1. McLaren will score a few podiums
2. Leclerc and Vettel will run each other off at the first corner somewhere
3. Ricciardo will become increasingly banzai as he grows frustrated with the Renault
4. The Haas boys will crash into each other
5. Most of the races will be good, but people will still complain and say F1 isn't what it once was.
I agree with points 2-4.2. Leclerc and Vettel will run each other off at the first corner somewhere
3. Ricciardo will become increasingly banzai as he grows frustrated with the Renault
4. The Haas boys will crash into each other
5. Most of the races will be good, but people will still complain and say F1 isn't what it once was.
Point 1: a few podiums!? That means they're gonna better the top half of the top three several times? That seems optimistic! However, it's your prediction so fair enough.
Point 5: I agree with your feelings in general about the old age whiners.. but I think it's not 'most people', it's just a noisy small %

Yep they would need 4 of the top 6 to have aan issue or a mixed up wet race in which case its anyones chance for a lucky podium.
Which honestly won't happen of course. The top 6 cars are capable of pulling a pitstop ahead of the midfield way before anyone would plan to pit. The gulf in pace is huge and in reality number 4 team is basically in a different race to number 3 team. Not even within sniffing distance unless circumstance plays it's part and they get very lucky.TheDeuce said:

At least we have 6 cars close ish for the lead track dependant and a mixed up midfield who fight tooth and nail for every position.

In between the current season (which has been great) and 2021 which is the shake-up year, the upcoming 2020 season hasn't been given too much attention. But it's the final year of evolution in the current era - it *should* be amazing.
As the title - predictions please
Brave predictions only, expect them to be referred to as 2020 unfolds
The entire world will be struck by a pandemic that will disrupt global supply chains, kill thousands of people and lead to a massive contraction in GDP. The world will essentially shut down in phases leading to the cancellation of the first half of the season. The first race will be in Austria as part of a double header with the Styrian GP. Also it will not be the final year of the current era. Teams, seeing financial pain even agreed to costs caps.As the title - predictions please

Cheers Happy to help.
You forgot to predict that in the opening GP George Russell in his Williams will spend about 20 laps battling Seb in his Ferrari!
