In less than three weeks the 2007 F1 Season will begin. Any predictions? Although I think Kimi will be a threat in a car that doesn't explode every other time it runs, I think Alonso will pull off championship (even if it is in said exploding McLaren).....

I also think Rubens was nuts for leaving Ferrari since MS was going to retire.....

Predictions?

Less than 2 weeks ;)

Should be a really interesting season, with many top drivers switching teams, MS is retired, and everyone is on Bridgestone's.

Ferrari looks really strong with Massa and Kimi.

kimi will dominate i think , Robert Kubica was good in 2006 i mean he was great so he i think will drive for first 5 positions, and alonso we will see is renault only reason for wining or he is reason..

again toyota or honda i dont remmeber which one is with most blowed up engine in 2006 seasion will be funny to watch and from this year there will be only bridgestone if i am right this or next year it will be monopolistic in tyre world..

Kimi has to worry about Massa. Massa has the experience with Ferrari and Bridgestone and showed last year that he belongs on a top team.

FA is going to struggle - new tires, new car - but will still do well. If McLaren's notoriously fragile cars can hold together, he'll be a force to reckon with, but if keeping the car/engine in one peice requires them turning the wick down too much, then it could be a long season for him.

I'm looking forward to seeing on how Kubica, Rosberg, and Speed will do in their sophomore seasons as well as Hamilton in his rookie season.

Honda has some issues and are trying to ready 'a major revision' to their car by Malaysia.

The duldrums are over now that F1 and MotoGP are gearing up!

I predict another season of the worlds best drivers piloting the worlds fastest cars with no passing.

I predict either Honda or Toyota will throw in the towel by the end of year.

I expect to see some great racing on the control tire between Kimi, Massa, Alonso, and perhaps a few surprises.

It certainly has - over 1 second faster (fastest lap vs. fastest lap) than #2, Freddie. Ron Dennis has already started the excuses - first it was 'BMW's strategy cost us the race' and now it is 'Ferrari is running a car with a movable floor'. I'm interested to see if this movable floor stuff gets anywhere, but my guess is that he's just firing off shots in the dark trying to deflect their lack of pace versus Ferrari.
