    Max, around 370 points.

    Q2. Which driver will finish runner up?

    Lewis. I expect a much stronger Mercedes this year considering the team are confident they know the key issue with last years car. I know Russell got more points but I still expect Hamilton to provide the best challenge if he likes the car.

    Q1. Which driver will be crowned champion and how many points will they score?

    Max again, in and around the 370 mark. RB to dominate until the new regs in '26.

    Q2. Which driver will finish runner up?

    Ferrari with Leclerc to run them close but it's hard to have any real faith in them. I think the Mercs are a bit too far off the pace to properly challenge this year.

    Q3. Which driver will finish last in the championship?

    Albon. I think he'll be shown up this year. He's been blessed that his teammate was Latifi. It'll be a Williams car anyway.

    Q4: Will there be a championship showdown?

    No, Max will have it won by Vegas.

    Q5. Which team will finish first in constructors championship?

    Red Bull.

    Q6. Which team will finish last in the constructors championship?

    Williams.

    Q7. Will any teams change ownership?

    No.

    Q8. Which team will make the biggest leap in performance?

    Aston Martin/McLaren, although McLaren will be more so the fact that they'll actually have a second driver.

    Q9. Which team will be the biggest disappointment?

    Ferrari.

    Q10. Name the teams who will finish in the top four in the constructors championship?

    Big 3 plus McLaren.

    Q11. Will any drivers be sacked during the season? If so, name them.

    I don't think so, but Yuki needs to pull the finger out.

    Q12. Will any drivers switch teams? If so, name them.

    No, not unless Piastri is a disaster (assuming this qs is during the season).

    Q13. Will there be any controversies?

    Of course there will be. Teams copying other teams, teams pushing the limits of what's legal, race director making a mistake, on track collisions, etc.

    Q14. How many wet races will there be?

    4. although I think a better qs here is will the full wets actually get used this year. I'm assuming Perelli will have them fixed because last season they were a joke.

    Q15. How many red flags will there be?

    9.

    I'm playing f1 manager at the moment, I have 4 races left in the 2023 season, I'll give my predictions on the basis of that season. (spoiler: it's a nail biter between Hamilton and Verstappen). Give me a few days.

    Q7. Will any teams change ownership?

    Not during the season, but I reckon Alpha Tauri could get sold at end of next season.

    Q8. Which team will make the biggest leap in performance?

    Aston Martin

    Q9. Which team will be the biggest disappointment?

    McLaren

    Q10. Name the teams who will finish in the top four in the constructors championship?

    Mercedes - Red Bull - Ferrari - Alpine

    Q11. Will any drivers be sacked during the season? If so, name them.

    No. But Nyck de Vries & Sergio Perez would be most likely.

    Q12. Will any drivers switch teams? If so, name them.

    No. But as per above, could see changes at Red Bull teams if they have a mare.

    Q13. Will there be any controversies?

    Obviously. Most likely we'll have inter-driver issues at Red Bull and Alpine. If the Mercedes is really good could see issues there too if they favour Lewis too much. We'll likely have some collisions too that people will freak out over.
