The official F1 grand prix discussion & prediction thread. Post all predictions here.

Mclaren, Renault, Honda the top three from 2006 other than the Scuderia Ferrari also Changed Tyre Company .

Ferrari has a few years head start on Bridgestone and last time Bridgestone was the only supplier Ferrari had almost bespoke tyres, Though it is highly unlikely now.

Going slightly off track there should also be a poll on the worst liveried Car in F1. I would vote for Renault

Clearly Mclaren vs Ferrari, expect a few wins for BMW and a few surprises from Williams.

tif0si · 1st March 2007, 17:19

Ferrari all the way!!!!!! they seem to be having a very good package, so without doubt this year is gonna be a comeback for the scarlet team!!

MaserQ · 1st March 2007, 17:56

As of now, we know that the drivers championship is wide open, which is going to make the season a whole lot interesting! On paper it is going to be Kimi and Fernando. But...

Quote:

I'm going to be following him closely. At the moment he knows more about the Ferrari than Kimi

100%. Massa knows his car inside out, having raced, tested and helped develop the Ferrari. He understands the team and knows his engineers well. It will take time for Kimi to adjust to his new car/team. But when he does...he will blitz the field!

suman · 1st March 2007, 18:05

I voted for Kimi & I think it'll be a fight between him & Alonso as long as he hasn't carried his wretched luck of DNF to the Ferrari camp!

By the way, I hate Alonso but I hate Massa just that little bit more

OT: Nachu, you really need to bang in a few more posts man.......just 14 in 16 months!

kphilip · 1st March 2007, 18:37

Sad to see a poll without Michael! My vote goes for Kimi.Massa runner up ..There'll be a tight match between massa and kimi like schumi and barichello had once..

rranjith_kum · 1st March 2007, 22:35

Alonso ... if the car stays in order till the cheq flag...

Mugen_Power · 1st March 2007, 22:41

I voted for Kimi.....

finneyp · 1st March 2007, 22:56

Yes, Kimi on the Ferrari is all set to win the Championship this year! Good luck to him!

Sure it feels weird and will be same for couple of races.

I feel Massa really has a very good chance of winning WDC, only if he gets it right. He has that bonkers type moment where he gives it away. He should be ahead before Kimi really gets the hang of the car.
Kimi or Massa what difference does it makes? Its Ferrari!!!

Please accept it..pleaseee..its all over..its all over for ferrari...you guys have to wait for schumi's son now..to win another c'ship at ferrari..and i think thats another errrrr 10years from now..Ferrari were on the top because of schumi..but now that thts over..its a downfall..
Alonso's the man..but i hope mclaren provides the fire power..hamilton will still need sometime to become big in f1.

manson · 2nd March 2007, 00:18

You anti schumi/ferrari guys are all confused, sometimes schumi was the reason foe the team being up there, at several occasions i ve read abt the car being the main reason for schumi being up there!!
whats with the hatred, please make up your mind.

Exactly my sentiments... GAWD he should have stayed a little longer

.
Anyways for this year my predictions: Its gonna be a tough one between Kimi and Massa. But I feel Kimi will come on top.
As for Alphonso, his dream run should be over unless McLaren dont screw him up like they did Kimi. Still he wont be a match for the Men in Red.

P.S.- WHO has voted for Scott Speed in the poll???????
