Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB (complaining after Bahrain of unfair treatment)

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = MS (one can always hope, go neck go neck)

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW (again)

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FM (I was going for FA in the same way as RK, but if he'll get team around him like Schumi which RK never did, and FM will end up retiring soon.)

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH (Just down to experience)

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ??? (Just because it'll be a paid driver)

Force India

15. VL
DBTM = VL

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK (Trulli can have his moments, good and bad, so when he's not driving a train he does well. HK struggles under pressure)

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ??? (As he'll be a paid driver)

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR!(Will he make Badoer feel better about his last year performance?)

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG (Experience or lack of)

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = ??? (I get this one right! Because ??? is even more inexperienced than ???. ???:"Hey where's the oval?" or ???: "Dude, where's my car?")

(In response to spam above): (S)HE'S A WITCH! BURN HIM/HER!
Relevent Monty Python Referances FTW

Anyways back to more important issues:
Mclaren
1. JB

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = MS (I wish but it's probably not going to happen )

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW (Just)

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FA (Again one can only hope but personally either way Ferrari 2010 is gonna be one hell of a show)

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH first half. RB second half (Self explanatory)

Renault

Force India
14. AS
15. VL

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA (Same here)

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK (Both are qualifying specialists but Jarno's the better driver overall when he can be bothered)

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ??? (Refer to Renault)

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR (He will be destoryed by Kobayashi and will make Peter Sauber an idiot for signing him in the first place)

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG (Glock has more experience and is one of the most reliable racers out there)

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = Nobody. They won't make it to Bahrain

[coops]

USF1
26. ???

DBTM = ???

[razta]

sorry.. NH is Nico Hulkenburg.. not Heidfeld

[razta]

Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = LH, just gotta be him for once

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR, MS will blow him away

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = tough one this.. MW

Ferrari
7. FM

Doh! I meant Hulkenberg.

[FerrariStu]

Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = LH (one can hope)

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR (Ross will make him the biggest MS supporter in F1)

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW (sorry guys)

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FA (he'll need a season to get up to speed and FM will be like a rat up an aquaduct!)

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ???

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL (earrings and a baldspot alone do not an F1 driver maketh!)

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = James Allen's driving for Toro Rosso?

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK (he has it in him, he can do this)

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ???

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR (the return of the non spectacular Greasy e-mailer will be just that)

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = TG

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = Who honestly gives a monkey's chuff?

[Salamander]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = As much as I hate to say it, Hamilton will likely have the edge on Button.

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = Again, it likely will be Rosberg, though I hope it's not.

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = Probably Webber. As time goes on, he'll be further and further behind Vettel.

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = Massa, though he won't take it lying down.

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = First part of the season, Hulkenburg, but as he gets more used to F1, expect the situation to reverse.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = Being a Kubica fan, I have to say he'll beat whoever he goes up against.

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = I think Sutil and Liuzzi will be fairly evenly matched, but I think Sutil will extract the better performances.

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = Alguersuari. He's still getting used to F1, while Buemi is already looking like possibly being a driver on the Jenson Button/Rubens Barrichello level of greatness.

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = Both.

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = Can't tell at this point.

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = Kobayashi's gonna wipe the floor with de la Rosa.

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = di Grassi. I still rate Glock quite highly, and Virgin'd do well to hang on to him.

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = The entire team.

[StoneColdSpider]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FA

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = RB

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ???

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = BS

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = none, they wont even make it on the grid

[watka]

Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB, sorry it's McLewis after all

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR, if only because he has the team wrapped around his little finger

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = Very difficult actually. Even though I don't expect MW to be at Red Bull for 2011, he may well do better than SV, because I don't expect Red Bull to be challenging for as many wins this season, and SV does not usually perform too well when he's not out front. So I'm actually going to say SV

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = Again difficult. FA won a race on merit in the crudbox Renault in 2008, so he's still got it. I'd expect him to beat FM, if only because it might take a while for FM to find his feet again.

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = As someone said above, RB will be better in the first half of the season, but NH has ridiculously good raw pace and should get better as the season goes on.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = Considering the 2nd driver may be a pay driver, and that Kubica has always been a Renault backed driver. RK should be on top.

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL, he looked a little rusty last season, and AS has talent no doubt.

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA (although some sites are saying he's still not confirmed!)

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = JT tends to qualify well, and then slide back. HK tends to qualify mediocrely and slide back. So HK.

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = I can't imagine they will find a second driver better than BS.

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR has podiums to his name, but KK will be more hungry.

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG, I personally think that he's been in GP2 too long to be anything spectacular.

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = Considering that Jose Maria Lopez might be their first driver, they'll both be deadbeat.

