2005 predictions

love to hear from my esteemed colleagues, so much to look forward to:

- what is the finishing order for 05. driver? team?
- will no richards make jenson go faster?
- will anyone notice jacques is still around?
- is williams still a team?
- will imperial83 admit his most treasured autograph is Sato??
-has ralfie fallen far enough to seek his own level or is there a few more floors down to go?
- is renault for real in top 3???
- can whiner beat the glowerer on mcC?
-can Slowmaker lose more than 3 races???

 

Ahhh, Giuseppe, how we never tire of talking F1

--Finishing order is anyone's guess, with the smart money on Ferrari.
--My gut feeling on BAR is, DR got them straightened out, now they're in business for themselves.
--I like Jacques. Jacques is done.
--Williams is going to come on like a friggin' lion. Mark Webber is going to be the most talked-about driver of '05. MY WORDS.
--Ralfie. Hmmm. Let's put it this way: Ralfie lives in an elevator shaft. On the way down, his collar snagged on Toyota's floor. Minardi is below.

 

- how much more money will HONDA invest in BAR to keep Sato around?
- will HONDA have to buy out BAT's stake in BAR by 2006 to keep their poster boy in F1?

 

My predictions aren't probably worth the electrons spent on them going through the wire, but here it goes:

- Kimi and JPM will win some races
- Toyota will do better than last year, probably surprising a few people with Ralf on the podium
- Sauber will go like gang busters and be the best of the rest (meaning fifth in the constructor's list)
- Michael will take #8 home
- Red Bull will fight hard to keep Minardi at bay
