2023 Grid Predictions

[Swed3121]

In light of the recent silly season insanity, I thought it would be fun to create a thread where anyone can post they’re full 2023 grid, and whoever gets it right can use this as a I told you so Card.

Please post a full grid of 20 drivers ,please also make them somewhat realistic (i.e don’t include a nascar driver or something) but you can ignore super license points, IF you can explain how the driver would get into f1.

Explanations of choices are welcome but not required

RBR: Verstappen / Perez
Ferrari: Leclerc / Sainz
Mercedes: Hamilton / Russell
Alpine: Ocon / Ricciardo
McLaren: Norris / Palou
Alfa: Bottas / Zhou
Haas: Magnussen / Schumacher
Alpha: Gasly / Tsunoda

Norris / Palou? Totally possible, but would be quiet the curve ball if Daniel indeed isn’t at McLaren in 2023

I'm not sure to be honest. It all depends on if he thinks he can grab his eight championship next year. And I think it's an interesting point. What's Mercedes plan B if the car get's worse after the summer break?

But mostly, I had to start somewhere, and making boring predictions is, well, boring.
