Five predictions from 2015, did I got any of them right?

During my first post of 2015. I did a post on five racing predictions for 2015, and the post was really a fun post on five predictions that may happen in 2015. But the main question is did I got any right? let see:

Number 1, Citroen to win at least one rally in WRC this season.
First prediction was Right. As it did happen with Citroen with Kris Meeke winning the Rally Argentina back in late April for Kris Meeke first WRC win.



Number 2, Daniil Kvyat to win a Grand Prix by this seasons British Grand Prix.
No Grand Prix win before Silverstone for Daniil Kvyat. Best finish was a fourth place finish at Monaco before this seasons British Grand Prix. But, his best finish was at the Hungarian Grand Prix were Kvyat finished in second place ahead of team-mate Daniel Ricciardo. I got a prediction Wrong.



Number 3, Suzuki to take a podium or two in MotoGP this season.
No podium this season for the works Suzuki team this season in MotoGP. Best position for a Suzuki was three sixth place finishes between Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales. Despite Aleix Espargaro took a pole position for the new Suzuki GSX-RR at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in mid-June. So once again I got another prediction Wrong.



Number 4, Porsche to win 2015 Drivers' and Manufacturers' titles in 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship season
Second prediction I got Right. Porsche did win this seasons Drivers' and Manufacturers' titles with Timo Bernhard, Mark Webber and Brendon Hartley behind the wheel. While Earl Bamber, Nick Tandy and Nico Hülkenberg won this years 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Porsche 919 Hybrid. Basically, a great year for Porsche in Endurance racing.



Number 5, Williams, McLaren and Ferrari will win a race each in 2015.
Yes Ferrari did win three Grand Prixs with Sebastian Vettel this season. But, Williams didn't win a Grand Prix this season, with Williams only managing four third place finishes between Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. While McLaren wasn't even close to a Grand Prix win, with Fernando Alonso taking McLaren best finish with a fifth place finish in Hungary. So once again I got another prediction Wrong.







So basically I got two out of five predictions right. More fun predictions in 2016.

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