Lawson is a wildcard. The RedBull won't be hard for him to drive because he's been the reserve and test driver for years, putting in feedback for the RB's development. Liam is pretty tenacious, so he may perform above expectations.
@@Thu1111 I agree he's adaptable, but I don't think his pace in the perfect car is at an elite level. For me he's a competent midfield driver, who deserves to be in F1 but not in a frontrunning car. I think he'll be 7th in the WDC, not close to the top 6 and having a good battle with Antonelli- who he'll beat due to experience and RB's better car performance.
I'm glad to finally see some love for Yuki Tsunoda! I actually agree that Leclerc will be the champion this year and I am happy with that. Fantastic video!!!
I think people keep skewing Adrian's influence because we're used to him being the Head of Aero Development. But, at Aston, he's the Head Managing Partner over all the car's development. While the focus of most teams will be on the 2026 car, I think we will see a trickledown result on the AMR25 through minor midseason upgrades. Definitely nothing major, though.
This may be a hot take, but 2025 Charles has to beat Lewis. If he can't be a 40 year old guy who just joined the team he's been at for the majority of his F1 career, a lot of people are gonna look at him differently. 2026, with the regulation change, this may be his last chance to win a wdc. If Lewis wins the Championship this year i will tattoo his fucking name on my neck. Seems like he's already trying to test the limits of the old ferrari's in pre pre season testing.
Ferrari will be the best car this year, beating lewis won't be tough for chuck. You should better put lewis' name on your schlong if he even comes close to beating chuck
He already beat a Sebastian Vettel who had been at ferrari for 4 years before, and demolished him in 2021. And this was a supposed 4 time world champion and formidable. He has proved what he needs to. Whether or not he beats Hamilton won’t change his legacy
so we´re gonna see Ferrari vs Mclaren for constructors, and VER vs LEC again for drivers, and potentially Haas being only 1 position away from being classed as a top team... interesting
I pretty much agree on the whole order, i just don't see Antonelli outscoring Lawson. Lawson has more race starts, participated in the car's development and the Red Bull was still slightly better than the Mercedes.
I think the "it's worse than you think" was one of the first episodes of yours I saw. I think people are overestimating Lewis and underestimating Lawson. I hope you are right about Charles! lets Go! 👊🏻
I think it'll be similar to Norris&Piastri. George will be consistently better, but there will be signs that when they both hit there prime they will be even. Remember Antonelli didn't race in F3, so he is so much less experienced than a normal rookie. George also had an elite junior carrer and had been excellent in F1, for me George is the 4th best driver on the grid and WDC caliber one year
WE GETTING THE BIGGEST WDC STREAK IN HISTORY WITH THIS ONEEE (Schumi got 5 in a row at his peak, Hamilton got 4 in a row in his prime, Max is now gonna equal Schumi´s record)
21st doohan 20th bortoleto 19th hulkenberg 18th hadjar 17th colapinto 16th tsunoda 15th bearman 14th stroll 13th Albon 12th ocon 11th sainz 10th Alonso 9th Gasly 8th antoelli 7th Lawson 6th Russell 5th Hamilton 4th verstappen 3rd Piastri I can’t decide the champion but I think Leclerc vs Norris will be the championship battle
Wrong Things: Verstappen will never finish the top 3, why does everyone forgets that Adrian Newey left Red Bull? It gotta be 5th Ocon will possibly be matched with Bearman (11th-13th) It’s “Gabriel” not “Gabriele” You should only do 20 drivers as Colapinto isn’t confirmed yet (Possibly Monza 2025 or Hungary)
Colapinto is confirmed though, a team would never pay 20m buyout + 5m salary for having him only do PR; He will definitly race on at least 15 tracks, most likely 19 or so given Doohan contract (and wtv his performance might be, they will find excuses)
Bruh, redbull weren't sitting idle when newey was moving, this decision was probably known to them a long ago. They have to make the fastest car to convince max to stay
yeah, Piastri doesnt have as much Pace as either Leclerc or Hamilton, and while Norris can kinda compete with both in pace, Oscar is lagging behind quite a lot Mclaren are starting with a faster car tho, but ferrari aint far behind and they had the fastest car a few weekends in 2024
the standings imo r gonna be like this: 1 leclerc 2 norris 3 verstappen 4 piastri 5 russel 6 hamilton 7 lawson 8 gasly 9 antonelli 10 alonso 11 sainz 12 ocon 13 tsunoda 14 albon 15 bearman 16 colapinto 17 stroll 18 hulkenberg 19 hadjar 20 bortoleto 21 doohan constructors: 1 mclaren 2 ferrari 3 redbull 4 mercedes 5 alpine 6 haas 7 aston martin 8 williams 9 rb 10 sauber i think that its going to be really close between aston martin and williams, as well as between haas and alpine
Call me crazy, but I’m saying it’s Max, Liam and Charles in some order in the top 3 at the end of the season. Liam is seriously underrated. I have faith in the Red Bull car being at least equal to the other 3. I can see George beating the McLaren duo too. Lewis will be a mile off and Oscar will be still a little behind Lando. Kimi will just be chilling in P8 most races I imagine.
