Formula 1 2010 - who will be World Driver's Champion?

abhijitaparadh · 24th December 2009, 00:13

Now that all major drivers have finalized teams, lets start with a poll.
Will the Schumi-Brawn combination do the magic again? Or Hamilton and Alonso will also have say in it?

My 1St choice -Hamilton, the end of 2009 session he score more points than other drivers, He is expecting more in 2010 session .He won't lose very easily.
2nd choice - Alonso with new team , good driver,
3rd- Scuhmi- 3 years gap from F1 racing, He need to work hard to finding championship.

My choices will be as follows:
1st - Alonso - He got the car which he deserves as his talent has been getting a good power from the car.
2nd - Schumacher - His experience & talented driving ability makes it to be a world champion with a good powered car, but he has to work hard.
3rd - Hamilton - He has some good skills which he is still trying to improve, so he may be another contender.

Mind says Hamilton and Alonso, heart says SCHUMI, as always...

The odds are against Schumacher winning - an outstanding driver on a comeback trail, with new rules, into a new management team. 2011 is more realistic for a Schumacher win, although if the car remains competitive, expect him to end up 2nd or 3rd in the WDC - which by itself is an achievement for anyone.

Although I'm a McLaren fan, I've stopped betting on them - they're not in the same league as they were in during Ron Dennis' era.

The other contender Alonso is a possibility, assuming his car works for him.

Very interesting and open 2010 WDC !

I would put it this way.

With an outstanding Driver like Schumacher, an Outstanding Team Boss - Ross and an outstanding Team - Mercedes

This awesome threesome combo will surely work for Schumi.

My Vote goes to Schumi.

I guess it will be Nico Rosberg instead of schumi.

With Brawn and Mercedez, its no doubt that they are going to have a quick car.

Last year Ross Brawn presented a car which was miles ahead of others in terms of technical details.

If that car can catapult Button to top, i think this time its Rosberg's turn.

Why do we need a poll when Micheal is going to be around next season!?

Exactly

Couldn't have asked for a better New-Year's gift

Too early to tell. Will depend on how the cars shape up. Have to wait for testing time sheets for any sort of perspective.

dkhatau · 24th December 2009, 10:33

Ross Brawn and schumi, well a deadly combination. Schumi will be champion again.

intoxicangel · 24th December 2009, 10:42

Schumi.. and this is gonna be another boring season of F1.. one driver dominating and one car being shown on screen most of the times!! yawn!!!

gomzi · 24th December 2009, 11:52

Its too early to tell. It could be anybody at this moment.

Funny no one has mentioned Vettel yet although I can see 1 vote for him.

SamtheLeo · 24th December 2009, 11:56

My estimated order

Schumi
Hamilton
Alonso / Button / Massa

gunner fan · 24th December 2009, 12:16

Heart is with Schumi and Ferrari, thus order SHOULD be

1. Schumi
2. Alonso
3. frankly doesnt matter
