Let's check in on my predictions at the beginning of the season:
1st place - Mclaren - Star talent, podium points scorers.
2nd place - Ferarri - Star talent, podium points scorers.
3rd place - Dare I say...Williams? - Two points scores.
4th place - Red Bull - Lawson isn't ready for the big show. Max will 100% be by himself up front.
5th place - Merc - Hampered by the rookie, George will have to fight up front by himself and I don't think he'll be able to do it consistently.
6th place - Racing Bulls - Hampered by the rookie, but could outplace Merc.
7th place - Aston - Alonso has to carry the weight of himself and the rookie.
8th place - Alpine - Gasly has to carry the rookie.
9th place - Haas - Ocon has to carry the rookie in a new car.
10th place - Kick - Just straight trash - They're just on a path to 2026.
1 - Nailed it, but not a daring choice. (-)
2 - Swing and a miss, I thought their car would be better and it looks like Charles has lost some form. (-2)
3 - Way too optimistic, I'll blame alcohol. (-2)
4 - RB brought a better car, but this is still a Max 3rd place. (+1)
5 - Did anyone see this coming? Kimi Antonelli is the real deal and when did Merc get this pace? (+3)
6 - I couldn't predict the day after Wed. on a calendar. They promoted Yuki? Really? (-2)
7 - Shit! I got another right?! Lance Stroll leads the team? Mother fu... (-)
8 - Right reasoning, wrong place. (-1)
9 - Another good rookie. I'm an idiot. (+3)
10 - What a daring choice. (-)
3 out of 10. I'm stupid.
