2014 Formula One predictions (Time capsule)

Time to look into that crystal ball folks. Have a stab in the dark, or an educated guess. A maximum of ten predictions per forum member please, so make them your best.

This thread will be frozen on Thursday 13th March 2014, a day before the Australian GP, and will be re-opened on the 24th of November 2014, a day after the final GP in Abu Dhabi. Let's see how wrong, or right you are at the end of the season.


Here's my stab in the dark for 2014.
  1. Lewis Hamilton will be World Champion.
  2. Fernando Alonso will announce he's moving to McLaren in 2015.
  3. Hulkenberg will move to Ferrari in 2015.
  4. Daniel Ricciardo will not win a race.
  5. Jenson Button to announce his retirement from full time driving.
  6. Magnussen will win a race.
  7. Williams to have one of their best seasons in recent years.
  8. Bottas will finish ahead of Massa.
  9. Lotus will finish 5th or lower in the WCC.
  10. RBR will finish 3rd or lower in the WCC.

If anyone of the Moderators could help with the closing and re-opening of this thread on the said dates, that would be much appreciated.

4. Kimi and Nando will get a long fine, both winning at least 1 race.
5. By the end of the season Magnussen will be right with, or faster, than Button.
6. Bottas will easily beat Massa, who will leave Williams in 2015.

If it was a straight battle / result (no mechanical trouble or ill fortune organisationally), I would be delighted for Ricciardo. It would validate him being there over his former team mate.

Here's my predictions about the drivers' and the constructors' home races.

1 - Australia: Ricciardo to score a podium.
2 - Spain: Alonso to win his home race.
3 - Brazil: Massa to win his home race.
4 - Hockenheimring: Vettel to win his home race.
5 - Russia: Kvyat to score points on his home race.
6 - UK: Neither Button or Magnussen will finish in 10th or higher for their constructor's home race, or Hamilton can just win his home race.
7 - Japan: Kobayashi to score points or a podium again.
8 - Austria: Neither Vettel or Ricciardo will finish in 10th or higher for their constructor's home race.
9 - Malaysia: Caterham to finish in 10th or higher.
10 - Italy: Ferrari to finish 3rd or higher for their constructor's home race.

Really possible. Let's look back in the previous series from 2010 until 2013.
2010: 3 driver changes
2011: 3 driver changes
2012: One driver change caused by Grosjean's one-race ban
2013: One driver change caused by Räikkönen's surgery

Egg

From the predictions posted so far, it looks to be a three horse race for WDC.
  • Lewis Hamilton = 5
  • Nico Rosberg = 3
  • Jenson Button = 2
Is everyone writing off Vettel as the WDC? Is he finished? He's only won the last four in a row!
