Predictions for the 2017 Season

[piboye]

Melbourne is only about a week away and we've seen testing.  Who do you think will win the drivers championship and what order do you think the teams will be in by the end of the season?

(I know I'm new to the group, so I don't know if you want to have some discussion threads.  Should I not make posts like this in the future or would you like more?  I love the pre-race interviews, but they don't lead to much discussion between one another.  Let me know what you would and would not like, or if I should be quiet since I'm new.)

All discussion like that is more than Welcome Drake!!

Winner: Lewis Hamilton (My wishes are for Raikkonen and Bottas)
Winning team: Mercedes 2nd team: Ferrari 3rd: Red Bull

I agree with you about Hamilton probably winning and the top three teams being that way. What about the other teams? Here are my guesses. (Although I can't tell with most of the midfield).

4. Williams
5. Force India
6. Haas (Yes, this may be a bit of my own personal desire having them move up a little).
7. Renault
8. Torro Rosso
9. McLaren
10. Sauber

Anyone else agree or disagree?

Toro Rosso is gonna be a very good midfield

 

[piboye]

Yeah, the midfield could easily be: 5. Torro Rosso, 6. Renault, 7. Force India, 8. Haas.  It will probably depend on how well they each develop their car over the season.

Force India is gonna be higher because ladies first!

Hahaha would have been so funny! But I think McLaren need more Pepto Bismol than Force India

 

[patlessard]

McLaren need an engine ; )

In watching practice with both cars on track, the Force India looks like Ferrari's "little sister."
