And just to be different I go with Rosset.

stupot94 · Post by **stupot94** » 19 Apr 2011, 12:07

Pedro Lamy

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 19 Apr 2011, 13:13

I say Lamy but by a short margin

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 19 Apr 2011, 19:12

Lamy for me too.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 19 Apr 2011, 19:28

My first time guessing at this and I'm going for Rossett...

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 20 Apr 2011, 01:07

It has to be Lamy.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 20 Apr 2011, 06:24

Hm... Rosset here.

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 20 Apr 2011, 20:20

I'll go for Lamy aswell

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 21 Apr 2011, 22:10

Ukyo Katayama.

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 22 Apr 2011, 08:22

Pedro Diniz's debut season score is high enough to get him near the Top 10. That's impressive. It will be interesting to find out if he makes it into the Top 10. Ricardo Zonta is another man we might see there because of his BAR years.

Please update this thread in shorter time intervals. Thank you.

Oh, and another man I can see having a go at the Top 10 is current driver Adrian Sutil because he was at the right place for it at Spyker and since the early days for Force 1ndia during a time when there are many, many races on the calendar.

Don't worry, I just went on holiday and just didn't feel like doing it. 1996 results will be up tomorrow.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 23 Apr 2011, 09:10

I'm going for Ukyo Katayama to win 1997.

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 23 Apr 2011, 09:17

I'll go all radical and say Tarso Marques.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 23 Apr 2011, 10:37

Katayama.

Close candidates are Salo, Morbidelli, Marques, and Trulli.

James1978 · Post by **James1978** » 23 Apr 2011, 10:52

Can't believe how far down Rosset is in 1996 to be honest! (Behind Diniz who was in a much better car too)

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 23 Apr 2011, 16:55

I choose Mika Salo here.

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 23 Apr 2011, 18:30

Wow, just two seasons and Diniz and his inclusion in the All-time top 10 look rock solid. He´ll be with no doubt third by the end of 1997

For 1997 I´ll go different and say Verstappen.

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 23 Apr 2011, 19:28

It's funny how Martin Brundle quietly manages to move up to 3rd in the all-time standings whilst Pedro Diniz makes a spectacular entrance to the Top 10 in 6th place. Forza PP Diniz!(Maybe it wasn't just sponsorship money because of which he later drove for PP Sauber AG. Maybe it was also his initials!) :lol:

stupot94 · Post by **stupot94** » 23 Apr 2011, 22:01

1997 tough.

Im going Damon Hill (and I will be surprised if he has not got any laps at the back with his Arrows)(Hungaroring though)

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 24 Apr 2011, 01:00

KATAYAMA!

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 26 Apr 2011, 10:36

I am going with Katayama too!

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 26 Apr 2011, 13:38

By the way, just noticed that Johnny Claes is listed as a driver of the day today at StatsF1.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 26 Apr 2011, 14:09

I'll try with Ukyo Katayama again.

James1978 · Post by **James1978** » 26 Apr 2011, 17:15

In my original predictions I said Katayama for 1997 and see no reason to change him.

Post by **tommykl** » 26 Apr 2011, 17:29

Alright, keep posting your picks and I'll have 1997 up by the end of the week (schoolwork's a b*tch).

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 27 Apr 2011, 02:36

Ukyo for me!

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 27 Apr 2011, 14:21

I'll stick with the crowd and go for Katayama

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 27 Apr 2011, 17:00

We have to wait and see whether Diniz is able to improve that record even further. Katayama retired after 1997. Conspiracy theorists can say something about this, did he know that he had moved to 1st position?

On with my 1998 pick: Esteban Tuero.

stupot94 · Post by **stupot94** » 27 Apr 2011, 17:12

98' tough one.

Panis

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 27 Apr 2011, 18:01

1998 will be very tough... I particularly think it will be Riccardo Rosset, with Takagi very close.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 27 Apr 2011, 18:31

Rosset for 1998!

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 27 Apr 2011, 21:20

Ricardo Tosser...errrm, I mean Rosset, of course, even though (or because of) he DNQd in a few races.

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 27 Apr 2011, 22:41

Katayama's record is spectacular. I did not expect Joakim Bonnier's record to be broken so soon. We will have to wait and see if besides Pedro Diniz also HWNSNBM, Christijan Albers, Tiago Monteiro, Sakon Yamamoto and Adrian Sutil can make it into the Top 10.

I get the strange feeling that Narain Karthikeyan has returned to F1 this year to have a go at winning the prestigious Johnny Claes Award ...

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 27 Apr 2011, 23:32

I didn't expect Katayama to burst into the No. 1 spot

For 1998 of course I'm going to go for my all-time favourite reject, RICARDO ROSSET =D

Ferrim · Post by **Ferrim** » 27 Apr 2011, 23:42

Pedro Diniz will take no. 1 spot. And Adrian Sutil will be the only one with a chance at beating him.

You read it here first.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 28 Apr 2011, 00:10

My money's on Olivier Panis

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 28 Apr 2011, 02:05

I'm gonna go different and go for Takagi. Especially because I don't like the look of that 1.00 average...

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 28 Apr 2011, 03:09

Panis is my choice for this year!