Big Liam fan but lol, the RB has to be head, shoulders and torso above the rest in order for him to even chance at a top 3 finish. He'll do well though, and if the car is good he might even make the top 5 but he doesn't have anywhere near the experience required to get top 3 WDC.
I think this too, since for the last 3 seasons he wasn’t able to adapt his driving very well to the Merc. Aswell as his qualy pace really sucked this year. Perhaps the Ferrari is more to his liking, but I am 99% sure he isn’t beating Leclerc
I enjoy this video but I would like to point out sauber finished a season on a high getting into q3 multiple times and also even fighting for points in Qatar/vegas with Zhou and Bottas had a good opportunity in Abu Dhabi, I think that they’ll be in the mix next year at least by mid season consistently fighting with those bottom 6-5 cars
1) Ham (fuelled by championship winning car, consistency, race management, pressure resistance) 2) Verstappen (no need to explain… its verstappen) 3) Leclerc (will be super quick out the gate, will fall under the pressure of a championship fight and having the world expecting him to beat Lewis)
Why do you think Leclerc will fall under the pressure in a title fight?🤔 He went through it in 2022(however didn't have a proper title charge due to team mistakes and reliability), but has some experience already...🤷
@@karolgyore7082 Big difference to being in the game for the title and actually fighting at the buisness end of the year for the championship in the final few races Less pressure would be on Lewis as he already has won and lost championships and has 7 .Charles dream is that first championship with Ferrari and its like now or never as you never know your next chance
Haas was already fast in 2023 though, as can be seen from their qualifying results. They simply could never show that in the races because they ate through their tyres so quickly: a trait seemingly inherited from Ferrari in some respects (though Ferrari's tyre wear issues weren't as bad as Haas's of course). While it may be possible for Sauber to make a massive jump next year, in their case it's not as simple as one glaring issue needing to be fixed.
I agree for the most part; I am just not convinced about Haas, so I would put Pierre ahead of Esteban and Bearman one position lower. Franco is fine if he steps in mid-season.
I did actually post my predictions on twotter a month ago, and adjusted it with the colapinto news obviously so I'm gonna post it here P1: Leclerc P2: Verstappen P3: Norris P4: Hamilton P5: Piastri P6: Russell P7: Antonelli P8: Lawson P9: Alonso P10: Gasly P11: Ocon P12: Sainz P13: Tsunoda P14: Albon P15: Stroll P16: Bearman P17: Colapinto P18: Hadjar P19: Hulkenberg P20: Bortoleto P21: Doohan Interesting how our top 8 is the same lol, I might be a little bias to Ferrari as a Ferrari fan but i do have high hopes for this season, the rest is pretty different however, I wasn't too sure how it was gonna go as this is only gonna a be my second season watching F1, but I tried my best I also did make constructors predictions 1st: Ferrari 2nd: McLaren 3rd: Red Bull 4th: Mercedes 5th: Aston Martin 6th: Haas 7th: Williams 8th: Racing Bulls 9th: Alpine 10th: Sauber Pretty similar, I just have higher hopes in Aston Martin and lower hopes in Alpine Anyways, curious to see how this goes!
1. Lando Norris 2. Max Verstappen 3. Charles Leclerc 4. Oscar Piastri 5. Lewis Hamilton 6. George Russel 7. Liam Lawson 8. Kimi Antonelli 9. Fernanod Alonso 10. Pierre Gasly 11. Carlos Sainz 12. Esteban Ocon 13. Yuki Tsunoda 14. Alex Albon 15. Lance Stroll 16. Ollie Bearman 17. Isac Hadjar 18. Niko Hulkenberg 19. Gabriel Bortoletto 20. Franco Colapinto 21. Jack Doohan
Top 10 - # Lawson 8 (RB) - Ocon 9 (H) - Gasly 10 (A) Tp 10 Will all score 100 points or more. Closest season in sometime There may be no really big gap outside the top 10. Its that kind of year when some teams will develop and some won't or can't. The Catch 22 here has to be the performance of Alonso (AM) - Sainz (W) - Tsunoda (RB2) - Bearman (H) and even Lance Stroll (AM).... # 16 Albon (W) The Gap has to be above and below 8th place or potentially as low as 10th place . Eight Liam Lawson (RB) Seven Kimi Antonelli (M) Six George Russell (M) # Big Gap 6-7 Mercedes George Russell and Kimi Antonelli # Top 5 - Niall Bruce Five - Oscar Piastri (Mc) Four - Lewis Hamilton (F) Three - Lando Norris (Mc) Two - Max Verstappen (RB) One - Charles Leclerc (F) This early for me the Top 3 Trifecta has to be Lando Norris - Charles Leclerc - Lewis Hamilton For this to work RB has to fail for Max Verstappen and not necessarily Liam Lawson. Because there can be no chance of Max gaining points should Lawson be only one car ahead. McLaren may have orders while it is unlikely that Ferrari will have driver favouring orders. The top 6 box would be Verstappen - Piastri - Lawson and the top 3. Mercedes has not gone well. I do not have confidence in George Russell and Kimi Antonelli is unknown to me. To get P6 in 2025 the vulnerable drivers have to come from RB or Mc. Max Verstappen is unlikely to make mistakes but the car may not deliver this year. I do not think that Alpine - Aston Martin - Haas - Williams have the performance to compete for 6th place because Yuki Tsunoda (RB2) and Isaac Hadjar (RB2) will score point regularly.
