Who will win the F1 Championship?

[John]

On the same lines as the WRC poll - who do you think will win in F1 this year?

Hopefully someone other than MSchu would make a nice change!

[Claw]

why have 2 threads. just put a poll on the other thread.

[AussieV8]

The Aussie in a Pommie car of course.

[Claw]

F1 is not as hot as the WRC in terms of who will win.
Unfortunatly "that man" will win....again!

It's more like who will come second. Montoya will come second.

I wish Trulli would win! :D

[John]

I hope Button wins!! But slightly more realistically, depending on the new car, maybe Coulthard?

I've voted for Schumacher though on the basis of if I expect him to win then I'll have a nice surprise if he doesnt!

[AussieV8]

It will be a big ask for all the new teams to try and beat Schuie this year but I hope they are closer than last year.
The Toyotas could be a dark horse.

[Claw]

I hope that Jordan brining there car out late won't effect them to much. Fisichella deserves a good car, and it will be interesting to see if Firman is any good.

[Ed- the MG fan]

Exactly what I think. Fishchella is one of the best drivers out there at the mommemt. I thoiught it was pure skill when he kept Coulthad behind hoim at the A1 Ring


An Italian at Ferriar? That would be good

[Claw]

Yeah, it would be good, but Ferrari are a bit sceptical over that ever since Italian Capelli drove, and he didn't do to well.
Mostly it wasn't his fault, it was cos the Ferrari team molded the car around Alesi and Capelli just had to put up with it! :(

Clawman views on the F1 teams for 2003!


Ferrari - I can't see anyone beating them, and seeing there 2003 car, I think they will walk this year.
Williams - The car only looks slightly radical, they will win a few races between them.
Mclaren - I expect them to be best of the rest, if testing is anything to go by, they have tweaked last years car, and Kimi will win this year.
Renault - Will mix it with the top 3 teams and Trulli will get that podium he fully deserves and it's hard to say how Alonso will go, but he may surprise.
Jordan - It's about time they had a good car and Fisichella will hopefully show his potensial. Also I hope the car is good enough to show Firman's full potensial.
Jaguar - Hmmm. Webber and Pizzonia is a brave combo, but it will pay off!
BAR - The car looks stunning, and Button and JV now have a car that is good enough to get podiums. I think they will go very well.
Sauber - Also there car looks great and Heidfeld and Frentzen is a vey strong patnership. They will go very well and it's got last years Ferrari engine and gearbox in it!!
Toyota - Must improve on last year otherwise some major changes are needed. Da Matta has looked impressive and Panis needs to do very well, as I think he's getting towards the end of his F1 career.
Minardi - Now with Cosworth engines they will get what they deserve - more than 1 or 2 points a season if they are lucky! Verstappen will do well I think and i'm not to sure with Wilson.


My prediction. Lets see if any of it comes true!

:)

[V6.]

Are they doing that top eight positions scoring points cos that will increase the competitivness of the lower teams and will be good in my veiw.

[John]

Yeah the top 8 scoring was brought in for F1s benefit then the FIA decided to use it in Rallying as well.

[Ann]

I'm very much afraid it will be a repeat again but I really do believe DC has an excellent chance if the car comes good.

[AussieV8]

Schuie should win this year again but he want have it easy.

[Claw]

Hopefully with team order "banned", Barrichello can show us all that he is better than MS and beat him!

[AussieV8]

Well said (typied) we can only wait and see.

[Ed- the MG fan]

Who bet for Trulli??

He is a class driver, but didn't the team admit that the 2003 car is way down on power

Guess who! :p

[AussieV8]

I voted for the new driver "other":rolleyes:

[Claw]

...and who is that other, unless you have a problem with me voting for Trulli!

[AussieV8]

No probs, just saying who I voted for. :D :rolleyes: :p

[Claw]

Well who was the "other" you voted for?

As you didn't vote for Raikkonen, Monty, MS, RS or DC or RB. (almost forgot him) Your vote has got to be as stupid as mine!

[AussieV8]

Can't help being thick my other was Mr Webber of course.
:o
