Hulkenberg? You're putting a rookie in his first race on equal odds with Massa and Schumi? Pretty radical... :rolleyes:

Why not? If the FW32 is as good as people say it is and if the Hulk is up to it I don't see why he can't mix it with the front runners. If that is the case then Barrichello will be up there too.


the FW32 is prob the 5th best car...

Do you have this week's lottery numbers? :P


See you in court

If certain revalations about Sauber are true. Then Williams certainly isn't 5th best.

Martin Brundle mentioned something interesting. From the teams we expect to be on top, we have 8 drivers, each capable of winning races, and one of those drivers has to finish 8th in the championship. Thats gotta sting a little.

Well going off the recent tyre news I've certainly changed my veiws

1. Red Bull
2. Mercedes (well maybe won't be the 2nd best to start off the year but by years end they will be IMO)
3. McLaren
4. Ferrari
5. Sauber
6. Williams
7. Force India
8. Toro Rosso
9. Renault
10. Lotus
11. Virgin
12. Campos

So I can see The top 8 teams aiming for podiums in races (Toro Rosso do seem to have a half decent car IMO and Buemi could do it at an Albert Park or something)

^^^ n.b. Ferrari are said to have good tyre treatment too, and Renault reckon they ran heavy fuel throughout testing...

It is still far too close, but I would agree.

Now after all the changes in points and whatever it would be fitting to increase the podiums to first four instead of three. maybe I should have called bernie about that idea.

Nah can't be 4. 3 is the magic number!

It will only mean one extra bottle a bubbly. no trophy required ..

Podiums only have 3 steps. It's, like, the law.

we could make it even more exciting. 25 points for 3rd 18 for 2nd 15 for 4th. nobody will want to come first.

^^No

Autosport all have their predictions in for who will finish top 5, in the WDC and WCC. They've made an average of everyone's predictions, and Alonso is tipped to be WDC, with Lewis close in 2nd. Vettel and Massa in 3rd and 4th, a fair bit further behind, whilst Schumacher in 5th.

Button and Webber were 6th and 7th with not much love. Whilst Rosberg didn't get a single vote.


Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how the championship will finish.

The odds are on Lewis and Alonso, couldn't agree with you more ;). This is if the cars are equal the whole season
