![]() If one team turns up to Melbourne with an advantage, it would be unlikely that same advantage will exist come Abu Dhabi. The development race is going to be absolutely incredible this year given the new regulations on aerodynamics and on the power unit side of things. I think Bottas will push, but not edge Hamilton in his first season with the Silver Arrows, but there will hopefully be so many more levels to the championship than just the battle there. To start with, I think it will be safe to assume that what we won’t be having in 2017 is a repeat result of the 2016 championship. ![]() They will still be ahead of Sauber however, with an old PU they’ll be down on power and will be lucky to score points at all in 2017. Haas will struggle a lot compared to last season, they have two solid drivers and will score points, but not as many as in 2016, possibly not even double figures. Williams will have a good year, they’ve been running a lot of miles in testing and the young Canadian Stroll has a great future ahead, a podium or two may be on the cards for him. Bottas will win his first F1 race, though seeing as he’s in a Mercedes that’s not really a prediction, everyone knows it’s going to happen. McLaren are going to have a tough start to the season, testing has been hampered by engine problems and unless Honda sort them out it will be a repeat of 2015, though maybe not quite as bad. As for the eventual winner though, I’ll take a punt at Vettel. The Red Bull drivers I think will be around Bottas, strong, particularly at some circuits, but not quite strong enough to challenge for the title. Ferrari look fast but Raikkonen has been disappointing in recent years, because of that I think Mercedes will take the Constructors’ even if the Ferrari is quicker.ĭrivers’ Championship is a little tricky, Hamilton and Vettel will be fighting it out, with Bottas just behind. For the Constructors’ Championship, I’m sticking with Mercedes, throughout testing they’ve had solid reliability and two very strong drivers. With the rather large shake up in aerodynamics it’s going to be tricky to predict so early on, but we’ll try it anyway. It was actually a pretty good race for me,” he explained.Probably fair to say my predictions for 2016 were a little mixed… While I was the only one to correctly predict both championships (I also predicted back in 2012 that Nico Rosberg would win his first race that year and a championship later down the line), I also made a prediction about Renault that was nowhere near, it was bad, really bad… As it turns out, Carlos Sainz had anticipated before the start of the season that the race in Monaco would be his favourite of the year and he was proven right once again: “My favourite race will be going back to Monaco,” was what he had written on his card – “In 2020 we could not go, and it was by favourite race going back. ![]() ![]() He was the top-ranked driver who did not race for Mercedes or Red Bull, and can be proud of his accomplishments after making the brave switch to join Ferrari from McLaren. Carlos Sainz himself finished with a podium at the Yas Marina track, a P3 finish that allowed him to overtake team-mate Charles Leclerc and former racing partner Lando Norris in the drivers’ standings. I feel like I was reading the future.” – he said, in a video published by the Formula 1 official Youtube account.Ĭarlos Sainz was not able to score a race win in his first year for Scuderia Ferrari, but can be more than happy with a season, as the Italian side enjoyed a much better campaign than the previous one and eventually finished right behind Mercedes and Red Bull in the final constructors’ championship thanks to a great final part of the season. Six, eh? That’s a pretty bold prediction. Valtteri won one? I guess he did, one race. “Esteban and Daniel for sure, Max and Lewis, Checo for sure… I have five. “Did this happen?” he asked when reading it back. “Six different drivers will win a Grand Prix,” was the Spaniard’s prediction. The Spaniard decided to take a stab at how many racers would win a Grand Prix during the 2021 championship and was delighted to realise that he had nailed it. However, Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz made a very pretty bold prediction of his own which eventually turned out to be correct.
