So what are your predictions?
Last GP at the Hungaroring showed that the McLarens definately have the fastest car now. However, I think that at SPA the difference will be less as RB seem to have a very effective DRS, so the RB20 is probably strong at overtaking here. But if it'll be enough? Here is my prediction: 1. NOR 2. VER 3. PIA 4. SAI 5. HAM 6. LEC 7. PER 8. RUS 9. ALO 10. TSU

Think the McLarens are unbeatable (anywhere)! So , also at SPA .. The SPA-Francorchamps track got a new asphalt layer , this will make the circuit even faster . Friday => 90% chance of rain (5 mm) Saturday => 95% chance of rain (13 mm) Sunday => 45% chance of rain (1.5 mm) Temps. => 18/20°C Hopefully we can see a race without crashes and incidents .. As we know the Spa track is extremely dangerous (!)

In Austria, RUS was almost 15 seconds behind both Lando and VER and 2 seconds ahead of SAI before the accident allowing RUS to win. At Silverstone, HAM won because of the rain and better (tire) strategy but you take the rain away, HAM likely doesn’t finish ahead of Lando or VER. In race pace, McLaren is the quickest and has been for the most part since Miami and Red Bull is just behind them. Mercedes and Ferrari are 3 and 4 depending on track and external conditions. |

In F1 : It's only the results that really matter.

True.
But still, I think TheBingoBalls really was pretty close when it came to car/team rankings. From there, there is any new upgrade and strategy. I don't think Lando just "matured" into a better driver, I think the car allowed him to be over Sainz level, and even over Max...those cars are very quick. Mercedes just seem content with building on a concept that works, and working on incremental changes that cut the gap. I think the 2 wins are a little optimistic considering where the cars are compared to the others. Ferrari is basically the same thing, it looks like messy* management. Sounds like the talent is there at least. Hopefully they iron it out before Lewis steps in.

They would have to show some grace period with Yuki and Lawson should they make the switch at summer break and Red Bull doesn’t have the luxury for that with the car now and bleeding points. But this way maybe Lawson gets into RB alongside Yuki and the next 6 months they battle out for the 2025 Red Bull seat if Danny sucks. |
