Have a feeling for Verstappen to win the WDC this season. Tracks from Austria onwards on a normal season suit Red Bull, granted they usually start the season slowly but they seemed pretty quick in testing. Considering Red Bull make a habit of winning races that aren't so straight forward and that describes what this season looks set to be..

Theres no way lewis doesnt win it lets not pretend 

It's by no means certain in such a topsy turvy year. We haven't had a single car run in anger yet since testing, and who knows how the extended break will affect drivers. Plus a shortened season means more pressure on each race and higher likelihood of an upset overall. 

 

Over a full season I'd definitely agree with you but not this year.

You're forgetting about DAS which seems unlikely to be deemed illegal, a shortened season means it's less likely teams will be able to replicate it which will have a huge advantage on the rest of the field

He's got a good chance. 2 races in Austria and 1 in Budapest.

I was forgetting about DAS. But then again I don't think it's going to be double-diffuser levels of advantage. I think the other teams will still be competitive. Plus we don't know if it definitely will be a big advantage until we see them all qualifying and racing.

Also reliability to factor in as well, red bull usually have a few retirements, less ground to make up. The romantic in me wants to see vettel win it as he ****s off, but Hamilton will probably win it and be the last one he wins and everyone will say his 7th has an asterix by it

New 'black' Mercedes

Gorgeous. Bought a fanatec wheel set, playing F1 2019 and waiting for F1 2020 to come out. Hope they'll include this livery.

So far, seems what we expected after testing, the Mercedes looks even farther ahead of everyone else this season. 

We'll know more for certain after the next session, to see just how far ahead they really are...

 

(Hope my connection can cope with both F1 and Footy at the same time, given the timing...)