[Phoenix]

My predictions:
McLaren-Not clear, it depends on the treatment Button will be given at most.
Ferrari-I'd say "equal", but is yet to be seen how Massa will have recovered from his accident at Hungary.
Mercedes-Depends; if Schumacher is up to pace, then equal; if not, Schumacher.
Red Bull-Equal, clearly.
Sauber-De la Rosa all the way.
Williams-Theoretically should be Hulkenberg.
Renault-Anyone who takes the 2nd seat.
Force India-Liuzzi, clearly.
Toro Rosso-Alguersuari during the first half of the championship; then, equal.
Virgin-I'll go with di Grassi.
Lotus-Bathplugging difficult to tell, really. I expect nothing but sheer dullness from both.
Campos-I wait till 2nd seat is confirmed.
USF1-No drivers, no prediction. But I expect it will be difficult to choose.

[Popi_Larrauri]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB (if only for the mistreatment given)

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = MS (or I hope so, since I hate him at unreasonable levels)

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW (but only for a marginal margin)

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = Only time will tell. There's anyway sometinhg in favor for Alonso, Massa is erturning from a serious injurie and Alonso hunger for victory may be handy for the goal.

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH, but by the reasonable margin.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ??? Kubica can win over any available option at this moment.

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL, by the reasonable margin.

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA. To me guy is no promise. Buemi is.

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK In Qualifying it will be slaugther. At race it will be the same but not so appaling.

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = I have no idea.

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = go! go! KK! PDR caught old, will receive a bashing, even if I'm not the biggest KK fan.

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG. Timo is good, and it has the experience. Expect the reasonable and he will be ahead by a sensible margin.

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = Impossible to tell. Lopez it's almost confirmed, but not knowing who the other guy is (and how much money brings, thus defining treatment, and how much talent brings) and being Lopez a mistery, It's impossible to tell.

[Collieafc]

Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = Button. Hamilton is a better racer, and its Team McLewis

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = Rosberg (after the first few races)

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = Webber. Although it depends if Vettel can actually overtake...

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = Massa, just

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = Close. May be the Hulk, but only on paper.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = Unless Heidfelt joins, whoever Captain Poland's team mate is

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = Liuzzi. Sutil seems to get better every year. If only he could cut out the crashes...

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = Algu...Buemi's team mate. Buemi is quite solid, and probably deserves a better car than he will get. But it is only his 2nd season

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = Heikki. Trullis better quali pace will translate into slightly better race performance

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = Depends on the standard of the other driver, although its probably a fair bet to say that Senna will get the better deal here

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = De La Rosa. A slower version of Heidfelt will get owned by somebody who actually races...

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = Di Grassi. Purely due to Glocks experience

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = Could be several if it turns into a revolving door of pay drivers...

[lostpin]

And how about the DeadBeat Team Mate of the Year award? I nominate Barrichello, he'll get completely bald in frustration by the end of the year...

[Phoenix]

And how about the DeadBeat Team Mate of the Year award? I nominate Barrichello, he'll get completely bald in frustration by the end of the year...

Not that it would be enough to convince him to retire...Anyway, I don't see him trashed by Hulkenberg. It's a rookie vs a driver who has been racing since 1993.

[Enforcer]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = Button. He's just not as good, plus Lewis is the pet at McLaren.

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = Rosberg. But he won't be disgraced by Schumacher.

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = Webber. Red Bull will drop away from the front of the grid, imho. In a competitive "upper midfield", Vettel's extra bit of speed will be more decisive that Webber's extra bit of consistency. Even though I suspect Mark might see a couple more chequered flags

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = Massa. I love Massa, but Alonso's a better driver. Like Rosberg though, he won't exactly be blown away.

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = Hulkenberg. Can't see him overhauling Rubens unless he's really good.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ??? Unless he's an established good driver, and no established good drivers are being linked with Renault, I reckon even a 80% focused Kubica will put him away

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = Liuzzi. Sutil's a really quick guy.

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = Algesuari. I don't rate him.

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = Kovalainen. Trulli will do what he's done best and put a mediocre car where it doesn't belong (and probably create a few Trulli trains). Kovalainen will put the mediocre car exactly where it belongs.

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = I have no opinion on Senna, and don't know who the other driver is. I hope it's Adam Carroll and Senna ends up being the deadbeat.

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = De la Rosa. He's a decent driver, but he's oldish, no career ahead of him, whilst Kobayashi has everything to play for.

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = Di Grassi. Unless he's a very capable driver (and he was overlooked by Renault in favour of Drossjean), I can't see him matching Glock.

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM =

[Klon]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB by miles, no, scratch that, by lightminutes

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR, again, it'll be very clear

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW, but it will be just as tough for SV as it was this year, as MW will have to fight for his career

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FA, extremely close, maybe only 1 or 2 points

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH, for reason see what madcat said

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = RK, somehow I think his motivation will drop dramatically after the first races and this combined with him not being as good as most people think ... and if Sato gets the drive, he won't have a chance anyway

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL, in my opinion, AS will have the upper hand just like he had in late 09

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA, I doubt he will be around until the end of the season

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK, but none of them will impress anyone this year

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ???, wether Soucek or Petrov, he will have difficulties with BS, who, while mostly living of his famous name, still has some talent

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = KK, if only for Fanboy tears

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG, it'll just be like Williams in this regard

USF1
26. ???
27. ???
DBTM = ???

