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.


Team:
1. Red Bull. Ugh
2. Ferrari
3. Mercedes
4. Alpine
5. McLaren
6. Aston Martin
7. Alpha Romeo
8. Haas
9. Alpha Tauri
10. Williams. Sigh

Not going out on a limb much there but I think the 6-9 spots are the ones that will shuffle around.

Driver:
1. Verstappen
2. LeClerc
3. Hamilton
4. Perez
5. Sainz
6. Russell
7. Ocon
8. Norris
9. Gasly
10. Alonso
11. Bottas
12. Piastri
13. Stroll
14. Magnusson
15. Guanyu
16. Tsunoda
17. Hulkenberg
18. Albon
19. de Vries
20. Sargeant

McLaren has so many sponsors they had to install that kindle tech that alternates the logos. But they can’t build a car worth shite.

Monaco used to be Thursday as well, with a Friday 'quiet' day, but that changed a couple years ago.

Damn, was hoping for another team.

Alpha tauri isn't really competing for wins...would be nice to see another team that isn't directly a "b" team.

Would really like to see someone else as owner if the teams are standing together and not letting other teams in.

They are diluting the product by ensuring that one team can never be competition.

I read the Ross Brawn book, "Total Competition," recently. Hw touches on teams rarely acting in the best interests of the sport. The whole Andretti saga is an example of that.

On the subject of the book as a whole, I highly recommend it, especially for business-minded people.

I expect Red Bull to still be the class of the grid, but if Ferrari solved their reliability issues they should easily be 2nd and compete for some wins. Hoping to see some great racing between Max/Charles and Checo/Carlos/Lewis/George at the top, to go with the always entertaining midfield.

Nice.

Looks like I'm lower on Haas than everyone but I will be happy if I'm wrong on that one. A little higher on Alfa Romero than most but I think they'll just be consistent, nothing exciting.

Is anybody else buying in to the Aston Martin hype? The Brit podcasters are all in. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I don't believe the hype. You have one of the all time greats driving practice sessions to set those hype times.

Doesn't have to be a legal car nor legal laps to get those times.

I think Aston can get there. But that would be a huge jump in 3 months of development.

I'd love for Williams to be that good this year, but I get the feeling Dorilton really doesn't give a shite about it other than flipping it.
