From Testing Results etc.....I predict the Kubica may snatch a win as they have spent AGES developing that UGLY car!

I predict UK Television viewers will win, with no ad breaks/James Allen.

In reality though... I've no clue atm. Testing still seems to be unclear as to who has the edge, as it's been that most teams have had their turn at the top... there's not been a consistant picture. We'll see how testing goes in March though.

I'm going to say other, Red Bull (and inherently Toro Rosso) have been quick the KERS seems to be Ok too. Williams also look like they could be a challenger with good speed (around McLaren's pace) and an innovative KERS solution which, if ready, works well they could well be at the front.

 

Well either way I've got 10-12 cars that can win and me still be right :D

I predict that between Ferrari and McLaren they will have 2 drivers score no points, and the winner will come from another team - either Kubica or Alonso. I will be keen to see how Ferrari act this season between their drivers. Massa was typically seen as the second driver to Raikonnen, but after last season he showed he was capable, and also that Raikonnen was still not keen on doing much to help his teammate and certainly not happy playing second driver.

I'd quite to see Kubica win. I'm always won for an underdog and BMW have been doing a great job with their car.

I'd really like to see Heidfeld get his first win. BMW have been as usual, quietly been working on the car and making sure it is right. So I wouldn't be suprised if they won.

I'm going to take Kimi's approach here. Any of them. Early weather models are predicting monsoon conditions in Melbourne.

Ah that would be great. I felt a bit sorry for Quick Nick when Kubica won in Canada. How many years had Heidfield been around without winning a race? 7 or 8 maybe?

Nick Heidfeld will be competing in his 10th season in 2009.

Oh man, I was at the Canadian GP and as the race progressed it became apparent that Heidfeld could have a legit shot at the win, and I was getting really excited about it, but of course it never happened as we know lol. But those Polish fans went ballistic for Kubica, I wasn't disappointed as I'm part Polish but I just hoped Quick Nick to get the win instead because Kubica will have many more years ahead of him. Bring on 2009!

James Allen has posted a blog stating how he believes the fight for victory will only be between Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. Read it here.

Wait and see, whilst they may be good dont over expect. This is the problem football faces today with fans demanding teams be in Europe every year or their manager is useless (how bad is that, keeping Fulham in the Premiership, their manager must be useless to try and keep a team with a stadium thats under 20,000 and have very little money now compared to other sides to compete against Newcastle United who have over doulbe the ammount of seats in their ground)

/rant on Football

Personally I think Ferrari will win the opening race as they have been dominant in the last decade realistically (I know they didnt get the drivers championship in 1999 but they almost got it) although BMW or Renault could push them. Personally I would have said any team with Takuma Sato but he has not got a drive again :cry:

Why wont anybody pick him, he is a legend to take a Super Aguri to 4th place and overtake a McLaren in Canada a couple of years ago :(

I miss Sato. Shame he didn't get a ride this offseason.