[mario]

Well, for what it is worth, I might as well have a go.
Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB (LH has the advantage of knowing how Mclaren ticks and has been part of the team for several years - whilst I doubt that JB will have the same problems as FA, he will still struggle to get to grips with a new car and team).

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR. Considering that Mercedes will want to use MS for publicity, and Ross will probably favour him (even unintentionally in some areas) due to their history, NR is going to be marginalised pretty quickly.

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW - whilst he is a quick and smart racer, SV does seem to have just a bit more pace up his sleeve. With the boost from winning races from last year, generally being less rash and now being back to full fitness, he won't be a pushover for SV though.

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = ? - This depends on how well FM has recovered and prepared for 2010. Whilst FM has the advantage of being very popular with the team and a stable relationship with them, Ferrari are looking to FA to take on the team leader role. Eiher way, there will be some tension here until one driver can put the other under the cosh.

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH. RB has the advantage of experience (particularly of the no-refuelling era), which will pay dividends at the start of the season when both drivers try to get to grips with the car.

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ? - With the rumours that Heidfeld has gone to Mercedes as a test driver, it seems that there are few good choices for a solid team mate for RK. On the other hand, we saw how quickly he became demoralised when the 2009 BMW turned out to be a poor car - so if the car is good, he could do well, but if it is poor, he could fall back pretty quickly.

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL. Sutil has had more time in the car, although he will need to avoid having as many incidents as last year, otherwise he could gain a reputation as a car wrecker.

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA. Having been treated so poorly by the team, we could see yet another driver change at STR before the season is out (and he might be relieved at that).

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK. JT can still pull out some good drives (Suzuka, for example). Nevertheless, whilst there are not going to be fireworks from this team, they probably have gone for the best (if also quite underwhelming) driver line up of the new teams.

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ? - At this rate, we're still to even hear who Campos have signed. If someone like Petrov is brought in, it could be reasonably even, but if it is a journeyman with cash, BS (who does seem to have some traces of his uncle's ability) should deal with them easily.

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR - mainly because he hasn't driven a full race distance for so long, and KK will be desperate to make an impression, having nearly been out of a drive for this season.

Virgin
24. TG
25. LdG
DBTM = LdG. He just doesn't seem to quite have the ultimate pace to put up a decent challenge.

USF1
26. Possibly Lopez ?
27. ???
DBTM = I'm surposed that someone is even reading down this far, but anyway. To be honest, both drivers are probably going to be pay drivers with more money than talent - once the names are known, we might as well start writing the profile for the website...

[Guzuky]

Mclaren
1. JB
2. LH
DBTM = JB - Welcome to Team Vodafone McLewis

Mercedes
3. MS
4. NR
DBTM = NR - Welcome to Team Ross-Schumi

RedBull
5. SV
6. MW
DBTM = MW, but only a bit

Ferrari
7. FM
8. FA
DBTM = FM, only because FA has Montezolo at his side, while Massa does not have Schumi any more. (I'm a FA fan nonetheless)

Williams
9. RB
10. NH
DBTM = NH, but only a bit

Renault
11. RK
12. ???
DBTM = ??? - A no brainer really

Force India
14. AS
15. VL
DBTM = VL - AS more experience

Torro Rosso
16. SB
17. JA
DBTM = JA - No good for F1

Lotus
18. JT
19. HK
DBTM = HK - No good for F1 anymore

Campos
20. ???
21. BS
DBTM = ???

Sauber
22. KK
23. PDR
DBTM = PDR - Too old

DBTM = I'm surposed that someone is even reading down this far, but anyway. To be honest, both drivers are probably going to be pay drivers with more money than talent - once the names are known, we might as well start writing the profile for the website...

It's time to begin gathering information and be proactive!! Let's help Jaimie and Enoch real-time with this one!!

New idea - DBTMOTY 2010.

My tip would be Liuzzi - I see him failing miserably and being replaced by Di Resta mid season, who goes and wins at Monza and Spa

that would be interesting.. or a DBTM of the race too

Finally. Something new to add to this season's Predicament Predictions championship.
I might also make the Monaco round double points so stay tuned

CLASSIC !!!!

Very interesting thread. Surprising posters are giving such high regard to Massa, or low regard to FA. It will be one to watch at Ferrari.

It's just strange how everytime the inter-house Ferrari war is mentioned, Wizzie is there to offer us popcorn. So I presume there is some sort of string attached to this...is it made by Piquet Popcorn Ltd? Does each bag contain 17 kernels?

[FullMetalJack]

This is an interesting challenge predicting the deadbeat teammate of the year. It could be one driver from any team, except Red Bull in my opinion as Vettel and Webber are so closely matched.

[razta]

Game Over for Rosberg eh?

Someone tells Nico the story of a guy who used to be in F1, called Heid-something. He stops being a Hanna Montana lookalike and sends gramps back into retirement. Ol' Ross cries for weeks.
