2009 Predictions Time-Capsule

Lewis Hamilton WDC
Mark Webber will NOT socre his maiden victory, he'll break down while in a strong position to win a race and then everyone can have lots of fun talking about how unlucky he is. There will be at least 6 different GP winners Vettel will comfortably beat Webber. Only 6 cars will be running Kers by the start of the European season. . Jenson Button will come on the drivers market, free with any purchase of a Honda Accord or similar priced model. |

Lewis Hamilton to win the WDC.
BMW to win the WCC. Nick Heidfeld to win the battle of the BMW's. Williams to finish in top four of WCC. Honda to not find a buyer. Last edited by Knowlesy; 10 Feb 2009 at 10:51. |

Here's mine.
Hamilton will win the WDC only because Kimi, Felipe, der Seb and Robbie will have points taken off them by team mates. Not more than 10 points covering McMerc, RBR, Ferrari and BMW at top of WCC, BMW by a whisker. Old fashioned drafting duel will decide Monza. Off the track: Good news story, Bernie will retire. Bad news story, Williams will quit due finance shortage. |

Hamilton wins the WDC
Ferrari continue to mess up it's drivers chances Race wins for BMW, Renault and Red Bull. No FIA Vs McLaren this season And the Banker... The new safety car rules will still cause "controversial" random results. |

here are my predictions:
No Ferrari driver will become WDC. No McLaren driver will become WDC. First wins for the teams Toyota and RBR. First win for Nick Heidfeld. Buemi will be replaced before the end of the season. |

Sweet!
-in season testing ban will be lifted at some point during season -problems at the top - Ferrari’s driver pairing will lead to turmoil within the team & Mclaren’s new team organization will lead to many mistakes. -this will open the door for a WDC and WCC other than Ferrari or Mclaren – Kubica and BMW. -Sato will replace Buemi for STR as Buemi’s funding will dry up -sadly Renault will be the next team to leave F1 |

Hamilton will win the WDC
Ferrari will have at least one highly embarrasing incident. Kubica to show flashes of brilliance Stupid mistakes from Massa Buemi is sacked or leaves before half way through the season. One major team principal to go before Christmas. Kamui Kobayashi gets a seat somewhere Honda finds a buyer part way through the season and joins in the middle of the year and is woefully uncompetitive. |

Can we make our guesses after more tests with the 09 cars have been done?
When will this be locked? |

My prediction is: During F1 races in 2009, more front wings of cars will be damaged than in the previous year.
But how many such incidents did actually happen in 2008? |
