So what are your predictions?

Last year of course we pretty much saw the race of the decade here, with the exceptional performance from Max winning the race where he only started from 17th position on the grid.
So many things happened during that race, it was a true spectacle of greatness. And Max arguably won the WDC there, crushing all hopes of the faster McLaren cars that only gave a mediocre performance.

How will it go this year? the WDC is very close.
I'm hoping for rain and the same spectacle this year as we saw last year

This is my prediction:

1. VER
2. RUS
3. NOR
4. PIA
5. HAM
6. HAD
7. LEC
8. ALO
9. ANT
10. HULK

For people who don't place predictions: please refrain from giving negative comments after the race on predictions other members have given. Nobody makes perfect predictions, and if you don't make predictions yourself, you're not showing you know better.

last year was quite a mess. If it's like that again, it's anyone's race.

I think this is Lando's race to lose.

[M5Rick]

1. MAX
2. TSU ok no, then RUS
3. HAM (finally gets something together
4. LEC
5. PIA
6. NOR
7. TSU
8. HAD
9. ALO
10. ANT
Like it or not that's it.

Maybe Lance Stroll wins in the rain, apparently he's better than Hamilton

Stroll's performance last year for sure was one of a kind
(when he just slowly drove into the gravel trap...)

If Hulk gets 3rd, I'm going to shed a tear, nostalgia all over again

According to the forecast there is a 25% chance of rain on Saturday but only 10% on Sunday.

I expect cars that perform well on high downforce and low average speed corners to do well at Interlagos.

So my predictions (for the GP that is):

1. VER
2. HAM
3. RUS
4. NOR
5. HAD
6. ALO
7. BOR
8. BEA
9. PIA
10. GAS

I’m fairly sure he did that on purpose though. It looked as convincing as those people that slip on a banana skin in a supermarket and sue for a large sum of money.

If so...the big question is....WHY?!?

It was the formation lap.
He could've just driven to his start position on the grid (during formation you're allowed to do that I believe), or if he had too much damage he could've driven into the pits, get a new front wing and start from the pitlane.

Now....it was no points Stroll

He should do it through the proper way kneeling on one knee and asking for her hand in marriage (if that is what I presume)

That's why I actually posted ..

36 points behind with 4 races and 2 sprints to go = 116 points to grab.

On the other hand : Norris had wings in Mexico..

And I hear , Ferrari is considering to replace both PU's.
That means a 10P grid penalty for both Ferrari drivers.
And that could be bad news for us as well...

I see where you're coming from so AS USUAL it may well be MAX one man army fighting the papaya onslaught, though rain and wind is a great leveller

It was not cheap for Charlie . It was $500K to get her , as you can read and see ..
