Sebastien Vettel will win a 4th consecutive WDC.
Lewis Hamilton will finish 5th or lower in the WDC.
Lotus will win at least 2 races.
Jenson Button will finish in the Top 3.
There will be at least 2 mid-season driver changes.

i think i was right on 3 of them due to Kimi injured back for the change of driver, was very wrong with the Vettel one, right with no new winners and also right with the Hamilton one, there was no pile ups that i saw in this year F1

1. Alonso will sneak the title, but it'll take him to Brazil.
2. The team to beat will be Mclaren at the start of the season, RB mid season with Ferrari finishing strong.
3. Perez will win a race.
4. Webber will announce his retirement near the end of the season, triggering a big driver shake up.

And I'm going to go right out on a limb, and bet really big...

5. Williams will have an appaualing season, Sir Frank will announce the sale of the F1 side of Williams.

Knowlesy · 10 Mar 2013, 10:22 (Ref:3216620)

2. Alonso world champion.
3. Webber to announce retirement.
4. Hamilton to win two races.

Two correct, one within a tyre failure of being correct, one not far off and a hopelessly wrong champion prediction.

Ahead of the game with the Perez prediction, but that's me!

I wouldn't have thought the Perez prediction (Yes I am defending the boy)would have been likely until McLaren built a dork of a car. If the car had been as good as a Red Bull he would have had his podiums, I am sure of it.

Still its all just crystal ball gazing.

Like I said, I am simply ahead of the game.

2. Grosjean will win at least one race
3. Perez will win at least one race

1 - no no no. not even close.

2 - Yes.

3 - Nope - although this was possible in Brazil until the stewards intervened.

4 - 1 freak race saw me proved wrong, I'm pleased to say.

5 - He seemed better behaved this year, despuite what must have been a frustrating experience of driving such a bad car.

You mean 2. VDG got the Caterham to 15th I believe at a wet/dry Monaco.

Ingsy · 11 Mar 2013, 11:25 (Ref:3216980)

1. Vettel won't win the WDC
2. Williams will start slowly but will win a race by the end of the year.
3. Perez won't win a race.
4. Force India will slide backwards down the grid.
5. Hamilton will win 1 race.

p-matt · 11 Mar 2013, 12:48 (Ref:3217003)

1. Alonso will win the WDC
2. Perez, Grosjean and (going out on a limb here) Hulkenberg will all win at least one race this year
3. Neither Rosberg nor Webber will win races this year
4. Sutil and di Resta will be separated by no more than 5 points at the end of the year.
5. Marussia will beat Caterham to 10th place, but neither will score points

chris bailey · 11 Mar 2013, 13:14 (Ref:3217017)

With Perez as his team-mate, I think Jenson will have his best shot at a second driver's title, as long as the reliability issues are resolved. So, Button for WDC and Ferrari for the constructors championship. In 2014, Ferrari will be untouchable (in a good way)!

Nicholosophy · 11 Mar 2013, 14:11 (Ref:3217042)

1. WDC: Vettel (at last race against Alonso)
2. WCC: Ferrari
3. Massa to win a race this year
4. Mark Webber to announce 2014 to be his last year
5. Max Chilton to fail to make the 107% cut off more than once

Hawkwood · 11 Mar 2013, 14:01 (Ref:3217038)

Here goes nothing...

1. Perez to become an race winner
2. Grosjean to become a race winner
3. Marussia to beat Caterham
4. Red Bull to win both championships
5. Bottas to beat Maldonado in the points

Well 3/5 isn't too bad I suppose.

BSchneiderFan · 11 Mar 2013, 17:29 (Ref:3217098)

1. The WDC and the WCC will go to different teams.
2. Pérez will win a race but not score any poles.
3. Massa will score a pole but win no races.
4. Jenson Button will score more points than he scored in 2012.
5. Hamilton will win at least once.
