I also think that Vettel is going to be great. Whether or not he wins a championship will depend of course on the car. Adrian Newey has a proven record of designing winning cars but last year the renault engine let them down big time in terms of bot power and reliability. This was also after the FIA lifted the freeze on engine design changes especially for them because they were already so far behind everyone else. Interesting counterpoint to that however is that the engine is believed to be very fuel efficient so it will remain to be seen if the difference in fuel economy equates to a performance advantage due to the car being able to carry less weight in the car from the onset of the race!

5. Driver with the most DNF's? Coulthard is gone now so... LOL anyone driving the USF1 car (they're a newcomer that is the only one designing their own gear box, it's February and it hasn't proven to change a gear yet!!)
6. How many times will someone run out of gas? (my new fave!!) I'd say none... for now...

Well I have to re-do my prediction for the most DNF's actually... USF1 was SOOO bad that they didn't even get a car LOL Peter Windsor was nothing but a mouth piece that the SPEED network should have paid to keep quiet... arrogant!!! I think he only did this because he wanted the attention.

My new DNF prediction is the newly crowned Hispania team

Indeed....did you see the pictures of their official unveiling of the car? looked pretty sad...

You have to admire the effort... but dont go to war if you dont have the weapons..
