Formula 1: 4 Big Predictions For 2013

1. First Sacking

Vergne

There are so many options for this - maybe Massa for not being up to the Ferrari standard? Or Mark Webber for not being a Sebastian Vettel clone? That's what Helmut Marko would want in Red Bull. However I don't think it's either of these two - I think it will be Jean-Eric Vergne or team mate Daniel Ricciardo - granted Red Bull normally give their "junior" drivers at least two seasons before they kick them into the "bad lands" although Buemi in a Toyota LMP1 and Alguersuari at BBC Five Live isn't that bad a fall back. However, the difference with JEV and DR (as I now shall forever call them) is that they are under enormous pressure from Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz to improve the position of Torro Rosso on the grid. The signs have all been there in the past - remember Scott Speed? The American was a part of Torro Rosso in the first one and a half years of their existence starting in 2006. A few poor months later and he was cast off - replaced by then BMW Sauber test driver Sebastian Vettel. Then there is four time Champ Car champion and IndyCar racer Sebastian Bourdais - he signed for the team in 2008 replacing Vitantonio Liuzzi - he then had his contract terminated in July 2009 after, guess what, approximately 18 months. As you should now see the pattern could repeat itself - keep an eye out for July 2013 - then message me here and ask me how my predictions can be so accurate. If this doesn't happen then please let me deal with my shame on my own. Read on for my conclusion...
