I don't think Max can top his 2023 season but I do expect him to win the championship in 2024. Red Bull should also repeat as the Constructors Champions although it will be a bit closer this year.
I hope to see Lando finally get the monkey off of his back and win a few races.
In retrospect, I got most of this right. 🤷♂️
Two outta three ain't bad, as they say!
I'm keen for next year, I genuinely don't know have a clue how it's going to shake out, which is weird in F1. McLaren and Ferrari both have a good shot at being fastest, but both tend to make mistakes. Red Bull have been more consistent, but they seem to be on a downward trajectory with car performance. Mercedes I expect to improve, but possibly not at the pace needed to be in the mix with the front runners over the season.
My prediction is it's a fight between Lando and Charles. Charles is the better driver, but Ferrari will cost him points with strategy errors. I expect Lewis will initially be the second driver with Oscar, but hopefully get closer to the front as he gets used to the new team and car over the course of the season. Max and George likely to take race wins, but won't have the car behind them to challenge the championship over the course of the season. Max will get desperate to make up for the car and go full Mad Max mode and cause some contentious incidents and examining of the rules. Lawson will disappoint, Antonelli I honestly know nothing about.
Alternatively, Newey delivers another god tier car for Aston, Alonso hits the age barrier and declines in performance, Stroll 25, Stroll 26, Stroll 27... 😜
Had a good laugh on this one - not this crash but the top comment...

Not sure if that link will work - trying inserting media but no matter what I tried it didn't work. But here is the top comment:
It appears Perez is definitely GONE, Lawson to take his seat.
If it wasn't for Max, Carlos would have been the #2 driver and well positioned to take back the constructors championship. We'll see what happens next, but this is the result of his insecurities.
I’d like to think that Max was wrong about the pro British press and then I read this irritating headline. It’s not Lewis Hamilton’s car, it’s Ferrari’s car. And what about Charles?
This is from ESPN.
Get used to it because it's all going to be about Hamilton for at least the first half of the season. Everything that happens, good, bad or immaterial will center around him.
I'm already sick of hearing about him and the season doesn't start till sometime next year!
