might be the 3rd force if they stick to their winter testing form.

And maybe Red Bull could just finally get reliable and quick.

Theyve had alot more than current though. Last year, Honda started limiting support and one of their main sponsors SS United defaulted on payments. Theyve been rumoured to have several Russian/Indian backers ready to get involved in the team, but they all want to put one of their own drivers in next to Sato, whilst Honda are basically saying any support from them is conditional on Davidson remaining.

Here are my predictions for 2008:

1. Ecclestone will find new ways to get richer out of the fans and governments.
2. Max Mosley will continue to change the rules, allowing the sport to become even more expensive.
3. The British GP will be under scrutiny because of it's lame infrastructure and lack of proper access roads.
4. Alonso will be slow but happy at Renault.
5. Kimi will be fast but won't show any apparent emotion.
6. Kovalainen will give Hamilton a run for his money, beating him fair an square at least a couple of times.
7. Williams will not perform according to it's pre-season form.
8. Piquet will crash quite a bit, including his teammate.
9. Aguri will not finish the season (and probably not even start it).
10. Ron Dennis will compain at more than 50% of the GPs of being at the end of pitlane.

Renault will get a 200 million fine for copying Mclaren

Good prediction.

Ferrari and Kimi ftw.

They're not at the end of the pitlane. They got the number 5 pit afair. The organisers thought it would be unfair to put McLaren in one of the smaller and worse-equipped end-of-the-lane pits.

Apparently they were going to get the 3rd garage until Renault made a fuss. Still, that means Ferrari, BMW, Renault, Williams and McLaren will hold the top 5 garages.

Davidson is a good choice not only because of Honda's money...
Well, anyway, the season will show everything

i agree with you, your predictions are quite realistic, maybe not all , but the majority.

Also Hamilton will be under immense pressure to live up to his 1st F1 season, it is possible that he wont perform as well.

another one:
we will see the return of Michael Schumacher....(3rd quickest yesterday at Barcelona testing....)

Oops, my bad.

[torque55]

Oops, my bad.

they deserve being there, i dont understand why they are being lenient

according to where they stood in the constructors table in the end of the 07 season. Plus that would be unfair for the team behind them being pushed down .
