F1 Australian GP: Your predictions.. (Read 1224 times)
Mar 15th, 2007 at 3:33pm

Just a bit of fun, give your predictions for the GP this Sunday, podium (Top 3) only.
10 points for each correct prediction, 5 points for right prediction, wrong place ie 1st = 2nd.

Example:

1 Alonso
2 Button
3 Massa

If the race finishes like the above, 30 points to you (All 3 correct). If Button finishes second (correct prediction), but Massa wins (right prediction, wrong place) and Alonso doesn't finish, 15 points to you... get it?

No prizes, just a bit of SimV kudos  Smiley Maybe we can carry this throughout the season?

1: Massa
2: Hamilton
3: Alonso

I think Kimi will be up there by bahrain but it could take him a while to adapt his style for the Ferrari in race trim. Hamilton I dont know why but I think for the first race or two will finish higher than Alonso, but end up with a Rosberg type season.

remember Lewis made his name by making passing moves in gp2 that were risky and impossible to make in an F1 car.  Wink

My prediction is that we'll see lots of adverts going round and round in a circle at a couple of hundred Km/H Grin

Alonso, Kimi, Massa (if he can make it through the grid, if not Heidfeld, assuming he doesn't break).

Massa took an engine change so is starting last.
I dont think Alonso will win. He is working twice as hard in the car to get simmilar performance. Cant do that for the whole race.

I have to find out when the race is going to be shown to TV here. Starts in 6 minutes, but I doubt they will show it live... its 23:00 local.

Which part are you referring too? The adverts or the fact that it's going several hundred km/h? I dont think Honda can or has a chance for either. Wink Smiley

Good race. I wont say anymore for those who haven't seen it. Not a huge fan of the track but it provides a nice setting for first race.

They showed it live so I only caught the first 45 minutes. Raikönnen was just blowing the competition away. 15 second lead at about the 20th lap...

The scores from the first round:
1st: cyspyro21                15 pts
2nd= Heretic                   10 pts
        elite marksman      10 pts
       Craig.                     10 pts
       CharlottesDad         10 pts

A better than average race, not a thriller in my opinion. Highlights include Lewis Hamilton giving us Brits something to cheer about and Heike Kovaleinen doing his best to outdo the spins on Dancing on Ice  Grin
Lowpoint was DC's attempt to decapitate Alex Wurz, which very nearly succeeded.. 6 inches closer and it would have.. Shocked

Next round Malaysia 8th April.

to be fair to DC he was not 100% to blame, Wurz did admit that he saw him in his mirrors.

Ta for the link Craig...
I wasn't joking when I said 6 inches.... seriously, we could have seen the most horrifying incident EVER in Formula 1.
Fair play to DC though, he admitted it was his fault and went straight to Wurz after the race and apologised.

What happened? It looks like DC got sideways from the pictures, but why? Did Wurz tap him or something?

DC went for a rather optimistic pass but going too fast for the corner he carried straight on as Wurz gave him room for what he thought was a pass up the inside. Unfortunatly with DC going straight on because of the speed the back wheel of dc hit Wurz's back wheel and sent him over the top of wurz's car.
