    Verstappen will cruise. Hulk will drop down the field. McLaren will outperform Mercedes. Ferrari will Ferrari. Tsunoda will beat Ricciardo.

    Thought Mercedes would be higher up after those upgrades, maybe Louis is just jaded or something. Verstappen vs. Ferrari is going to be interesting this season I think. Albon takes 7th.

      Lewis? According to interviews they optimized for racing instead of qualification (and they said something along the lines of “maybe we pushed it a bit too far but we won’t be sure until after the race”).

      Looking forward to Lewis making up some places :-)

        Dah! Yeah Lewis… I should know that he’s my favorite driver and I’ve even got a t-shirt with his name on it lol. That’s good he’s got a better setup then, looking forward to the race.

    Not a prediction per se but going off George’s estimate of Red Bull having half a second per lap advantage in race pace, do you take the over or under?

    Clutching straws probably but Perez with a touch of gearbox issues, could we see a slow RB start tomorrow?
