Actually zero chance of a change tbf. And with all the talk in the thread being of the 2008 championship now, it was time for the thread.

[thetaoofshawn]

Was waiting for the first page topper myself but oh well. The Alonso to Red Bull rumours also would change my predictions.

1st - Ferrari

Felipe Massa to get his first title after a mid-season breakdown for Kimi. Going to win both championships.

2nd - BMW Sauber

Robert Kubica to come from nowhere and get 2 wins this season. Heidfeld to carry on steadying the ship to complete a successful year.

3rd - Renault

Nelson Piquet Jr to come in and shock everyone. Expect them to improve dramatically with or without the egotistical nob otherwise known as Fernando Alonso.

4th - McLaren

McLaren to decline after a successful season like only they know how. A conflict between RD and Lewis to completely disrupt them mid-season.

5th - Honda

Jenson Button to prove why he is a great driver. The Honda to do very well at the start of the season before they start battling with the mid-pack.

6th - Red Bull

The team to be very quick but a break into the top 4 ruined by reliability. If Alonso to joins he will keep talking about his displeasure with the car after a few possible podium positions ruined by the reliability.

7th - Williams

Nakajima to be a catastrophe and be dumped midseason. Rosberg to carry the team like crazy but still not manage enough points to boost them above the Red Bull + Honda.

8th - Torro Rosso

Team to start like they finished the end of last season. Picking up 10 points this season but the lack of experience with the drivers to leave them just behind the mid pack.

9th - Force F1 India (or w/e)

Mike Gascoyne to build a decent car but (insert Indian driver here) to be about as good as Tiago Monteiro. The team to pick up a point in a crazy Montreal esque race.

10th - Toyota

Pointless (literally). The team's last season as a brand before attempting to buy out Williams. The lack of Ralf's ingenius set up to make them the Honda of 2008. Trulli to give them false hope with good qualifying at the beginning of the season before they fade away.

11th - Super Aguri

The team's clear lack of money to ruin their hopes of building on the few points scored last season. Sato to plunge them into debt by putting the car into the tyres twice in the first 3 races.

[retired_kikiiscwazy]

Yeah obviously no other team has ever had a worse season than the last one before :/

[cbhoyhern]

Kovalainen to become King and completely rule the world in '08.

Alonso, Hamilton and Raikkonen to have a battle of ego's every race, leading to all three retiring every race and one of the three has a bit of a nasty crash resulting in immediate retirement.

Ouh Massa will also, finally, go through puberty next year.

[DebSchiff]

Lewis Hamilton to be crushed by a big pile of the tax money he's saving by moving to Switzerland plz.

[cbhoyhern]

P.S. Pedro De La Rosa to make a comeback with [insert team name here] and show they he is the best driver the sport has ever seen...or just the best surname.

[retired_felicityh]

Felipe to improve again this season please. And the Ferrari to be more reliable. Thanks.

[aeonteal]

McLaren to get Heiki, put this season behind us and work on to winning the constructors and a close run for the drivers Championship would be nice. In reality though, the red scummers will probably win both titles.

[retired_jesenia]

Yeah, anyone ever have a go at me for making match threads early and I'll kill them

[aeonteal]

It's not like this is the Bahrain GP thread, it's the whole season's and the season starts now in terms of preperation and confirming drivers etc etc.

Would like to see you try killing someone tbh
