General F1 update!

[LUD02C]

is anyone here planning on going to see any F1 races besides from melb?

Well i'll be in europe again in July so if i can i might be going!
Last year i missed out on Monza because of a stupid bus trip took a few days to long and i couldn't get to Italy wasn't happy at all.

It cost around 200 euros for a 4 day pass and in some cases you get abit of food or you can organise accomindation/passes/dinner for around 1,300 euros
Which is cheap if you see what the bastards charge for accomindation normally

Hes right i was in italy in 03 and was around the corner from monza in rimini but the price of passes was just ridiculous, 300 euros 4 a day pass! So i watched it on TV! But n e ways whats everyones prediction on where the F1 teams will be this year compared to 04? Will Ferrari still be on top?

ferrari will be the team to beat. but the fight for second should be stronger - williams and webber, hopefully mclaren get their act together with montoya, saubers with JV and maybe even toyota with ralf and jarno

of course we all expect Our Jenson and Sato-san to deliver the goods for the big red H (despite button's 'defection' to williams and dave richards leaving)

GO BAR-HONDA!!!!!!!!!

[LUD02C]

Ferrari will dominate and Rubens will improve to finish 2nd alot.
Biggest improvement in my view will be McLaren/Toyota
I think BAR-Honda will not be as competitve as last year and that Williams will improve and challenge McLaren.

So in my view the constructers in a guess would like this:
1/ Ferrari
2/ Renault
3/ Williams
4/ McLaren
5/ BAR - Honda
6/ Toyota

Remembering that Renault has alot of pressure on them, but i could see McLaren finoishing second with two of the best drivers and most different drivers.

Hard thing to say!

wow, you put BAR that low

ye of little faith

well all will be revealed in about a mth or so..............

[LUD02C]

Well Renault and the Pugs got dropped from the WRC, and the board of directors nearly pulled the plug on the Renualt F1 team but they have a chance to prove themselves.

So thats why i put renault up there, and McLaren get only get stronger with two such good drivers, and I can see Williams being a nice strong reliable car with a brilliant driver of Webber in it finishing more and NOT OVERHEATING like the Hondas more often.

[Hondavirgin]

I don't know, i think its even money on whether Toyota will be ahead of Sauber........, they've got JV and some really good facilities....

I also think Williams/McLaren/BAR will be all interchangeable too. But I def. agree Renault 2nd and ferrari first.

[FrankieVTi]

I dont know personally im abit worried that Ferrari will have an off year and i can c the williams webber package being strong this year... As for the rest of the teams i can c mclaren coming bac strong and Renault will still be competitive, but BAR have it all to prove after such an excellent season 04, the pressure is on them to maintain or even better there competitiveness!!!
Well thats my 2 cents... Forza Ferrari!

[[ slayer ]]

is it just the 3 of us who is only interested in F1 and motorsport?!?!?!?

um no, i love f1, but have better things to do than read the huge quotes that keep being posted

My predictions for 2005

Constructors :

1) McLaren
2) Ferrari
3) Williams
4) Renault
5) BAR

Drivers :

1) Kimi
2) Michael
3) Juan Pablo
4) Rubens
5) Mark Webber

[zigengt]

I don't think BAR will be doing as well as last season. Dave Richards has already left & Jenson Button's commitment to the team is an issue too.

[Hondavirgin]

Jenson Button will still race his heart out to win for BAR. Its not like you have a long career in F1 you can't afford to waste one. If they give him the car to do it he's just as likely to win in a BAR as in a Williams.

There isn't one team/driver/car combo capable of beating Ferrari and Schumey consistently, unless someones made huge leaps forward.
