Plow, I edited the thread title so we can keep our banter going on in here for season's to come.
2013: What are your predictions?
-No DRS in anywhere other than the DRS zone in practice and qualifying.
-The last year of V8's......supposedly.
-A fair few driver changes
-A pledge from rule makers to make the stepped nose disappear!
-Can Hamilton lift Merc to bigger and better things?
-Can Perez win a race?
-Will Grosjean move on to something more appropriate..........rodeo riding perhaps?
-Will Valterri Bottas be what Frank Williams expects him to be and better Maldonado?
-Will it be Webber's last season?
-Is Ricciardo being groomed as a Red Bull pilot?
-Will Plow King buy yet more ugly silver and pink clothes and have a $16 hamburger from Albert Park chucked at him from a giggling Dozer?
DRS: Hopefully RBR will opt for a setup with some semblence of top end speed, helping Webber make passes after he inevitably falls back down the field.
Engine: Meh, it'll change at some point, won't be the first, won't be the last; cars will still be fast.
Drivers: Mercedes will mostly suck, Hamilton will be humble for another season. Button will get the shits with Perez and his crash-success-crash-crash form.
Stepped nose will hang around, but will be covered by a superficial fairing.
Grosjean to have a great start to the season, maybe even a win, then decide that isn't for him, and go back to playing Titanic to everyone else's iceberg.
No.
Webber will try and hang around, if only to take the mantle of RBR #1, for at least one season, once Vettel makes the jump to the boys in red for 2014.
Yes, to replace Vettel (love that lineup btw)
Probably.
