Orange · 20 Feb 2001, 23:03 (Ref:65793)

The Orange 8-Ball has been shaken, and the resulting predictions for the top 6 of the 2001 WDC is as follows:

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Mika Hakkinen
3. Ralph Schumacher
4. Jaques Villneuve
5. David Coulthard

Conservative perhaps, but the Orange 8-Ball likes to win!!

Nuvolari · 21 Feb 2001, 10:07 (Ref:65860)

1 -- Michael
2 -- Mika
3 -- DC
4 -- Rubinho
5 -- Jacques
6 -- Juan Pablo

Valve Bounce · 21 Feb 2001, 11:11 (Ref:65868)

That was the easy part. And here are the bottom eight:
Marques
Alonso
Mazza
Bernoldi
Heidfeld
Burti
Raikonen
Verstappen
This gets very difficult after you pick the bottom 2, because any of the other 6 can pick up points. Alonso was picked second worst simply because he is in the Minardi. Most of these selections are no reflection on the drivers, but simply my guess on which teams will achieve the least.
Gerard, could you please save this also?? Ta!!

R · 21 Feb 2001, 17:37 (Ref:65920)

I agree with most of your picks for bottom eight, VB, but Heidfeld?! Surely he'll do better than that. I think he will be around 10th place in the final standings. My gut feeling says so!

Speed · 21 Feb 2001, 22:33 (Ref:65989)

1. MH
2. MS
3. JPM
4. DC
5. RB
6. JV

No more comments !

Valve Bounce · 21 Feb 2001, 22:39 (Ref:65992)

You are probably right R, it became very difficult to pick which cars won't perform, and I know nothing about Sauber's engine. So I just took a stab that it will not have reliability. Everyone is tipping that Nick will be the big improver, so I'll probably have to eat my words at the end of the season.

Sparky · 21 Feb 2001, 22:45 (Ref:65995)

Downforce; Do you realise it's only you 'n' me who can't see DC in the top 6?

Most members' predictions seem to be a combination of the following characters:

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Mika Hakkinen
3. Rubens Barrichello
4. Jacques Villeneuve
5. Ralf Schumacher
6. David Coulthard

However, I (as you do) rate JPM highly, but DC not so.

I guess we'll see...

EERO · 22 Feb 2001, 02:21 (Ref:66013)

Sparky, I rate JPM very highly, but I think top six in his first season in F1 in a second tier car is expecting a bit much. As for DC, I think he gets a bum rap and bad luck and a few ill-timed mistakes have undeservedly damaged his reputation. Picking DC in a Mac outside the top six means either that you really don't like him or are not taking a realistic view of the field.

downforce · 22 Feb 2001, 08:46 (Ref:66043)

Yeah Sparky yeah!

Eero!..DC aint goin nowhere this season! hes been in the best car LONG enuff!!

JPM?...hes gonna be good, tho hes still gonna finish behind ole Ralfy...but HE will make the "Schumacher" out of Ralf

Toth · 22 Feb 2001, 11:54 (Ref:66067)

My final top six:

1 Michael Schumacher
2 Mika Hakkinen
3 Rubens Barichello
4 DC
5 Jacques Villeneuve
6 Ralf Schumacher

So it shall be written, so it shall be done.

Dino IV · 22 Feb 2001, 14:24 (Ref:66096)

Exciting season judging from the predictions

1\2: TGF\Mika ... hmmm close call, let's assume Mika will be up there in the first half of the season as well; 3\4: RB\DC ... hard to say as well. DC will fall through I guess and RB will up his game; after that, tough to say, but I'll opt for Michelin having a rough first year so Williams won't be able to make that quantum leap yet; Jordan will IMO they're looking very strong as opposed to BAR who give a really messy impression ... so:

1. Mika
2. TGF
3. Rubens
4. DC
5. Trulli
6. Frentzen
(7. Villeneuve; 8. Montoya; 9. Panis; 10. Fisichella; 11. Heidfeld; 12. Ralf

; 13. Button; 14. Raikonnen; 15. Alesi; 16. Bernoldi; 17. Mazzacane; 18. Burti; 19. Irvine; 20. Verstappen; 21. Alonso; 22. Marques)

Murph · 22 Feb 2001, 21:41 (Ref:66158)

1: Michael Schumacher
2: Rubens Barrichello
3: Mika Hakkinen
4: David Coulthard
5: Jarno Trulli
6: Ralf Schumacher

"Rationale"..... by the end of the year the Mclaren/Illmor will be the best package but the Woking boys will have major reliability problems in the first half of the season and just will be too far behind the Ferrari's to catch up.

take care all and I pray that the season is a safe one for all drivers, course workers, team members, spectators, and their families. Hope to see some of ya at Indy in September...

Hey Gerard, we forgot the Constructors' Championship. Do you want to start a separate thread?
Dino, you are going to look awfully foolish by mid season putting Ralf that far down.

Remembre the old saying: he who laughs last, .........

Gerard · 23 Feb 2001, 01:05 (Ref:66181)

Valve Bounce, most of us are already participating in Fantasy F1, Fantasy Champ Cars and now Predictions Competition.
I think doing a Constructors Competition also is a bit of an overload.
Ofcourse when there are more people who want this, I'll go ahead with it.
Your wish is my command.
