2017 team pecking order predictions

So we may look back at this at the end of the season, I would like to see where everyone is sizing up things based on the information we have now, which is very little which makes it more fun.

1) Mercedes
2) Ferrari
3) Red Bull
4) McLaren
5) Williams
6) Force India
7) Renault
8) Haas
9) Sauber
etc

 

Ok Im in!

1 - Mercedes
2 - Red Bull
3 - Ferrari
4 - Williams
5 - Mclaren
6 - Renault
7 - Force India
8 - Haas
9 - Sauber

 

1. RBR (seems to have had some aces up their sleeves towards end of 2016)
2. Mercedes
3. Ferrari
4. Williams
5. Force India
6. McHonda
7. Haas
8. Renault
9. Sauber

 

Sure hope someone beats Mercedes!

 

Not too sure about this. As a Tifoso, of course I hope for better. How about this:

1) Mercedes
2) Ferrari
3) Red Bull
4) Williams
5) McLaren
6) Renault
7) Haas
8) Force India
9) Sauber

Ferrari may benefit more from added traction in new tire set up.

In my dreams of course


In reality, definitely a great year to get plenty of sleep on a Sunday as Mercedes probably get both titles again. A few new tyres and tweaks won't make up for the built in engine advantage they have

 

Red Bull > strongest driver line up, great design team, question is the engine...
Mercedes > more hope that they can get dethroned than anything
Ferrari > last years turmoil and throwing everything around happened to late I fear
Torro Rosso > I think they could surprise with a strong Renault engine
Mclaren > A better working engine, more understanding...surely they can do something!?
Williams > inexperienced rich kid and a tired Massa will cost them
Force India > no money, though they continue to surprise so wouldn't be surprised if they finish 4th!
Renault > They can't go more backwards surely!
Sauber > more experience than Haas
Haas > I presume they have to build their own car now, without Ferrari suspension and peek notes...

 

Might add Manor to the back end of the list?

 

Manor is a huge question mark right now...need funding....I think thats why Bas did'nt add which is understandable.

 

everyone did'nt add them that has posted

 

Yep. I don't think they'll participate. They where around 4 seconds of the pace last year, they don't have a car and want to use last years car. Basically if they want to do that is they widen the floor, their wings will be bodge jobs to comply to new regulations. The car won't qualify, they'll be too far off the pace. They don't even have drivers, no sponsor is dumb enough to fund anyone to drive for that team right now, as that money will go straight to the creditors, not to the attempted run of that team...

If by some miracle they'll make it to the grid in Australia, they'll be bankrupt by the start of the European season.

 

This

 

and as we say that...Manor has officially collapsed.

 

As far as I know, they still can buy Ferrari parts. Although they won´t have unlimited wind tunnel time like in their first year.

Anyway: maybe we should wait to see the cars testing or something before trying to do a prediction, shouldn´t we?

 

Thats why FERRARIPILOT posted this in the beginning, very little info(last yrs and current 2017 changes) to base your predictions at the time he posted this. He states it on his first post. Thats what makes it interesting.

 

1 - McLaren

BOOM.

 

Gracious.

1. BMW

Oh wait...

 

Haha! It would be cool! Maybe one day if Liberty and the FIA change the climate sufficiently. They certainly do like to battle Merc.

 

Then this is just like roulette. I prefer something like poker: you need luck, but you also have to guess something.
