• **2022 Pool** Drivers and Constructors Championship predictions

    From Mark@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Thu Feb 17 09:39:03 2022

    As in previous years, here's the chance to predict who the WDC and WCC
    winners will be before wheels turn in anger. This year, of course, lots
    of uncertainty with all of the rules changes...

    WDC:
    WCC:

    The deadline for this will (as always) be at the start of FP1 at the
    first round...

    No, I don't believe in paying any attention to the sandbagging that goes
    on in testing.

    Yes, it's a boring prediction, but:

    1. They have something to prove
    2. There is anecdotal evidence that the push to get the WDC compromised
    Red Bull's preparations for 2022
    3. I can't see the rest catching up with both Mercedes and Red Bull

    so...

    WDC: Lewis Hamilton
    WCC: Mercedes

    True, but there's nothing wrong with betting heavy chalk.
