I wonder if Max will finally realise he cant just stick his elbows out and bully everyone to get his own way.
A bit early for 2025 predictions but the way things are going: Lewis going to cruise to WDC no 8 with 2014 levels of dominance while the young hotheads trip over each other all season long.
With the form being so topsy turvy this year (remember when Merc won 3 races in 4?) anything could happen. The only thing I hope to continue is the chaos at Red Bull, after 2021 and 2022 they richly deserve it. However Hamilton achieving Godhood at Ferrari would certainly be nice.
About the the only circs under which i'd want Ferrari to win... Right now i just want Horner and Verstappen to lose... how and who to is immaterial...
I'd much rather it was a nip-and-tuck affair all through the year between Hamilton and Verstappen, then at the final race of the season you have a red flag and an arbitrary change of rules to make Hamilton win. Just for the endless, boundless tears and moaning of RB.
I think next year will be a really close battle from the start. Lewis, Charles, lando, piastri, Russell and probably Max all in the mix for wins. Think the new regs limiting the dev time of the leading teams has really worked to help close the field up. Merc looking like 4th in the constructors will give them a development time advantage next year, but having a rookie could negate some of that with the lack of experience.
That or Max gets too cocky and bins it in the last few laps... i think i'd rather he lose due something that was visible from space as being a result of his own actions...
