Summer break predictions · 7:56am Aug 11th, 2022
Formula 1 is on their summer break. My thoughts, predictions, and vain hopes for the remaining nine races of the season:
Real predictions:
- LeClerc finishes P3 in the driver's championship, down from his current P2. Checo or Russell will pass him.
- Mercedes will finish P2 in the constructor's standings, and Enzo Ferrari will cry up in heaven with Ferrari in P3.
- Hamilton will win one race, LeClerc two more, and Max the other six, taking the record for "most wins in a single season."
- I'm not going to predict "Max world champion," because that's the equivalent of predicting "the sun will rise in the east tomorrow."
Things that are less likely but entirely possible:
- Russell wins a race.
- Mick Schumacher scores some more points and doesn't lose his seat next year.
- Zhou Guanyu gets points several more times and doesn't lose his seat next year.
- Lando gets another podium.
- Checo gets back on form and finishes P2 in the drivers' championship.
- Checo is the first Mexican to ever win the Mexico Grand Prix.
Impossible things I would love to see:
- Lando wins a race.
- Ricciardo wins a race.
- Tsunoda wins a race.
- Hass P5 or better.
What are your predictions?
Given that Mattia claims everything is fine and nothing has to be changed, I can believe in every weird thing happening to Ferrari...
