Egg 2017 Formula 1 time capsule.

Only 6 days to go and it's about time I'd say. So get in quick with your predictions for 2017. Thread will be locked prior to the start of FP1 in Australia, and will reopen after season's end. Let's have a minimum of 5, and a maximum of 10 quantifiable predictions for the season.

no no...it came true in both the way i imagined it and specifically because i predicted it!

but seriously though, i still find it hard to believe that it happened ...maybe the most interesting story of the 2017 season in part because it came out of no where!

Agreed, he's great for F1 and seems to be flying under the radar now...it's all about Max at RB, Hamilton failed to name him recently as a challenger and Autosport had him surprisingly far down the top 50 drivers list.

Everything a Honey Badger needs to prove them wrong!

1) The ugly new cars will look at least 2 secs a lap more beautiful
2) Teams will discover you need to have at least 4 nosecone/wing kits per car as spares
3) People on forums will complain Pirrellis are lasting too long.
4) Bottas will take over Kimi's cult following (and win the mind games with Lulu)
5) Danny and Max will argue about team orders at some stage.
6)Hamilton, Bottas, Vettel, Ricciardo, Verstappen will all win GPs.
7) The WCC and WDC will go down to the last race but some will still say racing was better in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, Noughties. (select choice)
8) Bernie will claim Liberty are ruining F1 on at least 5 occasions.
9) Liberty will prove him wrong.
10) The biggest revolution in F1 will be the growth of on line or mobile platform viewing

1. Hamilton wins the WDC...
2. ...but Vettel puts up a bigger fight than expected to finish 2nd.
3. Bottas wins a race but only finishes 5th in the championship.
4. Raikkonen brings out the sisu, winning a race. Or two.
5. Stroll fails to finish half of the races, mainly due to crashes.
6. Verstappen wins two races and outscores Ricciardo over the season.
7. Ricciardo wins at Monaco, though.
8. There will be a couple of rainy races and the new wet race procedures will turn into a mess.
9. Ericsson will outperform Wehrlein, but only just. Bias? Of course.
...and the usual:
10. Someone will flip his car.

Bonus:
11. McLaren will have a torrid, torrid season, resulting in Alonso finally giving up and joining Haas for 2018.

1. Vettell wins the WDC
2. Alonso/McLaren will implode by seasons end
3. Bottas maiden win followed by more when Lewis has bad luck
4. Palmer will outscore Hulkenberg
5. Kimi will struggle and not win a race
6. Massa re-announces his retirement
7. Verstappen crashes at turn one at least once
8. Verstappen dominates DOTR votes
9. Stoffel will occassionally beat Alonso come 2nd half
10. Hulk also retires after tiring of fighting with Sauber and Haas at the rear. Goes to WEC instead.

Bonus 11. Silly season will be dominated by speculation of losing Hulk, Massa, Alonso and Kimi to retirements - 4 of the big 2000s (pre-Merc domination) names. But Kimi and Alonso end up staying.

9. Didn't occasionally beat Alonso (maybe just once), but he did massively improve in 2nd half
10. nope... Renault certainly improved on 2016 didn't they
11. well, this was a pretty far fetched prediction haha, we only lost Massa

Quite fun looking back over the predictions

5. Stroll fails to finish half of the races, mainly due to crashes.
6. Verstappen wins two races and outscores Ricciardo over the season.
7. Ricciardo wins at Monaco, though.
8. There will be a couple of rainy races and the new wet race procedures will turn into a mess.
9. Ericsson will outperform Wehrlein, but only just. Bias? Of course.
...and the usual:
10. Someone will flip his car.

Bonus:
11. McLaren will have a torrid, torrid season, resulting in Alonso finally giving up and joining Haas for 2018.
1. Correct
2. Correct
3. Mostly incorrect (he won 3 races and ended up 3rd in points)
4. Fail
5. Fail again
6. Half correct; he did win 2 races but ended up just behind Ricciardo in the points
7. Nope, another fail
8. Fail
9. It was pretty close but ultimately another fail (although Ericsson would've scored in Baku if not ordered to move aside - which people tend to forget)
10. Semi-fail as Wehrlein's crash in Monaco only counts as a half-flip
11. Semi-fail again

2/11. Oh well, better luck next year I guess.