got to 11, what do you think alpiine are cooking. not disputing gasly as a driver, but they basically focussed on one car post monaco. edit: you cant count brazil as a proper pointer. yeah theyve done well to pick up from being the heaviest, most underpowered car at the start. but then youve also got the last year with a renault engine, and all that that entails. if an alpine driver makes top 12 id be surprised edit edit(lol) : both ferrari drivers will be top 3. norris to complete that. no way with a free slate, up against multiple drivers max makes top 3 with that red bull. had ferrari not messed up the barcelona upgrades, sharl is in the mix, takes out cota, mexico and to an extent other races, where max is just making sure lando finishes behind him. mclaren and ferrari are fairly clear across most tracks. 4th and 5th is a toss up between max and oscar.
I agree with most of your predictions but not the top 3 order. I think Lando will win the championship, Charles second ( Ferrari make too many mistakes as a team to win), Max third. Of course lando won’t win if max drives him off the road every time he tries to get ahead. I hope that Lewis will get his Mojo back driving a Ferrari but agree with your prediction there. Roll on the new season!
21 - Doohan - gone after a few races, lucky to get any points 20 - Hadjar - worst driver, lower mid car, few points 19 - Bortoletto - shows promise, sauber not dead last but still bad 18 - Stroll - aston firmly in midfield and stroll is stroll 17 - Hulkenberg - solid as ever but car limited 16 - Tsunoda - high and low points with talent and car 15 - Colapinto - high and low performance, alpine is upper midfield 14 - Bearman - best rookie performance, car is consistently decent 13 - Albon - williams are a bit better and converge to upper mid, albon will be decent 12 - Ocon - will be very solid but he is not as good as the drivers above him, other cars will converge 11 - Alonso - will be solid, aston will have high and lows, but he personally may chill out a bit before 2026 10 - Sainz - will drag the williams as high as he can and will shine when certain tracks suit the williams 9 - Gasly - car will be consistently decent and he will be in his prime 8 - Antonelli - very inconsistent and crash prone but a few highlights, wont be far ahead of the ocon-gasly points bracket 7 - Lawson - slow but less erratic than antonelli, will get a handful more points than him 6 - Hamilton - big step in points, slow in quali, takes time adjusting to the car, top 4 cars quite so quali matters 5 - Piastri - has great peaks but will still have a bit too much inconsistency, team will eventually back norris 4 - Russell - entering his prime, will dominate antonelli and his quali abilities will help him a lot 3 - Norris - will improve but he doesnt have the fortitude to be champion, will be close tho 2 - Verstappen - will bring it down to the wire in a slower car 1- Leclerc - 2nd best driver on the grid by some margin to everyone behind, and will narrowly win the title constructors: 10 - RB - hadjar will be a let down and the car wont have the peaks it had in 2024 9 - Audi - car wont be as bad and strong drivers will help 8 - Aston - will be midfield the whole year and stroll a limitation 7 - Haas - will be really tight with Williams and Alpine 6 - Williams - their experienced driver lineup will carry them far vs other teams with rookies 5 - Alpine - Gasly will carry the team and colapinto will get just enough points to get them to p5 4 - Mercedes - inconsistently quick with car and antonelli 3 - Red Bull - inconsistently quick and Lawson slow 2 - Mclaren - will be extremely tight and could go either way 1 - Ferrari - i see them winning by less than 10 points and Hamilton vs Piastri being just as big for the teams as Leclerc vs Norris
Here is how I predict the championship (20th-1st, not including a potential Alpine driver swap, or potential points losses for swearing) 20. Gabriel Bortoleto 19. Nico Hulkenberg 18. Jack Doohan 17. Alexander Albon 16. Isack Hadjar 15. Carlos Sainz 14. Lance Stroll 13. Yuki Tsunoda 12. Oliver Bearman 11. Esteban Ocon 10. Fernando Alonso 9. Pierre Gasly 8. Liam Lawson 7. Kimi Antonelli 6. George Russell 5. Max Verstappen 4. Lando Norris 3. Oscar Piastri 2. Charles Leclerc Who have I picked as world champion? I have picked... 1. Lewis Hamilton So there we are, everyone roast me all you want about the predictions, that's fine. Oh and no, I've not copied some of your predictions for some drivers, I've just had similar feelings for some of the driver's performances this year. Congrats on 3k subs!
