5. We'll have a "rookie" winner.
6. Haas will win a race (I can dream!).
7. McLaren will not complete the season with Honda engines.

(I have to miss out me being on TV at Silverstone this year as I'm not going)
Um...

Well, number 1 was right. Not sure about number 2 although he binned it in a couple of FP2 and FP3 sessions. 3 hasn't happened, 4 sort of happened (Indy, Toyota seat fit), 5 sort of (Bottas taking his first although not a rookie!), 6 noooope, 7... well, very nearly.

So mostly a pile of nope. Never ask me to select your lottery numbers

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!

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. 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.

Just curious - why did you think Ricciardo would leave F1?

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!
