My FIA Formula 3000 International Championship Predictions for winners of the first race, March 31 2001

1- Justin Wilson
2- Mark Webber
3- Darren Manning
4- Sebastien Bourdais
5- David Saelens
6- Jaime Melo Jr.

Anyone else want to predict the results?

Marshal · 21 Mar 2001, 13:52 (Ref:73292)

Hi Dan.

Hmm, first race, and none of the teams have been to Interlagos before.

I'd say,

1. Webber
2. Wilson
3. Sperafico (but I'm not saying which one, so that's 2 guesses for the price of 1)
4. Enge
5. Manning
6. Pizzonia

And the boy Webber to be Champion. Now some of our Antipdean freinds are bound to agree with that

**bella** · 21 Mar 2001, 14:02 (Ref:73295)

one of the sperafico twins will win..

ok, realistically? webber's up for the championship, and pizzonia's got more speed than you can wave a stick at, so he's bound to be in there somewhere. unless he met his match in f3k, but that's pretty unlikely.

marcus · 21 Mar 2001, 14:28 (Ref:73299)

yep ..i agree...Mark Webber should win the championship..hopefully ..he will definately be a top contender...

i dont know much of the filed so i dont want to comment on the others..but this Pizzonia guy sure seems awlful fast and I have seen the Sperafico brothers race in F3 and they were quite good..maybe for 2002 for one of them though.

should be a good year anyway.

Sniffer · 21 Mar 2001, 19:55 (Ref:73362)

So Sniffer, what is it you've been sniffing?

Welcome to 10 tenths, I hope all your posts are as entertaining!

elephino · 22 Mar 2001, 10:29 (Ref:73541)

Mark Webber. Seeing as I don't get to see the races, this is all I'll be able to know anyway.

Lola 1 · 22 Mar 2001, 18:45 (Ref:73654)

Good to read all your predictions and that Mark Webber is coming out favourite. My partner is his number 1 mechanic and is gearing up for Brazil.Glad to know that they have plenty of support.

Marshal · 22 Mar 2001, 23:22 (Ref:73765)

Hi Lola and welcome to 10 Tenths. I hope you stick around and can give us an insiders insight into F3000. And send our best to Mark.

DanFlag · 22 Mar 2001, 23:55 (Ref:73774)

Yeah hi Lola,

If you've got anything, let us know, I might even post it on F3000.com

**gomick** · 23 Mar 2001, 07:01 (Ref:73833)

yep, have to agree with elephino - although sniffer they are great crystal balls you got.....

FEUsmart · 23 Mar 2001, 21:14 (Ref:73990)

I reckon it will be something like:

Wilson
Webber
Bourdais

If Bourdais can hold it all together this year, I think these three will break clear of the rest of the field by mid season. Pizzonia will lead the rest. KJR Monaco will wish they hadn't bothered. Jamie Davies will make a surprise return mid-season.

So anyway, with KJR still entering, and confirming Justin Keen, that still leaves one spare seat in the championship. I would guess they'd go for someone who's done some testing this year, or an experienced driver so that they won't be quite so out of their depth at Brasil. First race with drivers that haven't tested the cars - should be interesting! Who do you guys reckon might get this last chance seat??

DanFlag · 23 Mar 2001, 21:23 (Ref:73996)

Rodrigo Sperafico ?

Fiorentina 1 · 23 Mar 2001, 22:08 (Ref:74007)

Damn sniffer, points and everything!

1. Bourdais
2. Manning
3. Ri.Sperafico
3. Weber
4. J.Wilson
5. Pizzonia
6. Pantano
7. Saelens
8. Haberfield
9. Gollin
10. Enge

Daisy · 24 Mar 2001, 18:39 (Ref:74170)

It can be a very nice season. Some very good drivers stayd (webber, wilson, bourdais, enge, saelens, manning) and some talented drives could be some good things (pizzonia, pantano, friesacher, sperafico). End of the seasons top 10

01. J Wilson (hope)
02. M Webber
03. D Manning
04. S Bourdais
05. A Pizzonia
06. T Enge
07. D Saelens
08. J Melo Jr.
09. R Sperafico (ricardo)
10. M Haberfeld

Maybe I'll change it if I know the Fortec drivers, but I don't think they will be so good, they can come in the top 10. But never say never.

Lisa Davidson · 26 Mar 2001, 14:13 (Ref:74558)

Hi

My first post!

I think Justin Wilson will win!

And I hope so too as he is the best!!!

I think Pizzonia will have a good season as well after doing so well last year and I'd like to see Darren Manning win races as well but it's got to be Justin!

he deserves to get to F1 next year as he has proved himself in everything he's driven so far!

Welcome aboard Lisa,

Thanks for your predictions input!

JVA · 27 Mar 2001, 21:38 (Ref:74831)

Hi, I am new here.

I think that the Begium drivers will race good this saison.
David Saelens have a chance of winning the tittle I think.
The great contenter will be Mark Webber!

I' am from Belgium and I like F3000 as well as F1
I hope that I can learn a little bit of English here also.

This forum looks to be OK for me.

Welcome aboard JVA,
