Will Buxton’s post testing standings:

1. Redbull
2. Ferrari
3. AM
4. Merc
5. Alpine
6. Alfa Romeo
7. Haas
8. Alpha tauri
9. Williams
10. Mclaren (yikes)

Anyone interested in doing some sort of competition with this? Everyone throw out their top 10 plus maybe their top 10 drivers and I will keep track.

Figure award points 10-1 for only correct positions.

I personally think the poimts race will be closer than last year and what most think. RB is at top but will have a 2 pronged attack chasing them. I look at it like 2 against 4. Back when Merc was winning the next 2 teams were not as good as Merc/Ferrari are now. RB had a dream year last year but it doesn’t take much bad luck to change things. I just think its going to be closer than most are saying

I'm down. I'll put together my list in a bit. Total WAG on my part.

Same. Saw someone post this

Can see how we do against the talking heads

I think Max is most likely to win the drivers but I'm not so sure on RB winning constructors. Perez isn't much of a driver. Frankly, I won't be surprised if Ric ends up in the seat at some point this year.

No way. Perez sells merch and brand. Huge worldwide fan following. Meaning they’ll keep him around because Ver is their driver and he doesn’t much interfere.

I just think Ferrari does much better this year it would be almost impossible to do worse based on such great car. Merc is always improving so I see them doimg better.

WCC:
1) Red Bull
2) Ferrari
3) Merc (still think they get it together)
4) Aston Martin (they still have Lance, car or no car)
5) Alpine (Solid drivers. Decent car.)
6) Haas (Debated putting them 5th, you know, they're still Haas)
7) Alfa Romeo (only so much you can do with that team)
8) Mclaren (Between the car and Piastri, they don't do much)
9) Alpha Tauri (With recent stories, I bet they're even more of a red-headed step child to RB)
10) Williams (man, I hope I’m wrong).

WDC:
1) Max
2) Leclerc
3) Sainz
4) Checo
5) Russell
6) Hamilton
7) Alonso
8) Gasly
9) K-Mag
10) Ocon
11) Hulk
12) Bottas
13) Stroll
14) Lando
15) Zhou
16) Albon
17) De Vries
18) Yuki
19) Piastri
20) Sargeant
