Prediction time

No idea at all

Mercedes look great then not so much, same for Ferrari. McLaren's upgrades look great. Max seems to have mastered the car, but a 10/10 effort just gets him into some contention

Kimi looks awesome. Puts George under huge pressure. I predict wth confidence that Kimi will outpoint George this year, by a reasonable margin. Generational talent? Maybe, but aside from inexperience, he is faster than George. Experience is great, but mph is better

Liam did enough to get to SQ2 but the Albon issue was too late. He's going well, Alpine are now a thorn for Racing Bulls.

Not hard to see the top 4 teams will compress a lot sooner than generally expected this season
