1. Max will repeat as world champion
2. Championship will primarily be a battle between Carlos and Max
3. Ferrari will win the constructors championship
4. Mercedes will struggle to make their car work and will not have the consistency to win either the driver or constructor championship
5. George will NOT win a race this season (I really hope I am wrong here)
6. Williams will score a point within the first four races
7. Mick will score his first F1 points this season
8. Kevin will finish the Haas inside the top ten at least once
9. Lando will outscore Daniel again
10. Yuki will be the new Kimi
11. I will continue to question if I am spelling “porpoising” correctly each time I type it no matter how many times I type that word this season.

Richard

1. Yes
2. No
3. No (lol)
4. Yes
5. No
6. Yes (3rd race)
7. Yes
8. Yes
9. Yes
10. Others can judge
11. Always!

For my core 10, that was 6/10! Probably the best I have done in recent years. I didn't pick all obvious predictions, but they were also not extreme bets either.

Nope.

2. Hamilton will win more races than Verstappen

Nope. How wrong can you be!

3. Sainz will substantially outscore Leclerc, including at least one win.

Nope. Carlos really disappointed me this season.

4. Norris will score at least one GP win.

Nope. I still hope his time will come. Huge talent wasted at the moment.

5. Ricciardo will be substantially outscored by Norris and will leave McLaren by (or at) the end of the season.

Yep.

6. Russell will score at least 6 pole positions and will win at least 3 GPs.

Nope.

7. Alonso will podium twice.

Nope.

8. Mercedes will win the WCC again.

Nope.

9. Horner will lodge at least two protests against Mercedes.

I don't know, did he? Probably, I guess.

10. Verstappen will be disqualified from a GP.

Nope.

I forgot I'd done this..... (I probably shouldn't have bothered!)

8. Latifi will finish ahead of Albon in WDC.
9. All teams will finish in the points.
10. It will be confirmed during the season that Andretti will join the F1 grid in 2024.
Bonus:
11. It will be announced during the last race weekend that Hamilton will retire, and his replacement will be Gasly.

1. No
2. Yes
3.Yes
4. Lolz no
5. Yes
6. No
7. Yes
8. No
9. Yes
10. No
Bonus
11. No. One of the big-name world champions retired and was replaced by someone that was themselves replaced by Gasly ... so half a point?


I'll be generous and give myself the half point - 5.5 out of 11 - 50%

Absolutely not! You have a point deducted for suggesting that Hamilton would be replaced by Gasly!! You need to lay off the wacky baccy before you do your predictions for 2023!
