.mcman Share Posted March 3, 2008 Lewis Hamilton and McLaren FTW!!! Also I don't mind if BMW will win the constructors cup. :) Look at F1.08... Looks mean! Link to post Share on other sites
sundayx Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2008 My hopes is on Lewis and Mclaren. Second comes Kimi and Alonso. Something tells me, don't under estimate Force India. Link to post Share on other sites
.mcman Share Posted March 3, 2008 Oh btw, everyone who have a litlle free time please join the McLaren Grand Prix League. You have a budget of 75 millions to buy 9 drivers and 3 teams. Grand prize is a tour of McLaren Technology Center and a TAG Heuer Carrera watch! Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn Share Posted March 3, 2008 I fancy Ferrari this year, and Raikkonen is more consistent out of the two Ferrari drivers and he has the experience required to challenge/win the title. Link to post Share on other sites
CrashG Share Posted March 3, 2008 Kimi and Ferrari. This first race should be a good indication of what's to come. Link to post Share on other sites

tuckeratlarge Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm one of the Tifosi so it's a bit obvious who I want to win Link to post Share on other sites
Crazysah Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) I support Force India because it has an Indian owner! Actually though I really support BMW Sauber... Brilliant team! As for a individual well... Massa for the title this time! I also signed up for the league. Team Name: SauberIndia Crazysah Edited March 5, 2008 by Crazysah Link to post Share on other sites
Fergie Share Posted March 5, 2008 I've joined the mini league. Hope Hamilton does it this year. Also, anyone going to Silverstone? I am, Stowe is where I am sitting. Link to post Share on other sites
+Frank B. Subscriber² Share Posted March 8, 2008 Guessing from the test results I think we will see the following pecking order within the teams (at the start of the season at least): Ferrari McLaren BMW Renault Williams Toyota RedBull Toro Rosso Honda Force India Super Aguri My pick for WDC? R?ikk?nen. He is fully integrated within the Ferrari team (unlike in the first half of the 2007 season when he was clearly struggling) and more consistent than Massa. McLaren will be close to Ferrari, but not close enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Brodel Share Posted March 8, 2008 I think R?ikk?nen will win, but I'll be supporting Hamilton. Link to post Share on other sites
CrashG Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'd love to see a 4-way fight between Ferrari, McLaren, BMW, and Renault. Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas-c Author Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'd love to see a 4-way fight between Ferrari, McLaren, BMW, and Renault. 4-way = (Y) 2-way = (N) Cant wait for next week! booked it off work >.> Link to post Share on other sites
Damo R. Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2008 4-way = (Y)2-way = (N) Cant wait for next week! booked it off work >.> Specifically for the Grand Prix? I would love to see Hamilton win it this year after coming close last year. Link to post Share on other sites
CrashG Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yeah, I can't wait either. I just hope that the drama happens on-track not in some court room. Link to post Share on other sites
Popcorned1 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'd love for Lewis to win this season but those Ferrari's are in the sweet spot right now. Link to post Share on other sites
CrashG Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'd love for Lewis to win this season but those Ferrari's are in the sweet spot right now. Well, with a reliable car and making fewer mistakes than the few he did make last season he's got a damn good chance of taking it. Link to post Share on other sites
.mcman Share Posted March 12, 2008 Some wednesday photos from Melbourne: :) Preparations: A beach race? :D The new SL63 AMG safety car: In my opinion Australian GP always has the hottest grid girls. Link to post Share on other sites
Fourjays Veteran Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm supporting pretty much everybody but Alonso. :laugh: I want Lewis to win overall though. :p I think Ferrari and McLaren are about equal. Last year tracks clearly suited one or the other team, but not both. Both teams think they've improved where they did poorly last year, so they should be equal now. I think BMW have slipped into the midfield. Williams (and Red Bull slightly) have made good progress over the winter, while BMW have been struggling badly with stability. This first race should be a good indication of what's to come. Melbourne isn't a great example as it's a very unique track (look at 2007). I think after Bahrain we'll have a better idea as to who is where. The lack of driver aids will make it harder still to judge. Link to post Share on other sites