I mean, it’s not like everyone doesn’t know that top 3 is in reverse order… we know who’s taking home the championship next year, he’s announced it on his radio on December 8th… Charles had his chance n 2022 but he proved he’s not up to it…
If we see Bottas in the Merc this year that would make me incredibly happy, but also feel like Antonelli would have to have like the worst possible season to get us there. Toto loves him a lot.
I hope max gets it but if he doesn't I hope it's leclerc. Blessed ending of course is a 3rd for goatlonso. Any other endings apart from these 3 is a disappointment
These are my predictions for the 2025 Season: Drivers Championship: 1. Lando Norris 2. Charles Leclerc 3. Max Verstappen 4. Lewis Hamilton 5. Oscar Piastri 6. George Russell 7. Liam Lawson 8. Kimi Antonelli 9. Fernando Alonso 10. Pierre Gasly 11. Carlos Sainz 12. Esteban Ocon 13. Yuki Tsunoda 14. Alex Albon 15. Ollie Bearman 16. Lance Stroll 17. Nico Hulkenberg 18. Franco Colapinto 19. Isack Hadjar 20. Gabriel Bortoleto 21. Jack Doohan Constructors Championship: 1. Ferrari 2. McLaren 3. Red Bull 4. Mercedes 5. Aston Martin 6. Williams 7. Alpine 8. Haas 9. Racing Bulls 10. Sauber
bro come on gasly on 10th nahhhh bro he is at least gonna be 7th the too rookie kimi and lawson are gonna wave a bad start of the season so they wont have the chance to get more points then gasly and gasly gonna have a much better car to be a competitor in the top 10
Everyone is sleeping on RB. RB are going to come back and be dominant this season. Idk if they will win the constructors because of Lawson but I have Max winning the title again. I see Ferrari potentially going backwards to start the year because they have done so much change to their car they are saying.
P1: Max Verstappen P2: Oscar Piastri P3: George Russell P4: Lando Norris P5: Charles Leclerc P6: Andrea Kimi Antonelli P7: Liam Lawson P8: Lewis Hamilton P9: Yuki Tsunoda P10: Fernando Alonso P11: Olli Bearman P12: Pierre Gasly P13: Esteban Ocon P14: Isaac Hadjar P15: Carlos Sainz P16: Franco Colapinto P17: Alex Albon P18: Lance Stroll P19: Nico Hulkenberg P20: Gabriel Bortoletto P21: Jack Doohan
I think for Lewis Hamilton, either he adjusts quickly to the Ferrari or he adjusts slowly, either way he will adjust and will be able to drive that car well, he is by no means washed and will not struggle after adapting to the new car, people mention that he was “bad” the last 3 seasons which is untrue, in 2022, he drove well for the car he had, his confidence mustve been knocked after the defeat to Max in the way he lost, he also wouldve lost confidence in the car with how everything changed, how he went from championship contender to podium contender and also how he was struggling with the new ground effect era, but in 2023 he drove exceptionally well, so much so that he was the best driver in the entire year behind the Red Bulls, did you guys really forget about how he was he was like an inch from beating Checo for 2nd and it wouldve been the exact same top 2 from 2021, he destroyed a very off pace George Russell and was better than every other driver on the grid due to his consistency and for 2024, he gave up on Mercedes, he didnt care for that season since he was heading to Ferrari and was very unmotivated but now he is in a car he has been waiting for and is motivated in this car, either he comes very close behind Leclerc or he beats him, that is the talent and class of Lewis Hamilton, he will get his 8th title in that car and will get Ferrari their first title in over 10 years
Lewis hamilton is being over shadowed from his 2 previous seaons with merc, there was definttely sabotgae for him leaving the team, i cant wait until he shuts up all his doubters and becomes a 8th time world champion
Lawson is a wildcard. The RedBull won't be hard for him to drive because he's been the reserve and test driver for years, putting in feedback for the RB's development. Liam is pretty tenacious, so he may perform above expectations.
Plus, Liam is really addaptable
I hope he proves me wrong!
