World Champion

Since nobody seems interested in betting on who will take home the world championship this year, I put together this little poll. Please leave a comment
once you've cast your vote!

After a season where Lewis Hamilton missed out on the championship by the narrowest of margins, followed by a year where Ferrari wasn't quite performing at their peak, I really feel like everything is finally aligning. It’s high time this incredible driver secures the world title he deserves.👍

That’s my vote for Juan Pablo Montoya right there!
Inace, I’ve been bugging Mr. X for ages to set up a betting pool like this, though maybe we should limit it to the top 5 or top 10 finishers instead.
Still, this isn't a bad way to warm up. 😁

Inace, looking at all these driverless cars... you have to hand it to Jacques Villeneuve! 👍 😁

I clicked on Michael Schumacher, obviously.
And why exactly is that?
I honestly can't see anyone having what it takes to beat him consistently throughout next season. I suspect the duo at Ferrari is going to be absolutely lethal, and while Ford and BAR will definitely give them a run for their money, it just won't be enough to snatch away the constructors' title.

It's gonna be Michael Schumacher, unfortunately.😠

Michael Schumacher-nazalost😢

Don't sweat it too much... Michael Jordan won't have an easy ride this year with the Sauber "dream car" or the Blue Storm breathing down his neck.😁
While Schumi is busy fighting to overtake Jacques, Montoya will be sitting pretty right at the front of the pack...

I’m calling it now—Michael Schumacher is going to take the title again.

Not that I’m rooting against him or anything, but man, wouldn't it be something if a tiny little bug flew into his helmet at 186 miles mph? Just a little chaos to spice things up.

I reckon we'll see McLaren and BAR neck-and-neck with Ferrari this season, though I don't see McLaren pulling it off. They've got a new driver in the seat, and while they're busy trying to find their rhythm... well, it really just comes down to whether Montoya starts driving like Raikkonen or vice versa. It would be pretty damn nice to actually see someone from McLaren standing on that podium once in a while, or even taking home the championship—we haven't seen that since 2001.😍 😍 🙂

it’s just how things work, naturally 😁

Though, part of me can't help but wonder what would happen if some tiny little bug, maybe just five grams, decided to fly right into his helmet while he was cruising at 186 miles/h. Wouldn't that be something?

Now, now, let's take it easy a little bit. Whatever your opinion of him might be, there's no need to get carried away, is there?

Delete that, mistybear87. Delete it right now!!!😁

It always starts with a little warning shot, doesn't it?😁

There just wasn't enough of a crew showing up...

I mean, you saw for yourself how that whole "Forum Member of the Year" vote ended up. Total mess.😁

-----------

Anyway, I voted for M. Schumacher, so I don't feel the need to explain myself. Period.😁

That’s a heavy question to tackle right out of the gate... Honestly, I think we really need to sit back and see how these cars actually breathe on the track first. If the performance gap between the cars stays exactly where it was last season, then the lead driver at Ferrari will walk away with the title, regardless of who that person happens to be...

But, if the technical balance shifts even slightly, we could very well be looking at a complete shake-up in the championship standings...

everyone knows—Schumi👍

Mr. Ex said:There just wasn't enough support this time around...

Well, you saw for yourself how that "User of the Year" vote wrapped up.😁

It was honestly just as gripping and intense as last season.

Mr. Ex said:I went with M. Schumacher personally, so I don't really feel the need to justify my choice.😁

TRUE, no explanation needed—you clearly weren't in your right mind when you cast that vote. 😁

Anđeo said:Yeah, no kidding. You clearly had something special in your system when you cast that vote. 😁

Just wait. Pretty soon, everyone's gonna see who was actually high and who was just talking nonsense.😁

Mr. Ex said:It won't be long before everyone sees who was actually on substances and who wasn't.😁

I’ve always been quite open about my own views on this. 😁

It’s Alonso’s vote, of course!
