F1 2009 Prediction

[JoostLamers]

Fisi will be replaced during the year.
Hamilton battles with Kubica for title.
Vettel will make it hard for the Ferrari drivers.
Glock beats Trulli every single race, but not in Quali.
Piquet will finish more races then in 08.
Renault (mainly Nando) very very strong.
And Barrichello won't race in 09.
Kovalainen a bit better then in 08, will score 1 win, but finish more race on the podium.

These are going to shine in 09: Rosberg, Kubica, Hamilton, Vettel, Sutil, Senna ( )

[Zack]

BMW will be strong !o!

[Irishf1]

BMW Sauber will hopefully be strong.
Vettel wins a wet race, with Mark Webber hopefully winning a race.
Kubica to win more races.
Title championship to be a 5 man battle, with Alonso in the mixture
More overtaking, but less memorable races.

[TwistedArmco]

My 10 predictions:

1. Kubica will win the title.
2. Neither Massa nor Raikkonen will win a single race.
3. Fisichella really will retire at the end of this year.
4. Barrichello will retire at the end of this year.
5. We will see a driver change mid-season this year.
6. Nick Heidfeld will score his debut win.
7. Nico Rosberg will be a surprise of the season, and finish in the top 5.
8. Fernando Alonso will face roughly the same predicament as he did this year, but will win at least one race.
9. Hamilton will finish 2nd in the championship.

..and one that I only mentioned because I like the idea:

10. Kamui Koboyashi will inherit Jarno Trulli's seat due to Toyota being unwilling to pay a high salary for Jarno.

wow, u must be brave to say that

I may be wrong, but I sense that Ferrari are going to go massively downhill. That's just what I think, not what I want. I'd prefer to see Mac go downhill, but the perfect scenario would be both battling for mid-points only.

my predictions:

1 - ferrari will start winning with massa the australian gp
2 - ferrari will struggle in the beggin of the year [just after the australian gp]
3 - renault and alonso will win a couple of races
4 - kubica will win just 2 or 3 races
5 - massa, hamilton, kimi, kubica and alonso will challenge the title
6 - only 2 is going to the final 2 races with chances of winning the championship
7 - title will be decided in brazil
8 - kers will give teams a lot of trouble
9 - heidfeld will not win a single race
10 - vettel is not going to win a single race, but is going to improve red bull as the 5° force, challenging bmw and renault [but not the hole season]
and last
11 - massa wins the championship

I agree with TA here,I don't see Ferrari winning a race.They're behind on the KERS system and they don't always adapt well to rule changes(2005).Also Kimi will lose interest if the car isn't quick

[megasyxx]

mclaren will again win the championship!!!!! not just the drivers, but the constructors as well!!!!!, as to who will win the drivers title, i really don't care if it's lewis or mika or kimi or alonso, or who ever, as long as it's a mclaren driver!!!

[phil1993]

I do agree with the Ferrari failing opinion as if they're miles behind, it will cost them dearly and think that i they need 1/2 months to get KERS fully working for them, thats 5-6 races wasted for them; same with Toyota as they're behind, whereas BMW seem to be way ahead and could be on course for about 17 1-2s.

- Hamilton will retain his title
- Kubica will win at least 3 races
- Heidfeld will still be winless at the end of 2009 and get replaced for 2010
- Ferrari will struggle, not as bad as 2005, but rather like 1994 or 95, they will win 2 or 3 races, but that´s it.
- Renault still won´t improve and Fernando will get massively frustrated. Piquet will be replaced mid season
- The Ex Honda Team won´t start the season and there will sadly be only 18 cars at Melbourne
- Either BMW or McLaren will win the Constructor´s Championship
- None of the 2 Ferrari drivers will finish higher than 4th in the championship.
- Kimi will finish above Massa in the championship.
- Overtaking won´t increase much in comparison to 2008
- KERS will be a massive flop

I have got only two: Honda will be sell and Jenson Button will win race in Australia 2009

Dream on! The team will not even enter the 2009 season, it´s sad but true.

[JoostLamers]

Any one got more opinions about replacements during the season..?
I think: Fisico out, for sure, but don't know by who, probably Di Resta or De la Rosa. Besides this maybe Heidfeld replaced during the season... By Button?

[blizzard]

Well joost, I don´t think Heidfeld will be replaced, as my prediction is that BMW will win the Constructor´s Championship
Kubica will win races and Heidfeld score podiums like he did this season. They will replace him next year, because he will still be winless at the end of this year, but he´s a solid podium finisher and Kubica is their number 1, so this year it will be enough with their advantage on KERS, but then it´s bye bye for Nick.

btw: Barrrichello is such a stupid dog, he had that offer from Penske to test their car and maybe get a race seat, Rubinho in all his self-belief turned the offer down and thought he would retain his Honda seat. But Honda is out of F1 and Penske got a free seat, because Helio is in a court trial so they gave his car to Will Power who is not really that great. The Rubens - Penske deal would have been great for both sides, Rubens would have been the top favourite for the Indycar title.
