Schumi, Kimi, Alonso is more like it.

Taking forward what Nitrous said on the other thread, this year will sure be painted RED!!! And Kimi will follow. I still have not gotten to liking Renault.

Couldnt put it better 2L8

About Sepang, its definately one those circuits where things get very hot. The heat really gets to you and it is an enduring race for the drivers and the cars equally. Also as per the rules the same engines from Sakhir will be used here.

I think Schumi will be really pumped up after Baharain. I'm expecting him to win this one. I hope Kimi gets reliability this time around I want to see some wheel to wheel racing between him and Schumi. Not really an Alonso fan but the Renault looks strong . Honda didnt impress me much.

Nico Roberg is my favourite from the rest of the pack. Expect this youngster to be higher in the point this time around. Massa is quick too. he should do well .

My predictions :

1.Schumi
2.Kimi
3.Alonso

Another point is that the Michelins perform better in hot conditions than the Bridgestones. That will also be something to look out for

sridhar24 · 14th March 2006, 18:31

Its become really difficult to predict the winner this season, its so close between the 4 top teams Renault, Ferrari, Mclaren, Honda.
But my prediction is-
1. Schumi
2.Alonso
3.Kimi
4.Button/Barrichello

Dippy chances are less that it stays hot.. Looking at weather forecast it does not seem to be very hot. Sat,Sun and Mon are forecasted with thunder storms.

Guys, here is my recommendation, we should always put a poll in the future for the race.... I am tipping Alonso for victory and Monty second.... lets see

merve_extreme · 14th March 2006, 20:42

my predictions are

Michael
Alonso
Massa or Kimi

and if ferrari is struggling( i just hope that Bahrain was their real pace,because the F2005 was also very fast at Bahrain last year)

Alonso
Kimi
Button

deven_x · 14th March 2006, 22:55

i say....kimi/alonso/button....

Minardi · 14th March 2006, 23:06

aseem,

i agree with your opinion about schumi. but i feel kimi is the best overtaker. time and again he has started last and finished on the podium. alonso is very good at defending.

Kimi is going to be handful for the others drivers, for sure. Much as I cheer Ferrari, I couldn't help but admire the tenacity of McLaren.

buzzin_hornets · 15th March 2006, 02:26

i would say..

schumi
massa
kimi/alonso
button/roseberg

williams n bmw are runnin storng .. gr8 to c that redbull have a pretty competitive car this year..

Missed the first GP of the season.... good race anyhow.

Michel is given prefence bcz he is the one who build FERRARI sucking all top engineers from major teams in 90's..... it is not his teammates who did it...

Minardi · 15th March 2006, 09:38

Kimi is bloody fast no doubt, but his amazing run from 22nd to 3rd was more because the one-stop strategy was vastly superior to the 2-stopper. In fact Kimi's fastest lap was slower than JPM's fastest lap!
