whats more likely . . . .

Post

was wondering about this, im curious to hear your opinions . . . . what is most likely to happen, or will hapen first, in your opinion?

schumi wins the championship
webber wins a race
button wins a race
reubens wins a race
(or perhaps another scenario)

for me, i think it will be reubens winning . . . . obviously if you pick michael to win, then it means none of the others will win all year. if there is another sort oof semi likely occurance you think might happen (like DC winning or someone else) please tell us about it.

by the way, i havent posted here in a while, im glad to be back. if there is already a thread like this, let me know and i will check it out. thanks!

I will go with Rubens as he will make button look bad all year long.

Rubens wins a race will be first, assuming the testing times are accurate.

:lol: I went for Button wins a race, just out of blind patriotism (oh...Jense is pretty good too ;)).

Surprise prediction? What about Trulli/Toyota World Champs?? Not much rational basis for this; but if the Bridgestone tyres are good - there COULD be the package there to do the job. I think Toyota will be faster this year and they don't break down (which could be key with the V8's running flat out for longer and vibrating more).

But Trulli doesn't feel good in the new car, he says it doesn't suit his driving style.

That was the version they bought out at the end of last year. New front, old back end. Apparently the better front showed up problems with the rear suspension geometry.

Mike Gascoyne is a Trulli fan (so will pay attention to his needs), it seems that those problems will be addressed with the new car as it has a whole new rear suspension package too.

I don't think any of those will happen, to be honest. I think Rubens is slightly over-rated and Jenson is marginally more likely to beat him to a win.

I can't make up my miind which option is most likely: Jenson winning a race or Michael winning the championship.

In theory, Ruebens has the best chance.
Last year he came closer to winning than any of the other three to comleting their respective goals.
Also he is a proven winner, and Schumi, Button and Webber moan too much when things aren't going their way. RB just gets on with the job.

Well maybe that was because he was driving at Ferrari, a team that is not known to be very keen on special driver comments ;) Especially not from their "schumi helper", or if you please, the driver in the car with the number one higher than schumi himself ;)

Anyway, with deep sadness here my vote is for Schumacher and his championship. I hope I'm wrong, but Williams would surprise me to enable that chance to Webber, and Jenson is in my opinion the better driver of Barrichello.

i think JB is gonna win first, and if not in Bahrain, in Malaysia. going by tests, honda seems to have a pretty strong package.

In the end, RB and JB seem to be very equal, schumi i dont reckon will win WC this year, and with webber, williams seem to be ok but dont trust the package this year.
