For all the hardcore F1 fanatics here, here's a chance to go on the record, with your bold predictions of how you see 2025 playing out. There's still a lot of questions floating around drivers such as Colapinto, Perez, and Sainz. Sainz apparently has a clause in this contract that allows him to walk away should he get a call from a better placed team, but Redbull clearly overlooked him when they easily could have snapped him up, but that was before Perez started to plumb new depths of ineptitude. Has the situation changed enough since then, to merit new talks with Sainz? Or will Redbull sack Perez and opt for Colapinto instead? Here are my predictions

1. Colapinto for Redbull, for 2025. Takes P3 in the championship.
2. Lando Norris implodes due to greatly increased pressure from Piastri; Piastri finishes the season in the top 3 of the drivers championship, comfortably outscoring Lando.
3. Redbull bounce back and win both championships.
4. Leclerc outperforms Lewis convincingly and consistently, both in qualifying and races. Fights with Piastri for P2 in the championship which can go either way. Lewis calls time on his career for 2026.
5. Kimi Antonelli and Russell will be quite close to each other in points and I tip Kimi to outperform and take the lead by the end of the season.
