Yeah, as Jab says it was in Autosport!

Not sure predicting Virgin won't win any races really counts as a prediction! On that note I don't think HRT, Lotus or even USF1 will win as well

MikeManNZ · 11 Mar 2010, 00:30 (Ref:2649288)

1. Lewis to win championship.
2. TGF to score 4 podiums in the first 7 races.
3. Button to finish higher than Lewis in at least 4 races.
4. None of the "New" teams will score a podium
5. Sauber to be in the top 4 teams.

Super Hans · 11 Mar 2010, 08:50 (Ref:2649426)

Thank you for all your entries.

See you in November.

Super Hans · 14 Nov 2010, 22:00 (Ref:2790633)

So how did you get on?

3/5 - I'm quite pleased with that!

**Born Racer** · 14 Nov 2010, 22:03 (Ref:2790634)

Next year, I might try this a bit less ridiculously. My outlandish predictions just did not work.

My Button one wasn't ridiculous, but alas it was just the two wins.

Looking back, most were ridiculous.

Hamilton will beat Button but by less than 15 pts - Damn 26
TGF will beat Rosberg by less than 10 pts - shoot he lost
Vettel will beat Webber by at least 15 pts - 14, if only Webber hadn't finished
Red Bull will win the WCC woo

1 fully correct and 1 technically correct.
and almost a third

Three correct.

The McLaren prediction wasn't far out and Webber is pending.

That wasn't very good, was it, but at least 1 and 4 were correct and I think I might claim 2 as well, with the proviso that he didn't out-drive him, but it has been good to see them finishing so close in the last couple of races.

4) Force India will win a race
5) Hamilton will be Champion again

I need to consult a better oracle.

Now I will be happy to be wrong because I would like all those predictions to be wrong

5 out of six turned out to be wrong.... I'm happy with that.

5. One of the new teams (probably Lotus or Virgin) will score a podium.

Oh dear.

Although I suppose the Campos one was kind of correct... *clutches at straws*

Knowlesy · 15 Nov 2010, 10:13 (Ref:2790900)

That last one was shocking RG, what were you thinking?

4. Team orders will rear their ugly head at the Scuderia.
5. Webber will re-create his Le Mans flip at Valencia.

This is the winner.

4) Michael Schumacher will win at least 1 race
5) There will be no new winners, driver-wise and team-wise (something I predict every year but it's got to stick at some point)

Got two right

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Nov 2010, 11:57 (Ref:2790966)

All of my predictions were correct. I just didn't post them.

4. Lewis Hamilton to score 3 more victories over the full season than Jenson Button
5. After Felipe Massa gets the head start for knowing the team alot more than Fernando, Fernando will spit the dummy out (again) and Ferrari will treat Fernando as their number one driver

Maybe half a point for Number 5 as Fernando did spit the dummy out abit and got ferrari to treat him as numero uno? Also half a point as Branson does have to wear a Air Asia stewardess uniform? If not 1 out of 5 even though Campos is HRT and USF1 never showed up

Lancsbreaker · 15 Nov 2010, 13:52 (Ref:2791028)

Didn't see this at the start of the year, but I'll watch out for it next year......great fun seeing the range of predictions......When I get time I might check a bit further but the gut feeling is that predictions of Schumi's (good) performance were perhaps the most consistently wrong ;-)

Indeed.

Although my prediction that a German would win the title proved correct, I mainly had Schumacher in mind, which seems utterly crazy now.

4- The Renault will be a dog.
5- Schumacher and Alonso to have arguably the best on-track battle at some point through the season

Hmm..

1. Button surprised me, but I suppose I was nearly right seeing as he kept his cool
2. Well, he beat him. Does that count?
3. Thank you, Kamui Kobayashi's front wing

4. Damn, their best car since 2006.
5. Not even close...

This was fun! Maybe I'll try take it more seriously next time...

This is like claiming to have scored a Premier League goal even though you were flagged offside.

I feel bad to point out that although you were right that Rosberg has proven to be by far Schumacher's biggest challenge, he has outscored him by so much that he's probably been far from his closest team-mate ever.

5. Only one driver who is not from Europe will win a race.

1. Wrong.
2. Well... Sauber didn't finish in the top 5 aswell, but otherwise correct.
3. Wrong.
4. More than twice as much, right!
5. Correct, although I rather thought of Massa than Webber.

3. the title fight will go down to the last round with 4 drivers: hamilton, vettel, schumacher and alonso all capable of winning the title. - close! but no cigar....
4. hulkenberg will have more than double barrichello's points at season's end... erm, that was a typo - i meant it the other way around....
5. lotus will be the highest points scorer of the new teams. - i should have been talking classification and not points....

haha, i forgot about this thread. Good value it turned out to be.... only 0 from 5....

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I was just too lazy to put effort into proving myself wrong...
