2006?
2007?
2008?
2009?
2010?

World Drivers Championships or GPWC World Championships, if you like.
Name the world champion in these years.

I think:

2006: Trulli, for Toyota
2007: Trulli, for Toyota
2008: Alonso, for McLaren :eek:

2009: Webber, for Toyota :up:

2010: AJ Allmendinger, for Ferrari

I'll predict it will be the the driver who scores the most points in each season.

Aw, clatter, You ruined it for everybody! :lol:

Ok, my guesses:
2006: Michael Schumacher, Ferrari
2007: Jenson Button, Honda
2008: Michael Schumacher, Ferrari
2009: Mathias Lauda, Williams
2010: Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari

This is highly classified information. Only Bernie, me and few others know about this.

2006: Kimi Raikkonen, Mclaren
2007: Fernando Alonso, Ferrari
2008: Jarno Trulli, Toyota
2009: Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari
2010: Lewis Hamilton, Mclaren

The funniest part is that no-one believes me, and after 2010 no-one remembers this thread.

2006 Takuma Sato - Super Aguri
2007 Takuma Sato - Super Aguri
2008 Takuma Sato - Super Aguri
2009 Takuma Sato - Super Aguri
2010 Takuma Sato - Super Aguri

The Sato era is approaching. Be afraid.

Alonso must be favourite to do a repeat performance, having demonstrated so clearly this year that he knows how to win championships, not just races. I suppose that even Raikkonnen cannot go on screwing it up for ever, so he will manage to win the WDC sometime this decade. I hope that Montoya can pull things together and score a WDC. I don't see any of the other current F1 drivers having what it takes to be WDC (Michael has lost it and the others have never had it).

Possible future WDCs still to enter F1 must include Hamilton and I am starting to think perhaps Rosberg as well.

From the current crop the only potential WDC winners I see are: MS, FA, KR.

Despite their undoubted speed on occasion, I have doubts that MW, JPM, GF have what it takes. Will be interested to see what promise the likes of Rosberg show.

If the manufacturers split, Schumacher will return from retirement:-

...
2008 - Michael Schumacher, Ferrari
2009 - Michael Schumacher, Ferrari
2010 - Michael Schumacher, Ferrari

...ad infinitum (more or less)

Darn, I meant to say Roseberg.

Aw, but let's keep it that way.

On second thougth...
It would be funny if:

2006: Felipe Massa, Ferrari. Rubens Barrichello tries to comite suicide
2007: Jenson Button, Honda. Barrichello leaves Honda to McLaren, where he says he will have the #1 status
2008: Juan Pablo Montoya, McLaren. Barrichello have a nervous breakdown, but since Montoya is leaving the british team, Rubens reafirms his position of main driver of the team.
2009: Rookie Lewis Hamilton wins in a McLaren. Barrichello moves to GP Masters:
2010: I don't know about F-1, but at Masters, Rubens teams up with Coulthard, and looses to the Scotish who at least had his year.

I hope for the sake of the sane posters on this BB that Villeneuve wont be one of them.

On the other hand, just imagine the ensuing fun!

coyote

esp. Masters

2006 Raikkonen, breaks through after losing 2.

If this question was asked in 2000, I'd imagine Schumacher would have received a lot of votes, but only hard core fans would have picked 5 in a row. The biggest difference would likely have been Williams and probably BAR as they were supposed to be great with their new BMW/Honda alliances.

You should sent around a Memo to the other drivers that (a) long term personal contracts aren't awailable with half of the field, and (b) don't bother to show up, as results were decided on

I could be wrong, but aren't you fan of Kimi by any chance?
