Re: F1 2008 Season: Last minute predictions!

I'm putting my money on that Hamilton will win. He simply has too, he was so close last year and this years car is just as fast. Although Ferrari is psychologically in a better shape than Mclaren, Hamilton has one advantage over Kimi and that is qualifying speed.

Hamilton might mature with time but won't be getting any much better than what he is now. If he doesn't win this year we will become the new Jenson button.

Re: F1 2008 Season: Last minute predictions!

Okay Luw, I cheated and waited til qualifying, but I have already mentioned a few weeks said that I don't think Ferrari is nearly as fast as people think.

My predictions:
Hamilton WDC - disputed title, FIA inquiry, big fuss over ECU, other teams question if Mclaren car still contains stolen ideas, another high-profile showdown by summer
Ferrari WCC - see above
Renault - maybe a lucky win later in the year, but not a top team
Alonso - wait one more year and then jump to Ferrari, I think he has that opt-out clause
BMW - likely one lucky win, but I question their race pace and tyre degradation
Nakajima - Rosberg will show him who's boss, I think Nakajima is overrated vastly
Barrichello - Not if Honda can improve, unless he is shown the door

Re: F1 2008 Season: Last minute predictions!

1) Hammy WDC (The Reds will bitch about something like always when things don't go their way)
2) Sadly Ferrari WCC
3) Renault will be top of midfield (like BMW last year) behind BMW (bottom of topfield)
4) I don't care
5) BMW will win a couple
6) Nakajima who?
7) Oh god I hope so!

But this year it is easier for all the other teams to do it to Mclaren as well. Of course, I think Ferrari will lead the chorus of jeers, perhaps with Renault and Alonso. If you were a team boss Siko, even you would be tempted to question their legitimacy after '07. The FIA has probably aided the other teams' argument.

Seems like your prediction was pretty much on the point.
