My prediction:
1. LEC 2. SAI 3. VER 4. PER 5. RUS This circuit is basically sector 1 from saudi arabia but then 3 times (even with the track being made faster I think...) Of course RB and Ferrari had the cars set up differently, but LEC managed to gain 0,5 / 0,6 sec in sector 1 every time, so that could be 1,5sec per lap....potentially... Obviously RB will run more downforce here etc etc, but 1,5sec each lap is a lot to overcome... It's going to be interesting to see for sure how RB is going to perform. Also what their tire wear will be. I'm also eager to see what SAI can do. He managed to close the difference between him and LEC a bit. Imho he has to grow in a season, but I think he can eventually be faster than LEC. But maybe now not yet

I do think this will be a strong Ferrari track as of right now. Not confident that Sainz can take on Max but pleasantly surprised with Checo's quali lap and his race pace in Jeddah before that screw up. Would be nice to see checo on the podium! |

I think that was more bad luck than a screw up.
I'm the first to say that RB is tactically the strongest team, but even their tactical analysts can't predict if (rather...when ) Latifi is going to hit the wall

Wrong tyre choice (and consequently like driving on ice) and missing a pit window is not something you can afford if you want to be a serious contender for race win. Even with a good car. And I think that is by far merc's weakest point. I still think they will get that car sorted (to me it's more a question of when than if, even with this year's severely strong rules about budget caps, test/windtunnel time, engine freeze etc), but they make (and have made) such stupid mistakes that have cost them the win or points multiple times (I'm also talking about previous years). They just don't really seem to learn from them. (ok, Russel hasn't made real mistakes yet I think)

I know - I'm getting used to F1 every weekend.
Is it Australia that they're putting the new floor in? I read that Imola was the big upgrade for them. |

Looks like the RB18 is going on a diet but expected at Imola. |

A 6 way battle will be insane to watch. Hope this is the case.
