Australian Grand Prix

Also running: Gent-Wevelgem in Flanders Fields 2018

How it works

Predicting the winner would be much too easy in a field of twenty where only six drivers (if that) will likely contest most wins. To make things more interesting you will have to predict the top three finishers in the correct order and do so before the start of the qualifying session on Saturday.

Race Preview

The first race of the season; everyone starts fresh and no one really knows what the teams are capable of. The 'winter' tests ended just last week but most teams have been playing hide and seek so we don't really know what they are capable of. Most 'experts' seem to agree that Mercedes is still the strongest but it's very unclear how Ferrari and Red Bull are really doing. Reliability will be the key word this season.

The top three finishers will likely be found here:

Both at Mercedes and Ferrari they have one driver that is cleary better than the other; at Red Bull things seem to be a bit closer between the drivers, could make things interesting. But in the end having a good car is the most important thing so we might be getting Mercedes one-two finishes...

I only know Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel from watching F1 with my dad.
Can't say more about the rest.

I miss the days where Michael Schumacher (spelling, idk) was in his prime.

Funnily enough, you got Michael's (#KeepFightingMichael) name right, but completely botched Sebastian Vettel's. :P

I hate the fact that most races are either too early or too late for me to watch and I end up missing the majority of them :/
Will try to follow more closely this year and I wish to see a more competitive one than last year.

I'll go with:

  1. Vettel
  2. Hamilton
  3. Ricciardo

Wanna see Ricciardo do well this year. You just cannot not love this guy. His attitude in race and outside is amazing and so are his overtakes! Let's wish for an amazing race :D

We'll see if I'll be bored in 2018 ... but I am hoping for the new Formula 1 Streaming Service to leave this shitty TV program here ...

It's so hard to predict, with pre-season testing having been quite different each session. Hard to argue Mercedes won't be just as strong again, until we see otherwise. Would love for Ricciardo to podium in his home Grand Prix, and the McLaren's return to form.

This is just guessing since we have yet to see how strong the cars are

1 Vettel
2 Bottas
3 Magnussen (Not likely at all, but one can always hope to see a fellow Dane on the podium)

Just hope that Ferrari and Red Bull can challenge Mercedes a bit more this year....

Surprised to see some folk putting McLaren in top 3, seems a tad unrealistic.

Wishful thinking, in hindsight, but because I have a knack of never getting it perfectly right I figured why not. ;)

Going for it, since it's a bit of a blind round anyway, with rain potentially involved to make things even more interesting :)
Enjoy the race everyone!
