Some big questions to answer this race.
Is Aston Martin legit? If they can fight Ferrari and Merc on this track then they have truly advanced to the front of the grid. Can Ferrari's new aero revisions to gain efficiency (reduce drag) show that they are capable of fighting Red Bull? I actually predict that Ferrari will rise and Aston will fall a bit in this race. My prediction for this podium is: 1. LEC 2. VER 3. PER |

I don't know, I can't see Ferrari bouncing back that quick, there was nothing wrong with Sainz's car and Chas is probably on grid drop with a third new ES.
I'll go 1. Max 2.Checo 3. Fernando. |

RB got this.
It will be interesting to see how Mercedes, Ferrari, and AM sort out among each other.

Given that they aren't hampered by tire deg at Jeddah or reliability issues, I think they have a chance. |

I've been reading tester Marc Gene's account of what went wrong with Leclerc's car and he now puts it down to the batteries that were changed (what hasn't) which was caused by a fault in the actual metal combustion engine, confused? So am I.

Very bad news in is that FIA President Ben Sulayem's son has been killed in a car collision, there are no more details of what happened at this time.

My prediction:
1. VER 2. LEC 3. PER 4. ALO 5. SAI 6. RUS 7. STR 8. HAM 9. HULK 10. BOT It will be interesting to see what Ferrari can do on this fast circuit, as they had very good top speed in Bahrain. However RB had better cornering, so they can still dial back the downforce. And the big question...how good is AMR here?

Last year Ferrari sure proved the opposite.
First rule of winning races: don't f#ck up It's the car, having a very good driver and don't make mistakes the competition also doesn't make.

Definitely a scapegoat situation
Ferrari should accept no one outsmarts Adrian Newey. Especially a bunch of nudnik spaghetti eaters. Be like Aston Martin, copy Red Bull aerodynamics to the best of your abilities. Shouldn't be hard with all the show and tell that happens now. |

Newey is the GOAT, what a mind.
I'm just praying this is a safe race and everyone gets out OK, this track is stupid dangerous. |
