De Vries trouncing Tsunoda

That seems very possible.

7808980
I suspect Max won't get a warm welcome in Mexico. Also, sprint race in Azerbaijan will end in a shitshow, with a very unexpected winner after a massive crash.

Revised predictions:

• Fernando gets millions of new fans
• Stroll has best showing of his career so far
• If Aston Martin -- which is basically mechanically a Mercedes in a Red Bull wrapper -- embarrasses Merc a few more times, Lewis will retire, Daimler board will sack Wolff, and then hire Lewis as team principal. (What? Lewis would be a good team principal. He's a people person.)