@@Thu1111 I agree he's adaptable, but I don't think his pace in the perfect car is at an elite level. For me he's a competent midfield driver, who deserves to be in F1 but not in a frontrunning car.

Yeah I agree it all depends on how good the RB21 is. If it is at or near the top things are different if it is the same as '24 life will be tough.
Last year he was underperformed...
Leclerc will be a champion 2025

Lewis will adapt quickly since this is his second Ferrari car

While the focus of most teams will be on the 2026 car, I think we will see a trickledown result on the AMR25 through minor midseason upgrades. Definitely nothing major, though.
Ocon in 9th place is a bold prediction since FIA always gives him a 5 second time penalty! ❤
only 52 days???? it feels more like 152 days tbh... the withdraws are hitting hard

Redbull is operating without Newey and rob marshall, they look to be swimming now but if they don't get ontop of their car they'll be drowning.
Trouble is we don’t know what the “new Ferrari “ will be like
Call me crazy, but I’m saying it’s Max, Liam and Charles in some order in the top 3 at the end of the season. Liam is seriously underrated. I have faith in the Red Bull car being at least equal to the other 3. I can see George beating the McLaren duo too. Lewis will be a mile off and Oscar will be still a little behind Lando. Kimi will just be chilling in P8 most races I imagine.
Big Liam fan but lol, the RB has to be head, shoulders and torso above the rest in order for him to even chance at a top 3 finish. He'll do well though, and if the car is good he might even make the top 5 but he doesn't have anywhere near the experience required to get top 3 WDC.
I respect your opinion
I respect your opinion but I am not thinkin Same I think Verstappen could have a hard time finishing top 5
I do believe Hamilton will struggle this season, adjusting to a new car and being so far of off his peak
well hes already crashed the ferrari so 🤷♂
I think this too, since for the last 3 seasons he wasn’t able to adapt his driving very well to the Merc. Aswell as his qualy pace really sucked this year. Perhaps the Ferrari is more to his liking, but I am 99% sure he isn’t beating Leclerc
@@jonasblomme1252 In 2023 he was excellent
My Top 3: 1. Lewis, 2. Verstappen, 3. Leclerc. Biggest surprise: Bortoleto and Oscar Piastri outperforming Lando Norris over the season.
Most accurate ranking so far (I'm at P10 now)
Great video like always, only thongbid change is ocon and gassy around, I rat them both equally but I think the alpine will be faster then the haas
Thanks man! You definitely could be right Pierre looked very strong towards the end of last year
Ferrari, McLaren and Merc team mates will take points of each other. At Red Bull that won't happen
I enjoy this video but I would like to point out sauber finished a season on a high getting into q3 multiple times and also even fighting for points in Qatar/vegas with Zhou and Bottas had a good opportunity in Abu Dhabi, I think that they’ll be in the mix next year at least by mid season consistently fighting with those bottom 6-5 cars
my Ferrari delusion has never been so high......
1) Ham (fuelled by championship winning car, consistency, race management, pressure resistance)
2) Verstappen (no need to explain… its verstappen)
3) Leclerc (will be super quick out the gate, will fall under the pressure of a championship fight and having the world expecting him to beat Lewis)
Why do you think Leclerc will fall under the pressure in a title fight?🤔
He went through it in 2022(however didn't have a proper title charge due to team mistakes and reliability), but has some experience already...🤷
@@karolgyore7082
Big difference to being in the game for the title and actually fighting at the buisness end of the year for the championship in the final few races
Less pressure would be on Lewis as he already has won and lost championships and has 7 .Charles dream is that first championship with Ferrari and its like now or never as you never know your next chance
@@danbruno5945 fairs
Writing off Sauber just as everyone wrote off Haas after their abysmal season & look what happened last season?
calm down dude, Sauber is still following the 🅱lan to get Audi more wind tunnel time so they get the WCC in 2027
Haas was already fast in 2023 though, as can be seen from their qualifying results. They simply could never show that in the races because they ate through their tyres so quickly: a trait seemingly inherited from Ferrari in some respects (though Ferrari's tyre wear issues weren't as bad as Haas's of course). While it may be possible for Sauber to make a massive jump next year, in their case it's not as simple as one glaring issue needing to be fixed.
Sauber is skipping this season i believe
Predicting max p21 due to all the cursing
Max finishes with -102947462927527252 points
He'll probably end it all
Your Ocon prediction is going to be majorly wrong.
I agree for the most part; I am just not convinced about Haas, so I would put Pierre ahead of Esteban and Bearman one position lower. Franco is fine if he steps in mid-season.
