So what are your predictions?

Spa showed again that the McLaren cars are dominating. But who will win? Lando Norris showed in Spa that he can be really fast and drive a good pole lap, but in the race he made little mistakes from time to time so he couldn't get a hold of his teammate.
Ferrari was pretty fast as well, where Charles Leclerc beat Max Verstappen by a small margin.

This is my prediction:

1. PIA
2. NOR
3. VER
4. RUS
5. LEC
6. HAM
7. ALB
8. ANT
9. HAD
10. SAI

For people who don't place predictions: please refrain from giving negative comments after the race on predictions other members have given. Nobody makes perfect predictions, and if you don't make predictions yourself, you're not showing you know better.

Forecast is for a dry race but wet qualifying. The cynic in me wonders if the FIA will conduct qualifying behind the safety car? :lol:;)

As long as MAX is in it you can't discount him for the win, even with their advantage the Larens can still break off for whatever on this tight circuit .
1. MAX
2. LEC
3. ANT
4. RUS
5 onwards w.h.y.

Weather can be changeable, flip side to Sunday where chance of rain is stronger, with a dry Friday and Saturday so looks like a coin toss for all teams except the Larens as to what wings will be used for main race.

Easily the best idea for him. He can now just watch who has the best car. It would be quite amusing if Red Bull somehow has the best car. What a twist that would be.

Rumors are that since there's one more rave and max is 28 points ahead of George the exit clause can no longer be triggered

I'm going for:

1. Lando
2. Oscar
3. Max
4. Charles
5. Alex

Max is going to see which team has the best package with the new regulations and try to get a ride with them.

Maybe Red Bull but I think it will take a few years to get the Ford PU competitive.
Ford has been out of F1 for decades.

The only other teams that can afford him are MB, Ferrari, Aston and Audi.

There's a reason RBR went with Ford partner and it's only known in the well locked confines of MK hq's; I think they're onto getting a hole in one with it...that's why MAX is staying with the devil he knows.

Should have made the deal with Porsche. Rumor has it that Horner was instrumental in blocking it.

It was VERY tempting but...well you know Porsche wanted RBR's butt and the Doctor would have blocked it too :)

I'm still thinking it's a RedBull Powertrain with Ford badging for the next several years.

FORD is either:
First
On
Race
Day

or

Found
On
Roadside
Dead

Or

F'ed
Over
Re-built
Dodge
