Ok, it's different enough from the pecking order prediction to also fill this out - with equally unlikely predictions, just because I hope things will be stirred up a bit:
Alonso, even though I think he could have made some room for a younger driver by now, if AR nails it, it is Alonso that has to bring in the bacon.
Well...
- World Constructors Champion:
Ferrari, because Stroll will bone AMs score, and while Max will outperform the Ferrari drivers, their combined consistency will place the team above RB.
Well...
Nyck! Ok, those are orange glasses, I think he will do a good job but in a bad car. So then I guess Piastri is in the best position.
Without the orange colored glasses, this turned out OK
Either: Alpine having a good philosophy but bad execution, ending 4th (while AM wins on a similar concept) or MB massively flopping and ending 7th.
Somewhat I guess? Alpine was not great indeed, and MB was slightly flopping (but not massively)
Max not winning the championship? Or maybe: Wolff not trying to get any rules changed in favor of MB? (ok, just joking a bit - let's not start a war
). I guess if my predictions come true there are very few things that would not constitute a big surprise anyway, except perhaps for AT finishing at the rear end.
Max did win, that much is sure. Did Toto try to induce mid-season rule changes? Didn't keep track (for sure there were mid-season rule changes with respect to the wings once again, but didn't really check where they came from this time).
K-Mag.
Meh.
Alonso masters this still.
He wasn't bad, although I guess Max mostly managed to turn his starts into P1, so perhaps has more right to this title.
Charles, they'll maintain fast in quali, lesser in race.
He didn't have most, but punched above his weight in quali. So that part was true.
George Russell.
I did expect more from Russell, but of course the biggest under-performer was Perez.
Hulkenberg.
In qualifying, yes. In race, it was Max, Lewis and Liam