Ferrari is Ferrari. Doesn't matter who's the driver. (I hope I'm wrong, but if I start from lowest I can only get higher)
52 days??? It feels like a decade
I did actually post my predictions on twotter a month ago, and adjusted it with the colapinto news obviously so I'm gonna post it here
P1: Leclerc
P2: Verstappen
P3: Norris
P4: Hamilton
P5: Piastri
P6: Russell
P7: Antonelli
P8: Lawson
P9: Alonso
P10: Gasly
P11: Ocon
P12: Sainz
P13: Tsunoda
P14: Albon
P15: Stroll
P16: Bearman
P17: Colapinto
P18: Hadjar
P19: Hulkenberg
P20: Bortoleto
P21: Doohan
Interesting how our top 8 is the same lol, I might be a little bias to Ferrari as a Ferrari fan but i do have high hopes for this season, the rest is pretty different however, I wasn't too sure how it was gonna go as this is only gonna a be my second season watching F1, but I tried my best
I also did make constructors predictions
1st: Ferrari
2nd: McLaren
3rd: Red Bull
4th: Mercedes
5th: Aston Martin
6th: Haas
7th: Williams
8th: Racing Bulls
9th: Alpine
10th: Sauber
Pretty similar, I just have higher hopes in Aston Martin and lower hopes in Alpine
Anyways, curious to see how this goes!
1-George Russel (Delulu) (realistically 5th)
2-Charles lecler
3-Max Verstappen
4-Lando Norris
5-Lewis Hamilton
6-Oscar Piastri
7-Pierre Gasly
8-Liam Lawson
9-Kimi Antonelli
10-Yuki Tsunoda
11-Ollie Bearman
12-Esteban Ocon
13-Fernando Alonso
14-Franco Colopinto
15-Issack Hadjar
16-Nico Hulkenberg
17-Gabriel Bortoletto
18-Jack Doohan
19-Lance Stroll
20-Carlos Sainz
21-Alex Albon
22-Valteri Bottas
23-Felipe Drugovitxh
This is like CFracing’s list
1. Lando Norris
2. Max Verstappen
3. Charles Leclerc
4. Oscar Piastri
5. Lewis Hamilton
6. George Russel
7. Liam Lawson
8. Kimi Antonelli
9. Fernanod Alonso
10. Pierre Gasly
11. Carlos Sainz
12. Esteban Ocon
13. Yuki Tsunoda
14. Alex Albon
15. Lance Stroll
16. Ollie Bearman
17. Isac Hadjar
18. Niko Hulkenberg
19. Gabriel Bortoletto
20. Franco Colapinto
21. Jack Doohan
Verstappen P5 not P2, Newey left Red Bull
Top 10 - # Lawson 8 (RB) - Ocon 9 (H) - Gasly 10 (A)
Tp 10 Will all score 100 points or more. Closest season in sometime There may be no really big gap outside the top 10. Its that kind of year when some teams will develop and some won't or can't.
The Catch 22 here has to be the performance of Alonso (AM) - Sainz (W) - Tsunoda (RB2) - Bearman (H) and even Lance Stroll (AM).... # 16 Albon (W)
The Gap has to be above and below 8th place or potentially as low as 10th place .
Eight Liam Lawson (RB)
Seven Kimi Antonelli (M)
Six George Russell (M)
# Big Gap 6-7 Mercedes George Russell and Kimi Antonelli
# Top 5 - Niall Bruce
Five - Oscar Piastri (Mc)
Four - Lewis Hamilton (F)
Three - Lando Norris (Mc)
Two - Max Verstappen (RB)
One - Charles Leclerc (F)
This early for me the Top 3 Trifecta has to be Lando Norris - Charles Leclerc - Lewis Hamilton
For this to work RB has to fail for Max Verstappen and not necessarily Liam Lawson. Because there can be no chance of Max gaining points should Lawson be only one car ahead. McLaren may have orders while it is unlikely that Ferrari will have driver favouring orders.
The top 6 box would be Verstappen - Piastri - Lawson and the top 3.
Mercedes has not gone well. I do not have confidence in George Russell and Kimi Antonelli is unknown to me. To get P6 in 2025 the vulnerable drivers have to come from RB or Mc. Max Verstappen is unlikely to make mistakes but the car may not deliver this year. I do not think that Alpine - Aston Martin - Haas - Williams have the performance to compete for 6th place because Yuki Tsunoda (RB2) and Isaac Hadjar (RB2) will score point regularly.
got to 11, what do you think alpiine are cooking. not disputing gasly as a driver, but they basically focussed on one car post monaco.
edit: you cant count brazil as a proper pointer. yeah theyve done well to pick up from being the heaviest, most underpowered car at the start. but then youve also got the last year with a renault engine, and all that that entails. if an alpine driver makes top 12 id be surprised
edit edit(lol) : both ferrari drivers will be top 3. norris to complete that. no way with a free slate, up against multiple drivers max makes top 3 with that red bull.
had ferrari not messed up the barcelona upgrades, sharl is in the mix, takes out cota, mexico and to an extent other races, where max is just making sure lando finishes behind him. mclaren and ferrari are fairly clear across most tracks. 4th and 5th is a toss up between max and oscar.
