Been a while, but I’m back – how have you all been?
- First off I’d like to wish Robert Kubica a quick recovery – that’s my number one wish for 2011, that we see Robert back in a his Renault and thrilling us all with his spectacular driving talent once again.
- I want Lewis Hamilton to win the Driver’s Championship – did you really expect anything else? If his car is competitive from the start I believe the only thing stopping Hamilton form achieving title number 2 is himself. But then those mistakes that come from being over-zealous is also the mentality that makes him such an exciting driver to watch, and I love his all or nothing attitude. However, he just needs to reign it in once in a while to avoid giving away points needlessly.
- If Hamilton can’t win the Driver’s Championship he at least needs to beat Jenson Button, and convincingly from start to finish. I don’t want any of this Button getting race victories before Hamilton like last year – I want total team mate domination from the 2008 Champion, from the very first race and continuing throughout the season.
- McLaren to win the Constructor’s Championship. I may be more loyal to Hamilton than the team but I still like McLaren more than any other team and I don’t want them coming in behind the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari. Not sure this point and the previous sit well together, but I can dream!
- I don’t want a dominant car like the Red Bulls last year. Qualifying was on the whole very predicable and boring and this year I want more people on pole, and more people vying for a pole position during qualifying.
- With Hamilton ultimately winning, I want a close race for the Championship like last year. 2009 was a fairytale story for Brawn but it was boring, going down to the last race with 4 people statistically in with a chance made for a great season in 2010 – more of the same please.
- Weber to beat Vettel. I actually like Vettel a lot more than I did as I think he’s matured a lot, but I still want to see Weber beat his younger team mate. In fact if Hamilton doesn’t win the Championship, in the absence of Kubica, I want Weber to become 2011 Champion.
- Lotus (not the Renault team) to score points, and specifically Kovalainen. Drove brilliantly for a team that couldn’t really compete, but so very nearly did, at the back end of the established teams anyway. Any man that becomes his own fireman deserves at least 1 Championship point
That’s me done for now, there maybe nmore to come later. So, agree, disagree or have your own wishes for the season? To borrow a catchphrase from Sidepodcast; see you in the comments.
McLaren Fan Blog 
Is this a McLaren fan blog, or a Hamilton one? It’s a very short sighted view to want Hamilton to ‘dominate’ his team mate, even if he can’t win the WDC himself. Button doing a ‘Kovi’ won’t deliver the WCC to Woking, the grid is too close for that.
It’s a Hamilton Fan blog – look at the banner Adie ;o)
Yeah, sorry. Was having a bad day at work and ranted!!! 🙂
Sorry mate!
I’m a big boy, I can take it!
To be honest it seems that the tyres will probably suit Button this year – tho’ whether there’s any hope at all for McLaren in the early part of the season…they may have a wee bit of catching up to do.
Apparently Lewis has had issue with people thinking he doesn’t treat his tyres as well and says that over the course of the race there’s not much between him and Jesnon – we will see, I for one hope Lewis is right!
