Mate listen ...If MAX can get the necessary power from his '21 HONDA PU ..
He will take HAM down like never before , and HAM will sink like a brick in the water !
Or just like the Titanic . That would be nice as well...

Look ...MAX had the power and pace in Abu Dhabi .
And he just humiliated the Merc's ! Who did that as well ? No one !!!
So , everyone has seen of what he's capable of !

It was the end of the '20 season in Abu Dhabi , but it can be the beginning of the '21 season as well !
One thing is for sure : HAM has to watch his A$$ , because he can lose it already in the next month !

IIRC, Merc went into that race saying they detuned the engines to make sure they made it to the end of the race... I do hope Max can try to keep up this year to make the podium more interesting but I am not holding my breath.

Detuned ? Just because Checo-Perez blew his Merc thing..
But the Merc's didn't lost a lot of pace , because they were only - 0.1 sec. slower in the same lap and speed-trap .
HAM and his grandma didn't even knew or felt that their spaceship was detuned ...
That's what the WOlf said after the race !

No one else than MAX got the power there , he ran a gap together of 13 sec. on the first spaceship with HAM&Grandma in it
I said 13 seconds ! In F1 that's a sea of time , while MAX lifted his right foot already with 5 laps to run ....
Otherwise it was 20 + seconds !

BTW : As we know is Abu Dhabi really a Merc-Power track !

Im not arguing that RB didnt get closer to Merc as the year went on, but this is something we see every year basically. Merc stops development in the current car and starts work on next year mid-way through the season. Near the end of the season, other teams catch up. Everyone claims RB will be in it next year. Next year, season begins and Merc is WAAAAAAY out front. Rinse Repeat.

I sure hope you are not referring to me as a "Ham altar follower". I am not saying I want repeat of last year or the year before. Im saying that you guys are expecting something different with zero evidence.

Let me try it your way.

Perez is going to SMOKE BIG MAX this year. Max is shaking in his boots! Perez is clearly the better driver and with the correct equipment, Max has no chance.
McLaren will also finish in 1st this year because I want them too and Norris will hold the crown! Youngest champ ever! SUCK IT MAX. He will go home to his cheeto army and will be laughed at forever. Max will never recover from the pain.

How'd I do?

No disrespect meant though. Hoping we get a great season with twists and new winners.

RBR to finish 4th in the WCC
RIC and PER along with, possibly NOR ahead of Max in the WDC.

WDC Prediction:
HAM, RIC, BOT, NOR, PER, VER-LEC-SAI, STR, VET-tossup, ALO, OCO.

WCC Prediction:
MER, MCL-MER, RBR-FER-AM tossup.

I can't wait to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth!!

Must be one of your dream scenarios my friend ...

But I'll consider your statement as a "Fata Morgana" anyway !

Just like the others : Checo Perez hasn't the ability to drive the RB16-B beyond the limits .

After 3 races Checo Perez has already grass on his A$$ .And MAX drives with a lawn mower !

RIC is definitely beating Max this year. I'm sure we'll hear the two usual song cries about Redbull's inferiority causing the greatest driver to every race in F1 fail. Obviously sarcasm referring to the failed boy wonder Max.

Good drivers know when they're on a sinking ship and they also are on the radar for good teams. Both of which applies to Lewis and Max. We obviously know who is the smarter of the two as denoted in MKSixer's sig.

[M5Rick]

My predicts: VER.PER.RIC (well,they keep saying how quick he is)BOT (get his revenge) HAM then LEC.

If Checo can crash out the MIB Mercs ...That would be an outstanding beginning !
You know it my friend , It's just a mission ...

Just what I was thinking also... but hey don't Merc plan that in also if anyone catches up to them e.g. HAM on Albon.

This seems pretty plausible for the top 4-5 (the Perez consistency could come into play over pushing extra hard in an inferior car like Max). I want to see Vettel beat Stroll and Ferrari though. I'll be sad otherwise. He has to have his mojo in the tank still.
