The 2008 Formula One season is fast approaching, so it’s time for my season predictions:
- Hamilton will get close again, but he won’t win the WDC
- Maclaren will win the WCC
- Kimi Raikkonen will win the WDC
- Ron Dennis will retire, but not until the end of the season
- Super Aguri F1 will fold or change hands
- Toyota will get their first race win
- Timo Glock will claim that win
- Alonso and Hamilton will continue to slag each other off in the press
- Red Bull will outpace Honda
- Jenson will complain that Red Bull are outpacing Honda and repeat his mantra “We just don’t have the pace”
- Force India will be the surprisingly successful underdog
- Gearboxes won’t last the mandatory four races
- Wet races will be farcical
- James Allen will forget that both Toro Rosso drivers are called Sebastien
- Then he’ll remember and feel the need to explain the situation in detail
- The “spy” scandal will refuse to go away
- Martin Brundle will be asked to explain the lack of traction control during every race
- The Singapore race will be the highlight of the season
