I expect them to fight with Williams, nothing more. I mean RB and Mercedes are untouchable. Ferrari will be better tan many expect, Renault could be the dark horse of 2017 and I am pretty sure that TR will be strong. Many teams to fight for the third position.FrukostScones wrote:I excpect the 3rd best car/PU combo.Vasconia wrote:Not expecting an spectacular car but a good looking and efficient one, as FI always does.

they still have Merc PU (maybe valuable more than ever in 2017 (read interview on AMUS), with Renault and Honda new design (how many DNF's)?, Ferrari unknown PU, B-car rumors).GoranF1 wrote:Last year means jack --- as 2009 has prooved.FrukostScones wrote:well, last year it was the fourth best one.GoranF1 wrote: LOL
I expect 2 teams to surprise Force India....the 2 teams that started 2017 very early....Renault factory team and Mclaren Honda.....th3y have everthing in place to prepare themselfs better than FI this year.....only advantage FI has is the PU, but i think that advantage will be smaller this year....FI will fight Williams for 6th.....behind Renault,Mclaren,Ferrari RB and MercsFrukostScones wrote:they still have Merc PU (maybe valuable more than ever in 2017 (read interview on AMUS), with Renault and Honda new design (how many DNF's)?, Ferrari unknown PU, B-car rumors).GoranF1 wrote:Last year means jack --- as 2009 has prooved.FrukostScones wrote:

and Dr. Guru Johl.
but we will see...
This happens usually every single season. Sometimes FI is able to bring some good updates after the summer break but normaly they loose performance because other teams(McLaren,etc) has more money. But I agree that this season this could happen even more clearly.wesley123 wrote:The issue that this year will bring is that the wealthier teams will most likely outdevelop the less wealthy teams. That FI starts the year as third fastest is entirely possible, however, if they still are at the end of the season is a whole different scenario
Hell, Mclaren's season would be a failure if the RB, Ferrari and Merc are in front. If Force India is in front of them, it's already disastrous. Top teams can only be content if they fight for the championship. That's the pedigree teams like Mclaren are in.hemichromis wrote:I feel both Mclaren and Renault would feel it a big failure if Force india managed to be in front.
If the Honda engine remains the same competitive grade in 2017 then its more likely they will end more or less in the same position as 2016. However 2017 being more of a change on the aero and chassis I hope to see better results in 2017. They are a high budget team and hope that helps them to finish at least 4th in the championship.WaikeCU wrote:Hell, Mclaren's season would be a failure if the RB, Ferrari and Merc are in front.

Just like saying Manchester United are doing well right now...
