Red Bull will win the WCC
Fernando Alonso will win the WDC - a close run between him and Vettel decided in the last race Although Fernando was doing quite well until the Silverstone tyre debacle
McLaren won't win a race
Williams will win 2 Grands Prix, both for Maldonado
Hulkenberg will win a Grand Prix for Sauber
Massa will win a race due to an Alonso retirement
Hamilton will win one race, as will Rosberg & 1-2 so not bad
Marussia will beat Caterham in the WCC
Grosjean will win one race The boy came close
Force India won't complete the season
Daniel Ricciardo will replace Mark Webber, perhaps before the end of the season
The US Grand Prix will be as dull as ****
The Korean Grand Prix will be replaced
It will rain in Monaco during the race weekend and probably for the race can't remember
Suzy Perry will be shit but I won't care as I'll be watching Sky
Frank Williams will retire at the end of the season & Claire has taken over as Team Principal
Georgie Thompson will be outed as transexual At least that's my reasoning why we didn't see her this year
Antony Davidson will win Le Mans 2nd

I don't think I did too bad

FB - Monaco qualifying was wet.

 

[FB]

I'll take that then.

 

[The Pits]

Can I make my predictions now?

 

[FB]

I bet you get them wrong

 

[The Pits]

Thats the point right?

I learnt from Jos the Boss

 

[Fenderman]

I kept our predictions inside Fenderman's Head. At least one of me was right more often than not and the rest made up for the gaps and gaffs. What I can tell you is this:

Red Bull met our expectations (Fenderman - Hamilton appreciator and Alonso fan-ish)(Mzzzz X) (Rad Booton - Adrian Newey fan) (Collective consciousness)

Mercedes exceeded our expectations (Mercedes marque and Rosberg appreciators)

Bernie Ecclestone has so far survived my expectations

Pirelli have met our expectations

The FIA and stewards have continued to reflect our expectations but only just

 

[Jos the Boss]

Alonso will win the WDC- No
Mercedes will win the WCC- No
Lewis will win three races- No
Rosberg will be second at least once- Yes!
Button will only out-qualify Perez 8 times- One out!
Raikkonen will not care about anything he does- Well he wasn't paid
RoGro will hit someone on lap one- Not sure? Don't think so!
Perez will not win a "normal" race- Or any!
Hulkenberg will get Sauber's first win- Nope
Hamilton will be ahead of a Mclaren by the end of the season- Both!
Marussia will finally get a point and finish ahead of Caterham- Halfway there!
10 different race winners!- Not even close!
Chilton will be over praised- See SkyF1
Maldonado will get a race ban- Nope
Mercedes will get a 1-2 at Mercedes Monza!- Nope
Mclaren Honda will be confirmed- Yes!
BBC will be better than Sky! - Subjectively!
And Lewis shall lead the WDC at one point! - To end on a no!

No-10-8 Yes
I lost!

 

[teabagyokel]

• McLaren will bungle at least one pit-stop Must have
• Charles Pic will be outqualified by Timo Glock at least three times He was outqualified by Bianchi - Glock no seat
• The grass will turn out to be less green for Lewis Hamilton Unless the MTC's lawns were immaculate
• Tooned will not reflect Jenson Button's new #1 status It didn't really exist this season - like McLaren!
• Perez will be inconsistent Damn straight!
• Valteri Bottas will do better compared to Maldonado than Senna did Yep. But it was sabotage!
• Felipe Massa will on occasion be "back to his old self" but still be comprehensively battered by Alonso Bang on!
• Mark Webber will blame everyone else in an incident that had as much if not more to do with his aggression Don't think he managed it this year - although Multi 21 was close
• Mark Webber will be a pointless appendage to Red Bull Vettel won the constructors title early
• Caterham will get slightly closer to Toro Rosso but not make that quantum leap No
• Hamilton will cock up one of the qualifying sessions and take an early bath in Q1 No
• If Vettel addresses a criticism of him, a new one will appear It did
• Paul di Resta will slide further into abject anonymity Who?
• Kimi Raikkonen will continue to be the rockstar of F1 Right up to the point he did one.
• Romain Grosjean will be penalised for a first lap incident which he was an innocent victim of Don't remember one!
• Nico Hulkenburg will sign for a top team for 2014 Life isn't fair
• Ferrari will do better than their calls of "crisis" would suggest Yeah, they did!
• We will see the finger in India Thank you, boys.
• The DRS qualifying and practice restrictions' only effect will be that Mercedes will look shit all weekend rather than just on Sunday They absolutely were still shit only on Sundays
• There will be loads of teeth gnashing about Bahrain, but neither Bernie, the teams, Todt, Cameron or Obama will make any attempt to do anything about it... Of course
• RasputinLives will not finish bottom in Team Mate Prediction Well done, Raspy!
• Cyril Abetiboul will be gone by years end No
• There will be a range of "hilarious" jokes about Jenson & Martin's love lives... Well, I don't think we saw McLaren
• ...ignoring Jenson's obvious fling with DC! Still both denying it
• Some chancer will make a huge song and dance about entering HRT for 2014; nothing materialises Well, nothing happened, so half right!
• Esteban Gutierrez will score less than a fifth of Hulkenburg's points Less than one-eighth
• Sebastian Vettel will sign for Ferrari for 2014 No, apparently Kimi Raikkonen did. Rockstar!

• Caterham will have various "1 second improvement!" upgrades (all of them fail)
• Marussia will generally be better than Caterham and finish 10th or higher in the end table
• Rosberg will grow increasingly frustrated with Hamilton as the season goes on
• Webber to retire
• Grosjean to improve his first lap behaviour and finally win a race
• Räikönnen to win more than one race
• Lotus to end up 3rd in the Constructions Championship
• Pèrez to win at least 3 races
• Maldonado to pull another great drive out of the bag and win another race for Williams
• Vettel to win the Championshp after fighting it out with both Button and Alonso, with Pèrez hot on their tails
• Räikkönen to walk off the grid at the Brazilian Grand Prix and personally open the gate which was closed last season
• Red Bull will not win the Constructors Championship, losing it to Mclaren
• Lauda will say silly things
• Kobayashi to make a glorious return at the Japanese Grand Prix, winning it and samurai-kicking everyone off the podium during the ceremony
• Rosberg will get all the bad pitstops and mechanical failures this season, which is attributed to "bad luck"
• di Resta will make the last race end on an anti-climax again
• Hülkenberg will Hulksmash everyone out of the way at one race and win it

Not a very good year.
