Back in 2006, I wonder how many times Alonso's name would have come up if this was 2007-2016?

Leclerc wont beat Verstappen, he might win a race but never over a season, maybe you mean Ocon but Ocon is the ultimate Nr2 driver...

I think a lot comes down to what happens with the engines, a field reshuffle but beyond that Max will go break Schumachers records I hope 😝

Love the irony in the OP's name. Fan of History but guessing the next 10 future champions.

I don't know about the next ten years,but I think Lewis, Fernando & Vettel all have at least one more to win.

Max will definitely will given the car, as well as Stoffel Vandoorne.

Who knew anything about Alonso in 1998? About Vettel in 2004?

 

The rise of Max Verstappen proves that a very talented driver can rise to the scene very suddenly.

 

I am pretty sure there will be at least one champion in the next 10 years (probably at least 5 years away from today), who we don't know about yet and who is still in karting.

 

As for current drivers. Hamilton looks well-positioned to take some more. Vettel probably can challenge for some more, but as the Alonso example shows, you can easily get stuck in cars in which you finish 2nd or 3rd and the title eludes you.

 

Ricciardo and Verstappen seem to have the raw talent to challenge for WDCs, but whether they get the cars we don't know yet. Although you'd bet at least one of them will get it one day!

The Verstappen hype is getting ridiculous. Yes he's good but hold your horses.

 

Anyway, my guess:

 

2016: Vettel (Ferrari)

2017: Kvyat (Red Bull)

2018: Hamilton (Mercedes)

2019: Ricciardo (Ferrari)

2020: Hamilton (Mercedes)

2021: Perez (Renault)

2022: Perez (Renault)

2023: Vandorne (Mclaren)

2024: Vandorne (Mclaren)

2025: Vandorne (Ferrari)

 

Explanations: Ricciardo will jump ship to replace Raikkonen for 2017, then Red Bull get their old form back and leaves Kvyat to beat an underwhelming Verstappen to the title. Then back to Mercedes - Ferrari dominance, Ricciardo beating Vettel. Hamilton retires after 2020. Renault invest big and a much-improved Perez gets 2 titles, before Mclaren belatedly return to competitiveness and Vandorne wins 2 titles before getting poached by Ferrari.

2016 Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
2017 Daniel Ricciardo (Ferrari)

-- Big regulation shift (I don't believe the changes will be approved by 2017) --
2018 Daniel Ricciardo (Ferrari)
2019 Max Verstappen (Mercedes)
2020 Daniel Ricciardo (Ferrari)
2021 Stoffel Vandoorne (McLaren Honda)
2022 Stoffel Vandoorne (McLaren Honda)
2023 Max Verstappen (Mercedes)
2024 Esteban Ocon (McLaren Honda)
2025 Max Verstappen (Ferrari)

 

Ricciardo moves to Ferrari in 2017 and delivers the title Vettel almost did in 2016. The regulation changes push Mercedes into a bit of a slump and give McLaren Honda a leg up, pushing Alonso to 2nd in his final season in 2018; Vandoorne then wins in 2021 thanks to a regulation tweak, and the McLaren Honda partnership finally starts to look like the days of old.

 

Hamilton departs Mercedes in 2019 after a torrid 2018 season and pressure from Verstappen, and he goes to the Renault works team, but another championship is not forthcoming, and he retires after the 2022 season; Hamilton's teammate during those years, Ocon, moves to McLaren and has a monumental 2024 season to beat his old F3 nemesis, Verstappen.

 

Vettel -- now beaten by Ricciardo 3 times -- departs Ferrari for Mercedes in 2019, but Max Verstappen -- who replaced Rosberg for 2018 -- is the one who wins Mercedes first title since 2016. Vettel retires after 2023 when he fails to beat Verstappen at the title decider and loses by a point -- he ends his career with 4 championships.

 

The now aging Ricciardo quits Ferrari after 2024 for a nice seat at Williams, with Verstappen taking the vacant seat at Ferrari, Vandoorne at Mercedes, and Ocon still at McLaren. A new generation of yet unknown drivers are in the 2nd seats and look like being champions in 2026.

 

Red Bull persists beyond 2016, but the company is wound up after 2018 when the regulation changes fail to make it a winner, hence the move by Verstappen to Mercedes in 2018. Williams takes 2 wins during the 10 year period, with Perez proving to be a decent driver, although a complete resurgence never occurs. The works Renault team takes 7 wins -- all but one thanks to the brilliance of Hamilton -- but never comes close to a championship and winds things up in 2022.

In 2005 very few people would have been aware of Hamilton, nevermind Vettel. Kimi was considered a shoe-in for WCs. The start of 2005 Giancarlo Fisichella was considered a hot prospect. I know, I was one of them.

 

Leclerc wont beat Verstappen, he might win a race but never over a season, maybe you mean Ocon but Ocon is the ultimate Nr2 driver...

I think a lot comes down to what happens with the engines, a field reshuffle but beyond that Max will go break Schumachers records I hope 😝

 

You don't think LeClerc, or other drivers, can't beat Max when they're driving different cars? Tons of people have been beating Max all year.
Max is an exceptional driver and I understand the role nationalism plays in this, but come on man you still live in the same universe as the rest of us.

ps in 2005, at any point in 2005, who would have predicted Mercedes and Red Bull would be dominant WC players? Why would you predict they will for the next 10?

 

Do we even know what the rules package will be in 2020?

