As I said, I expect Vettel to have the upper hand next year. However I realise there is a chance that this might not be the case. I can accept that and that I cannot be certain. As I don’t have all the information to be dogmatic and definitive about it I am not.
It isn’t lazy, or a cop out, it is rationale.
I have given my expectation and I have given context of how confident I am. It is more difficult to do this, hence why most people are too lazy, or incapable, to make judgements in this manner.

That makes sense. But people usually use 'I wouldn't be surprised if' to indicate that the thing they wouldn't be surprised about is the thing they're expecting. Just saying!
