Random 2026 Predictions

[WardenOfTheNorth]

I think we'll see a race with a crash so bad it leaves a driver out for at least one race, due to the low downforce mode

While I hope you're wrong, I too have this concern.

Ok lets make a prediction. Max will dominate from start to finish and win his fifth title.

A Mclaren 1/2 in Australia

very creative and random I like this idea, truly a once in a lifetime hot take.

[franbatista123]

Less than 14 classified finishers in Australia.

I agree with this one. When they all start pushing for performance in Australia i expect the true reliability concerns to start coming out.

Indeed.

- Antonelli will get the most number of poles
- Ferrari's launches will bag them wins i.e. qualify second row or lower, win the start and stay there
- Alonso will continue racing into 2027
- Hot lap followed by two cool laps and a further hot lap will become a regular thing in qualifying
- Hamilton will win a race but be soundly beaten by Leclerc across the season

Stroll will win the last race of the season.

Monaco will be won by a Ferrari engined car starting from the 2nd or 3rd row.

There will be more overtaking and better racing.

There will be twice as many penalties for pushing people off track or blocking.

Screw it, why not...

1. Newey and the Strolls fall out
2. Audi capture a big name to replace Hulk for '27. Possibly Sainz, because...
3. Williams finish 9th in the WCC
4. Lewis does relatively better than last year, but its still clearly outpaced by Charles and retires
5. Merc bust up when Kimi gets in front of George and either won't move / the team doesn't ask him to
6. Bearman confirmed as Lewis' replacement
7. Aston's struggles open the door for Tsunoda to replace a retiring Alonso
8. Hadjar does well enough to keep his gig
9. No other movement among the top teams for 2027

[DDopey]

Unstoppable battery fire results in a race being permantly red-flagged.

Has the steward's guide changed? Or was it expected to?

Drivers will skip harvesting, overtake and the defend too hard.

[Jambier]

ALONSO will win a race