2006. Alonso

2007. Raikkonen

2008. Hamilton

2009. Button

2010. Vettel

 

Of course, some put too much belief in JPM, Barrichello, Trulli, Heidfeld, Rossi (!)...

Too hard to say what team and which specific year. 

Verstappen is too good not to win a championship and I feel Sainz has that ability as well. If McLaren get it together than Vandoorne could win one. Ocon shows promise and as a Merc driver does have a potential route to a top car.

Astonishing. The amount of hyperbole that Verstappen gets is amazing, the best since Senna eh? When we had Hakkinen, Schumacher, Alonso , Vettel and Hamilton in that time, might as well just anoint Max as the best driver in history whilst you're at it.

 

Well, it might be hyperbole but up to some reasonable point it seems to be legitimed at the same time!

 

Hakkinen was good but nog brilliant and surely not at the same level as Schumacher, Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton for me. And I really dislike Alonso and are pro Hakkinen up till some point. But Hakkinen never was at their level!

 

Next to that I do think more highly of Verstappen over Alonso. And he is matched to Vettel, Hamilton and Schumacher or even Senna indeed. What this guy does and did over the last 10 years is outstanding and never been seen before. Only when do people acknowledge it, that he really is the rare talent as many say he is? Everything depands on place and time, but up to this point it's not if Verstappen gets a championship winning car, but when!

He's got a lot of talent that's for sure. All I hope is that he doesn't go up against one of the big guns too soon and have his confidence battered. He's still got time to get some experience for 2-3 seasons and STILL only be 20-21 when he goes up against a Vettel or Hamilton. 

 

Saying that, he maybe ok.  ;)

Recently Trevor Carlin said Magnussen was the heir to Senna.

So. I dunno. I think it's just the laziest comparison in racing these days.

Actually I am getting sick of people throwing in my nationality as a excuse to just down talk. I am far more objective then my nationality shows. I will follow my national drivers more but I rate drivers independently of their nationality and to the same standards.

Leclerc is a good kid, he has one of the best managers you can get, cause he can open doors and have officials cover your back in questionable cases. But he is not high on the teams radar yet and will most likely spend a few years in gp3/gp2 before getting a chance with Renault. But here is my prediction. He will not become a WDC, most likely the next Grosjean. He will sniff to victories and maybe will occasionally win a race. Only in case a a big rule changes and him being in the right team, with a rookie teammate in the first year will beat that prediction. He wont win twice cause as soon as he is in a championship winning car that team will be able to attract a better driver and he will be a nr2 the next year.

I expect more from Ocon and a few other drivers.

I don't think he'll be WC either. Or even drive a WC winning car(most drivers don't). But you said he won't beat Verstappen over a season. And we all know that's an entirely reasonable prediction, because the fortunes of F1 can be so weird. When was the last time Fernando Alonso was 17th in the points?

Remember when Webber retired and Ricciardo got promoted?

I doubt being beaten by a driver like Vettel, Hamilton or Alonso could break his confidence. If anything he will have access to their data and learn what to do different. He will come out stronger. If anything being beaten by Sainz or a other rookie would hurt him more.

On topic, I hope vandoorne gets a good seat for next tear, he together with Ghiotto, Wehrlein and Ocon are the nicest talents on the radar imho. So good future prospects for Dutch, Belgium, Italian and French fans. Will suck for the British once Hamilton retires.

Well seeing as he put Leclerc as between 2 championship s from Max, Leclerc would need a dominating car to pull that off imho.

Tbh Alonso position is not the shocker.. it is that he is beaten by Button. Imho Button is building up more rep in the years after his championship then everything before that.

Funny thread. Here's my wishful prediction.

 

2016. Halmiton (Mercedes)

2017. Vettel (Ferrari)

2018. Vettel (Ferrari)

2019. Bottas (Mercedes)

2020. Bottas (Mercedes)

2021. Verstappen (Ferrari)

2022. Rosenqvist (McLaren)

2023: Ocon (Williams)

2024. Ocon (Williams)

2025. Stroll (Ferrari)

 

After two disappointing years Hamilton returns to McLaren in 2019, but Bottas who joined the team after Nico in 2017 then wins 2 championships. However, due to regulation changes Verstappen in Ferrari beats everyone in 2021. Then, after lewis has retired for good Felix Rosenqvist suddenly finds himself in a winning car. Williams finally succeeds as 28-year-old Ocon becomes a double-champion. Then it's once again Ferrari's turn with Lance Stroll.

Giving the driver who sets pole the option to choose the side on which he starts is not a bad idea really. In the wet like this past Sunday there really isn't much sense to starting on the side with the most rubber on but on the outside of the first corner, and had Rosberg had the choice, he might well have chosen to start on the left side of the track rather than the right.

 

Wouldn't they have to repaint all the grid slots or would you just start from p2 with p2 in p3 etc (if you see what I mean)?

Anyone tipping Stroll as a future WC should lost their posting rights. You are not a friend of motorsport.

Remember when Sergio Rinland said Kimi was Senna?

Recently Trevor Carlin said Magnussen was the heir to Senna.

So. I dunno. I think it's just the laziest comparison in racing these days.

"How good is Driver X?"
"Uh..uh...as good as Senna"

 

It's a bit like round here when someone asks "How good a poster is he?" "Uh... as good as Stonefeld?" And then we're at the back muttering that Stonefeld was not this perfect idealized god and actually his conduct was very harmful to postership among the generation that idolized him.
