Five predictions for 2014, did I got any of them right?

During my first post of 2014. I did a post on five racing predictions for 2014, and the post was really a fun post on five predictions that may happen in 2014. But the main question is did I got any right? let see:

Number 1, 13-0 for VW in the WRC this season.
Well almost happen with 12 wins, but it could have been 13 Rally wins but for Jari-Matti Latvala crashing out of Rally Germany in August on the last day of the rally with three stages to go to give Hyundai and Thierry Neuville their first ever WRC win. So basically I got it Wrong.



Number 2, Nico Rosberg Formula 1 World Champion 2014.
With Nico Rosberg finishing in second place in the F1 Drivers' Championship this season with 67 points (42 points if double points didn't happen in Abu Dhabi) behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the end of the season. Nico Rosberg could have won the Drivers' title in the end but didn't happen. So this prediction was Wrong.



Number 3, Toyota to win the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Toyota did win this years World Endurance Championship with Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi. But didn't win this years 24 Hours of Le Mans, despite they were leading mid-way through, that went to Audi once again. So once again, I got a prediction Wrong.



Number 4, Nicky Hayden to score more points than the works Ducati riders.
With top Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso finishing in fifth place in the MotoGP Riders' Championship with 187 points. Nicky Hayden could only managed a sixteenth place finish in the standings with 47 points, despite Hayden missed five races due to injury. Possibly the worse prediction of 2014 I got that prediction completely and utterly Wrong.



Number 5, Marussia or Caterham finally scoring a point in Formula 1.
This last prediction did happen with Marussia, which I got it Right. A ninth place finish (eighth on the road minus penalties) for Jules Bianchi at Monaco gives Marussia their first points in Formula 1, and ninth place in the Constructors' that means ahead of both Sauber and Caterham in the standings. Despite the team went into administration, and missed the last three races of the season and the team folded during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend.



So basically I got one out of five right. More fun predictions in 2015.

End of post for now, new post soon, bye.
