Sixteen days til F1 season...predictions?
I'm thinking Schumi, now that he's gotten the bugbear off his back. But the traction control thing will be interesting, when it is approved shortly after the start of the season.
It bums me out that none of the other teams are really competitive with Ferrari and McLaren, although word is that Montoya is really fast, and so is Alesi, of all people!
Oh, this is an awesome forum.

Alesi setting such fast times in the new Prost-Ferrari is pretty interesting.
But come tech inspection in Australia, things are likely to be more normal, Ferrari vs. McLaren. I'll go out on a limb, and say DC.
McLaren has looked wicked fast in pre-season this year, and Mika wasn't full heart and soul going for the championship in the first half of last season, so I'm guessing he won't be again this year. I hope I'm wrong, 'cause he can win the WC again if commits 100%.
DC vs. Schumi, w/Schumi having a car not as fast. Should be some bumping and banging again 'tween those two. And they won't be friendly to each other in the press.
If the Ferrari is fast it will come down to reliability.

i'll have to agree with OnTheGas. if it's gonna be ferrari, it'll be up to reliability too. i would like to think that every year, it comes down to luck.
yeah, and who is gonna carry F1? i hope it'll be fox sports again, because i don't have speedvision.

This year...I'm betting on Footwork...oh wait...no Lotus...well maybe not...how about Tyrell...damn Uncle Ken is gone...
I think Williams will do well with the addition of Montoya unless he does a Zanardi...
I too think Schumi Sr. will do well but I always pull for the underdogs like Jordan (Eddie's always got great looking umbrella girls...damn him...) Sauber, and of course...Minardi...
For some reason, I just can't back McLaren/Mercedes...is it because Couthard's jaw is as wide as the race transporter that pulls his car??? [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Well I do respect Schumi, however, I think the days of the McLaran/Ferrari domination are coming to an end. Not to say that one of them wont win the championship, but I do not think that the disparity between M & F and the rest of the teams will be so large.
I saw on speedvision, that out of the 1617 or so laps in the 2000 season, M & F lead all but 9!
That is as one sided as it gets. Things to remember. Honda is involved with two teams this year, BAR and Jordan (GO Heinz Herald Frentzen!!!!, GO Trulli!!!!). And honda has NEVER entered into any form of motorsports without being VERY, I say it again VERY successful! I look for Jordan to be best of the rest this year. Montoya is a wild card. You can count on Ralph to perform quite well, he always does. I just dont know what to think of Juan Pablo. He has the car, and he definitely has the talent. Time will tell.
Other possible wild cards nobody else has mentioned... Benetton, has a new Renault engine that might be very strong. Jenson Button supprised everybody last year. That kid is talented!
So my predicitions.... (and these are way out but hey I can hope) is a championship for Frentzen! I know laugh all you want, but when I go to INDY again this year I promise you I will be waving my Jordan flag!!!
Whoo hooo

It will be Schuey all the way again, there's no stopping him. Think about it, he has been in the 2nd best car for the last 4 years and has taken the championship to the last race each year. I magine Mika or DC in that situation, they wouldn't have done much. I think Mika is a great driver, but he also has a great car, the best. DC is over rated and a cry baby, just like Ron Dennis. Now that Schumacher has gotten that first win for Ferrari behind him there will be no stopping him. He will be confident and relaxed. It will once again be a battle between McLaren and Ferrari. Look for good performances from Villeneuve, maybe Montoya, Jenson should start to drive in a more mature manner and do quite well. Anyway, cant wait

ARROWS!!?? Methinks Kyle done hitteth the cracketh pipe.
Seriously, though, I think, and sincerely hope that there will be noise from other teams this season. Williams is on the cusp, and the two Honda teams, given the pace of development that Honda is capable, could be threatening.
The other wild card is that, according to the AutoWeek report, driver aids like traction control and fully automatic gearboxes are expected to rear their heads again.
If the big teams have been cheating all along, and now the little teams can have that stuff too, won't THAT make things a hoot?
My dark horses are Villeneuve, Frentzen, and Montoya, though I'd like to see Alesi do something.
It would cause me physical pain if DC won the title. Covering the USGP last year, I got to see how comprehensive a prick he really is. He has his nice face on for the TV press conference via world feed. At the print meetings, where there are no cameras...it's staggering how rude and petulant he is.
Speedvision is again the network of record. There was a nasty rumor that ESPN2 was looking to get the rights, but we all know what would have happened had that occurred.

