Thoughts on the Upcoming F1 Season...

Renault will probably win the Constructor's Championship again.

McLaren will have the winner of the Driver's Championship, however.

The Crimson Steers will not have a driver on the podium. They will, however, be close (i.e. fourth or fifth).

Scuderia Toro Lawnmowero will be the 9th team, ahead of only MF1 and Super Aguri.

Honda will place third in the Constructor's Championship, and will have two wins to their credit. Jensen Button will get them both.

Toyota will NOT win a race. They also will not get on the podium. Ralf Schumacher will be kicked from the team at the end of the year.

Super Aguri will score points. Takuma Sato will earn them.

Speaking of Takuma Sato, he will have his first shunt within the first 10 laps at Bahrain. That's if he doesn't have his accident at the airport's rental car counter.

I will regret writing this post at some point in the season.

YOU regret READING this post already.

UPDATE
I don't know how I forgot about this, but there's a horde of tifosi outside of The Pond, and they've got torches. So, without further ado...

Ferrari will suck. Bad.

Slappy Schumacher will throw up on his tires. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Then he'll attack Takuma Sato, and end up impaled on a katana.

Felipe Massa's testicles will drop.

...and one more:

The Mark of Zsolt will return, and all of F1 will be afraid.

1 I agree with most of that, except in a rather unbritish manner, I do not believe Jensen will win a race. Ever.

2 Yeah, I know. There's a reason why F1 UPDATE!'s nickname for Jense is "OH-ver-RAY-ted (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)".

But Honda looked really good in preseason testing from all reports, and they've got to get lucky sooner or later!

3 I'll be interested to see what Williams does with this new Cosworth under the hood - could be interesting.
I think Shuey might be a little more eager too - especially as always promised to quit in 06.

Right - the bad news (and i'm livid) is that I will not be attending the Bahrain GP - however, some mates have phoned and asked if i'm interested in going to the Monaco GP and I have said yes - so we'll see. I'll get to at least one of them I promise.

That said Williams has opened it's doors for this Sundays race to watch it at their factory and throwing a complete factory tour - but at £170 I would want Frank Williams pulling wheelies in his chair.

Flotsy - where in Oxfordshire are you?

4 Takuma Sato....

Come on lets have a laugh...
1. Will he survive or die this season?
2. Will he kill someone else?
3. How many races will he actually complete?
4. How many crashes will he have?
5. How many other cars will he take out throughout the entire season?
6. Cars are valued between $4-8 million each - What do you think the net value of his carnage be this season?

5 "...wheelies in his chair."

Heh. I saw a short clip of Paul Stoddard (aka Guido Minardi) flying around the Minardi 'factory' in a sooped-up motorized chair... I think it was on the ITV website, but it might have been the Beeb. I seem to remember that he was able to pop a small wheelie...

6 Actually live in Oxford, in one of the cheap but fun bits.

7 There are no cheap bits to Oxford...
I used to live in Witney and couldn't ever afford to go back around that area to live(actualy my mother still lives there and thats a fairly good deterrent for anyone)
My Ex used to live down Botley Road and her rent was out of this world.
But then you are living in the F1 heartland aren't you
