1. Williams will finish in the top 5.
2. More powertrain failures will happen pre-Europe than in the whole of last season.
3. We'll witness an ERS related fire which wrecks a car.
4. Bernie will be found guilty in a criminal court before the season ends.
5. McLaren, Ferrari and RBR will all finish the season lower than 3rd.
6. Hamilton and Rosberg will battle for the championship.
7. Magnussen will win at least one race (to everyone's surprise!).
8. The British GP will be horrifically wet*
9. Half the field will crash at Monaco in a first-lap accident at St Devote.
10. Caterham will fold at the end of the season.

*I say this in the vain hope that it's actually gloriously hot and sunny

If Bianchi finished in the podium, it would be magic.

A Mercedes engine chassis will win the title (ooh that's a cop out I know lol!)

Hamilton will continue to become more and more estranged in his behaviour. Rosberg will continue to just shrug his head a lot in interviews.

Either Williams may be in with a sniff of a win early in the season and will definitely score regular podiums. Overall Massa will just edge it..

Force India will score podiums early in the season. Points wise, it will see-saw between the drivers and there may even be a inner team fall out (Latin fire vs German ice and all that.)

Alonso will see off Raikkonen, comfortably and will be a title challenger. (If he doesn't, it will pose serious questions about how Massa was treated as Alonso's teammate!) Kimi, meanwhile, will win a couple of races and pile up the points.

Red Bull will be in a position to win races by Monaco.

Riccardo will stop smiling.

JEV will comfortably trounce 'Veeyat' for the first half of the season and then it will be closer.

Tyres will no longer be a longevity issue, let alone safety problem.

People may get hurt in the pits from silly fires.

The FIA will review the whole engine/tech changes at the end of the season if the season is either a reliability or competitive farce.

How did we all get on then?

I got at least 3. Need to check my safety car one.

3. Neither Caterham nor Marussia will score a point. Marussia scored. A real pity they couldn't see out the season.
4. Red Bull will take five wins or fewer. I could have gone a bit braver with that prediction, but yes.
5. Raikkonen will outscore Alonso. Certainly not.
6. Alonso will win more races than Raikkonen. The gist would've been there, but alas this is definitely wrong.
7. Magnussen will win a race. This prediction didn't feel too bad after Melbourne.
8. Hulkenberg will score at least twice as many points as Perez. Not quite. 96 to 59.
9. At least 16 cars will be classified in Melbourne. Only 13 and a disqualification, but several of those were accidents. Not as many failures as many predicted.
10. The safety car will feature in seven or more and fewer than eleven races. I am curious to find this one out.

and finally...

10. Grosjean will demolish Maldonado in standings
6 right (sort of with number 10!), but I was way off with 3-6.

Jesus Christ. Impossible to be more wrong.

Although the Rosberg prediction was based on who I felt would draw the short straw reliability wise, which looked pretty on the money mid-season.

8. Both Caterham and Marussia will score at least one point each
1. Correct!
2. Correct!
3. No, not quite, wins were out of the question and Massa's luck was far too poor to be top 5 in the WDC. But Massa did beat Bottas on race finishes and was ahead of Bottas more often in races than vice versa.
4. Incorrect.
5. I'll count this as correct, though it's debatable.
6. Correct.
7. Correct.
8. Not quite, only Marussia scored points.

5/8