Forgive me guys for a somewhat related question, but what has been the initial opinions on Montoya? I know GTGuy mentioned he was fast, any additional info about his progress thus far?
One more not-so related question. What do you guys think were the reasons why Zanardi had a very unsuccessful try at F1? Was it him, the team, a combo of the two?
Sorry, I'm a big F1 fan, but knowing the winner of the previous race is all the knowledgeable I am about it [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif[/img]( doesn't help that my Autosport subscription ran out right before the WRC season started either [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

Obviously, not much in the way of real performance information is to be gleaned from testing, as regards what a team will actually do. But reports are that when Montoya hasn't been squabbling with Ralf, he's been setting hotter times, going faster than the car really has a right to. Plus, the BMW learning curve is still spiraling upward. We know Montoya has talent and is fearless. But F1 makes a good ride critical.
Ah, Zanardi. There's a host of speculation about that one. Some say that driving CART made him lazy, and unable to cope with the twitchier F1 chassis. Others, that he could never get comfortable with the F1 car. He even tried cast iron brake rotors on his ride! Crikey!
I think that it was a combination of great expectations, a car that wasn't really up to snuff, and yes, a driver whose competitive skills weren't up to snuff. Had he been given more time, I think that his talent would have taken over. But such as it was...
Let's not also forget that we don't really know how fast Zanardi was, since he never had a competitive F1 drive. When he bopped over to CART he got the Ganassi ride, which at that time was like the McLaren of CART. Hey, if Vasser could win a title driving a Ganassi ride, somebody with real talent would have had as easy a time as Zanardi.
But rarely does CART feed stars to F1. Usually, it's the other way around. Look at people like Mark Blundell, or Nigel Mansell who was done in F1, but went over to CART to nab some championships. Villeneuve is different, in the sense that he's a clear talent, who showed what he could do in a real car, the Williams. So it could be argued that Zanardi was doomed by history.

Just look @ Jaques pedigree though...Gilles wasn't too bad of a driver...
I agree with Kevin, CART makes you lazy when it comes to cars because they've got all the aerodynamic aids and the fact that they've got turbo motors helps too.
F1 is more of a drivers series IMO in comparison to CART...then you have IRL...damn Tony George...yeah he brought the GP back to the States BUT he didn't do it on a proper road course...I wanted an excuse to go to Laguna Seca...or someplace cool like that...
I'd love to see a race where all the back marker team drivers...Marc Gene, Gaston Mazzecane, et al get to drive the top teams cars and vice versa to see if it's the car or the driver...I'd say the latter but it'd be fun to watch...

Toyota is in next season, with a complete package.
But I dunno about the Jag. Even Eddie Irvine, whose job is to put the best face on things, is saying that their car is slow. I just want to see more teams up top or at least close.
As much as I love seeing Schuey and Hakkinen knock heads, I'd love it if some other drivers were seriously in the mix. Perhaps it will happen, though the only three serious contenders (note: Barrichello fans are out of luck again) are Schu, Hak, and Coulthard, to be sure.

My prediction for this season is that Montoya will defeat all!! He will prevail.
Ok, seriously I think it will probably be the same two teams kicking everybody's butts as last year. I do think Williams might just win a race or two. I think Prost will have a much better season with the Ferarri engines, they'll finish in the points quite a bit this year.
We shall see, it will be interesting. I want to see the Jordans do well also. I'll be rooting for them for sure.

That and Schumacher has a load off of his shoulders and can concentrate on the goal ahead..
THE CHECKERED FLAG!
So my answer is as always...

i believe that this will be another ferrari year. during testing their cars did not have many problems and the ones they had were minor. as for ferrari's main competitor, it will be mclarens.
the best of the rest in my opinion will be williams with their improved engine... just look at how they performed last year with a first year engine. i also feel that jordan with jarno trulli in the drivers seat will be competitive, especially with a new honda.
i just wish that in this season minardi will score many points so that they can secure an engine package. i believe that minardi is one of the few passionate teams for the sport. it would be sad to see minardi fall behind since they have the courage to test new talents. sorry for the long post, but i just wanted to vent my opinions on F1.

Auricom - Button's Benetton chassis has had big problems in pre-season testing. It's been way off the pace (multiple seconds). The worst part is that the problem is described as being much flex in the chassis. If this is true, (and we will know at Melbourne), then they oughta fire the designers and engineers who came up with this lemon. It is a bad for Button if he has to slog a bad chassis around for at least the first half of the season.
Regarding watching the Mika's Mercedes blow-up at Indy, I was there to, and I was noticing that at that time, Mika was gaining much time on Schumie with a track which had become mostly dry. I think Mika had the faster car in the dry that day, and would have been standing upon the top of the podium. Thanks to Benz blowing up, I think we saw Schumacher win the championship on that very day.
If anyone is going to Indy this year, I think the best seats are over at the oval turn 4, or better, on the short chute tween oval turn 3 & 4. You can see the turn 1 brake zone, and the whole complex of turns which lead onto the back stretch. Very nice lay-out, IMO.

On the gas,
The reason that Mika blew his engine was that he was pushing it so hard to catch Micheal. Its a very stable platform, and we all know how great the McLaren is. But any mechanical machine can only take so much stress.
Personally I like both Micheal and Mika, but I want Heinz Herald Frentzen to win.. I love jordan!