I agree with most of your predictions but not the top 3 order. I think Lando will win the championship, Charles second ( Ferrari make too many mistakes as a team to win), Max third. Of course lando won’t win if max drives him off the road every time he tries to get ahead. I hope that Lewis will get his Mojo back driving a Ferrari but agree with your prediction there. Roll on the new season!
21 - Doohan - gone after a few races, lucky to get any points
20 - Hadjar - worst driver, lower mid car, few points
19 - Bortoletto - shows promise, sauber not dead last but still bad
18 - Stroll - aston firmly in midfield and stroll is stroll
17 - Hulkenberg - solid as ever but car limited
16 - Tsunoda - high and low points with talent and car
15 - Colapinto - high and low performance, alpine is upper midfield
14 - Bearman - best rookie performance, car is consistently decent
13 - Albon - williams are a bit better and converge to upper mid, albon will be decent
12 - Ocon - will be very solid but he is not as good as the drivers above him, other cars will converge
11 - Alonso - will be solid, aston will have high and lows, but he personally may chill out a bit before 2026
10 - Sainz - will drag the williams as high as he can and will shine when certain tracks suit the williams
9 - Gasly - car will be consistently decent and he will be in his prime
8 - Antonelli - very inconsistent and crash prone but a few highlights, wont be far ahead of the ocon-gasly points bracket
7 - Lawson - slow but less erratic than antonelli, will get a handful more points than him
6 - Hamilton - big step in points, slow in quali, takes time adjusting to the car, top 4 cars quite so quali matters
5 - Piastri - has great peaks but will still have a bit too much inconsistency, team will eventually back norris
4 - Russell - entering his prime, will dominate antonelli and his quali abilities will help him a lot
3 - Norris - will improve but he doesnt have the fortitude to be champion, will be close tho
2 - Verstappen - will bring it down to the wire in a slower car
1- Leclerc - 2nd best driver on the grid by some margin to everyone behind, and will narrowly win the title
constructors:
10 - RB - hadjar will be a let down and the car wont have the peaks it had in 2024
9 - Audi - car wont be as bad and strong drivers will help
8 - Aston - will be midfield the whole year and stroll a limitation
7 - Haas - will be really tight with Williams and Alpine
6 - Williams - their experienced driver lineup will carry them far vs other teams with rookies
5 - Alpine - Gasly will carry the team and colapinto will get just enough points to get them to p5
4 - Mercedes - inconsistently quick with car and antonelli
3 - Red Bull - inconsistently quick and Lawson slow
2 - Mclaren - will be extremely tight and could go either way
1 - Ferrari - i see them winning by less than 10 points and Hamilton vs Piastri being just as big for the teams as Leclerc vs Norris
hey it is your opinion but dont say worst driver and he did not even drive a full weekend
@mohamedmerdj-t3e its just a prediction bro
Verstappen will never finish the top 5
Bruh stop this redbull being a tractor gimmick, they were never a slower car
THIS YEAR IS OUR YEAR (IT REALLY IS PLS)
I think antonelli and lawson should switch, and hadjar and bortoleto, rest sounds plausible
Lawson will shock everyone mark my words
My top 5:
1- Norris
2- Leclerc
3- Verstappen
4- Piastri
5- Hamilton
Here is how I predict the championship (20th-1st, not including a potential Alpine driver swap, or potential points losses for swearing)
20. Gabriel Bortoleto
19. Nico Hulkenberg
18. Jack Doohan
17. Alexander Albon
16. Isack Hadjar
15. Carlos Sainz
14. Lance Stroll
13. Yuki Tsunoda
12. Oliver Bearman
11. Esteban Ocon
10. Fernando Alonso
9. Pierre Gasly
8. Liam Lawson
7. Kimi Antonelli
6. George Russell
5. Max Verstappen
4. Lando Norris
3. Oscar Piastri
2. Charles Leclerc
Who have I picked as world champion?
I have picked...
1. Lewis Hamilton
So there we are, everyone roast me all you want about the predictions, that's fine.
Oh and no, I've not copied some of your predictions for some drivers, I've just had similar feelings for some of the driver's performances this year. Congrats on 3k subs!
I mean, it’s not like everyone doesn’t know that top 3 is in reverse order… we know who’s taking home the championship next year, he’s announced it on his radio on December 8th… Charles had his chance n 2022 but he proved he’s not up to it…

Made this before watching the entire video hahaha
Verstappen will never finish in Top 3
So Lawson below Kimi and a 4 time WDC below leclerc. Thanks for telling me not to take you ever seriously 🙃
The world champion for 2025 name first letter will start with L
Lets come back to this comment end of the year 😂
Bet
I’m here for it
@@danbruno5945 So either Leclerc, Lando, Lewis, Lawson...

