Writing an article for BR is something that I always do when I am jobless. So here I go again in cold Sweden, where I am thousands of miles from my warm family and home in Sri Lanka.
It's just too early, and I have only been into F1 for one and a half years, so pardon me if my predictions end up being very wrong.
But so far, I have had a good record with my share of predictions, but I am not too confident on this one of mine.
First place...
I think because of the quality of their drivers, Ferrari will win both WDC and WCC, despite having the second best car. Following are the facts I wish to bring out.
- Most Ferrari customers are the kind that flourish during times of economic crisis. Unless the oil prices stay low, there is no doubt that Ferrari will be unaffected by the Global Financial Crisis. They, together with McLaren, have a strong financial clout to support development, and I have no doubt they have done their homework on 2009 very well. With or without KERS, they are going to make it to the top.
- Kimi has been philosophical about 2008. He is a man on a mission for 2009, and I am sure Felipe is the most motivated man on the grid for 2009. Either one of them will be WDC.
- Ferrari, after having made all those technical and strategic blunders, would want to play it very safe in 2009. I don't see the same mistakes made in 2008 to repeat themselves.
