Egg Crystal Ball Time Capsule 2016

Write predictions (the more quanitifable the better) that you can make about 2016 that you can use to look back on at the end of the year and laugh at your expectations.

The thread will be locked before FP1 and dug up at season's end.

1. Sebastian Vettel will win the world drivers' championship.
2. Mercedes will of course win the world constructors' championship.
3. Haas will get between 5 and 15 points.
4. Exactly 4 drivers will win a race.
5. Exactly 4 teams will win a race.
6. There will be at least 6 wet races.
7. Sauber will score fewer points than Haas.
8. Manor will score at least one point.
9. Kimi Raikkonen will make at least one remark on the radio that is massively commented on and cheered.
10. There will be at least 2 driver replacements during the season.
11. A McLaren driver will get on a podium (not like in Brazil last year).
12. Verstappen will get on the podium.

Where can I find last year's Capsule?

1. Think we're going to get a crazy silly-season
2. Hulkenberg announced at McLaren for next season?
3. Kyvat will be given the boot for next season
4. Renault will be a massive flop
5. Manor to score points
6. New radio rules to cause some head-scratching moments in the first half of the season - drivers and teams will get used to it though
7. C4's coverage will be highly popular
8. Wehrlein will be hailed as the next big thing
9. Hamilton will do something with his personal appearance which will upset other people
10. Verstappen will show some form of personality. Maybe he'll sneeze or something. Or smile if he gets a podium. I dunno. Hard to be specific on this one.

1 Toro Rosso will start the season better than Red Bull before fading as the 2015 Ferrari runs out of evolution later in the year.

2 Ferrari will win 6 races, all by Vettel

3 Hamilton will play mind games again, with Rosberg spitting the dummy and leaving Mercedes at the end of the year

4 All teams will score points this season

5 Sauber will be the worst of the established teams despite the 2016 engine.


Oh and 6

I will get at least 3 of these wrong.

3. Vettel will have an immense barrel-roll crash somewhere
4. The Honda engine will surprise us all again, but I'm not sure which way that'll be!
5. I'll get on telly at Silverstone

Here's my most realistic guesses
1) Vettel and Raikkonen will get a 1-2 at Monza
2) Rosberg will beat Hamilton
3) Kyvat will get the best result with RBR with 2nd
4) Sauber will struggle this year
5) Williams will drop back
6) Raikkonen will be dropped at the end of the year
7) STR will get more podiums that RBR

Well a few of my picks may be a bit out there. You can’t win big if you play the favorites!

1. Nico Rosberg will win the WDC
2. Sebastian Vettel will be second in WDC standings
3. Lewis Hamilton will be third in WDC standings (!)
4. Nico and Lewis will have at least one collision that takes one or both cars out.
5. Mercedes will win the WCC.
6. Financial drama will inflict Force India seriously enough to have items seize during a race weekend.
7. Rio Haryanto will crash out of at least three races and non-crash DNF in another three.
8. Manor will not score points.
9. Haas will lose significant points in at least one race due to a significant pit snafu. Such as being in top five and then choke.
10. Haas will score points.
11. Haas qualifying and race performance will be erratic.
12. Kimi will retire at end of season.
13. McLaren will not be on the podium
14. McLaren will see some improvement at the start of the season, but not much.
15. McLaren will have a late season revival.
16. At some point Red Bull will revert to type and blame Renault for its problems.
17. This forum will continue to be dominated with “X, Y and Z is wrong with F1” threads.