Stake
Ocon p5 is incredibly bold
If we see Bottas in the Merc this year that would make me incredibly happy, but also feel like Antonelli would have to have like the worst possible season to get us there. Toto loves him a lot.
Verstappen is bad because of the car
1.Hamilton

Im a alonso fan if anyone wonders.
leclerc wdc w
Me am not happy Carlos is not in top 10!
This season will be between Leclerc and Lando. Red Bull won’t be able to compete, even with Max’s superior driving skills.
Lewis P1 and nothing beats that
Lewis is gonna beat Charles. 1st Max 2th Lewis and 3th Lando. Gonna be a very small margin so, good season incomming guys.
Pierre Gasly is gonna finish 4th
You are definitely going to regret this predictions.
I hope max gets it but if he doesn't I hope it's leclerc. Blessed ending of course is a 3rd for goatlonso. Any other endings apart from these 3 is a disappointment
My top 8
Norris
Leclerc
Verstappen
Piastri
Russell
Hamilton
Lawson
Antonelli
Hahahahahaha
@ lemme guess you can tell what fan I am
MADMAX will win no more than 3 races!
Norris will take driver's championship; Carlos Sainz will replace Kimi at Mercedes after Spanish gp;
Bruh kimi is going nowhere and sainz will be probably stay at williams for rest of his career(even i dont want that)
These are my predictions for the 2025 Season:

8. Haas
9. Racing Bulls
10. Sauber
bro come on gasly on 10th nahhhh bro he is at least gonna be 7th the too rookie kimi and lawson are gonna wave a bad start of the season so they wont have the chance to get more points then gasly and gasly gonna have a much better car to be a competitor in the top 10
Go Ocon, I agree
one
Hamilton just made his first crash in a Ferrari!
In a 2023 Ferrari that Charles and Sainz crashed multiple times.2024 was more stable
Everyone is sleeping on RB. RB are going to come back and be dominant this season. Idk if they will win the constructors because of Lawson but I have Max winning the title again.
I see Ferrari potentially going backwards to start the year because they have done so much change to their car they are saying.
Everyone forgets Adrian Newey left Red Bull, and you now forgot, are you Max bias
@ no one forgets he left. You act like he’s the only one developing their car.
P1: Max Verstappen
P2: Oscar Piastri

Nobody knows that Adrian Newey left Red Bull, you are 100% Max bias
Verstappen will be lucky to win a race this season😂
Max will probably take it home but if you think he'll take it from oscar?
'Inserts utter woke nonsense meme'
That's the wild rank I have ever seen
P1 Max its verstappen not the car 😁
I can’t believe how criminally underrated Lewis has become
ocon p7
Mate ı respect you but your predictions are bad i think
I think for Lewis Hamilton, either he adjusts quickly to the Ferrari or he adjusts slowly, either way he will adjust and will be able to drive that car well, he is by no means washed and will not struggle after adapting to the new car, people mention that he was “bad” the last 3 seasons which is untrue, in 2022, he drove well for the car he had, his confidence mustve been knocked after the defeat to Max in the way he lost, he also wouldve lost confidence in the car with how everything changed, how he went from championship contender to podium contender and also how he was struggling with the new ground effect era, but in 2023 he drove exceptionally well, so much so that he was the best driver in the entire year behind the Red Bulls, did you guys really forget about how he was he was like an inch from beating Checo for 2nd and it wouldve been the exact same top 2 from 2021, he destroyed a very off pace George Russell and was better than every other driver on the grid due to his consistency and for 2024, he gave up on Mercedes, he didnt care for that season since he was heading to Ferrari and was very unmotivated but now he is in a car he has been waiting for and is motivated in this car, either he comes very close behind Leclerc or he beats him, that is the talent and class of Lewis Hamilton, he will get his 8th title in that car and will get Ferrari their first title in over 10 years
Hot take here:
10. Gasly
9. Alonso
8. Antonelli
7. Russel
6. Lawson
5. Piastri
4. Hamilton
3. Leclerc
2. Max
1. Norris
Antonelli will be dropped mid season and bottas will be hired once again imo
Verstappen will never finish the top 4
I hope ppl will one day understand that George Russel is not a championship capable driver
I see him as Jenson Button level
He may win 1 title but never seen as brilliant
He's a top notch driver but he has his odd days when he looks like a bum
He’s a Nico Rosberg level driver in my opinion
Lewis hamilton is being over shadowed from his 2 previous seaons with merc, there was definttely sabotgae for him leaving the team, i cant wait until he shuts up all his doubters and becomes a 8th time world champion
