Hmm it is a bit early but are everyone's thoughts on the top 5 for the WDC in 2025 if the cars are relatively equal?
Mine would be
Ver Speaks for himself as he is currently the best driver on the grid hands down.
Lec I have him as the current second best driver.
Norris/Russel These 2 are hard to split as i think Norris is slightly faster but doesn't have the mentality, while Gorge makes more mistakes but has the mentality.
Oscar/Hamilton Oscar has the talent but i need to see more consistency and as for Hamilton i think his qualifying will hurt his chances even though he can still be very quick under race conditions.
Yes i know that is 6 drivers but meh

Pretty much as you have it here, with Russell ahead of Norris.
Hamilton though is the big unknown. Could realistically be anywhere from 2nd to 6th on that list.
What will be interesting as well is the battle between Kimi Antonelli and whoever is in the second Red Bull seat.

Agreed if Hamilton can fix his qualifying problems could be at number 2.
As for the competition between the second Redbull seat and Kimi well that all depends on who gets the seat..
Yuki? i would place my bet on Yuki over the full season as Kimi will make to may mistakes
Lawson? 50/50
Colapinto? I would almost put my money on Kimi as Colo has shown he crashes to much

I didn't mention him on purpose as he shouldn't be in F1 anymore or ever again
I'll be interested to see where Alonso ends up, and whether Father Time has finally caught up to him.
Will Perez be there ?? Surely not. If not then it's Hadjar or Colapinto IMO. Lawson stays with RB and Yuki's head explodes.
I reckon Oscar at wins 4-5 races next year. Norris might too, but i think the wheel will turn.
George is already team leader of sorts at Merc, and i expect Antonelli to struggle big time early, they won't fight for the constructors.
Hopefully Alpine can keep the little bit of momentum they have currently going into next year and Jack has a decent car to pinch some points.
And how will Sainz fair down the other end of the grid ?? Or is there a late Red Bull twist to play out ??
Max still the favourite for mine but if Ferrari can have a full year Charles will push him. And what of Lewis..... he hasn't had a teammate as blindingly quick every week arguably since Alonso. Rosberg was quick and VERY combative but that was 8 years ago and we've seen Lewis' best. He'll win the odd race IMO, but as mentioned qualifying will be a problem against LeClerc

Colapinto would be MUCH quicker early, Kimi hasn't had the best year in F2.
Hamilton won't beat Charles over the year, you can bookmark that.
Roll up! Roll up!
