2017 team pecking order predictions

As much as I'd want to see the close battle with Ferrari and Mercedes, think this season will lend itself to Red bull and Mercedes with Ferrari coming a close third

 

Ferrari's Raikkonen believes speculating on F1 2017 is 'pointless' - F1 - Autosport

I guess this thread is useless

 

At least he won't bother his winter with useless speculations: "things were what they were and they could have been better, and if they are better next year, we all then would be happier".
A great philosophe, our Kimi...

Ferrari and renault going head to head all season. Ferrari can only backslide with it's current team

 

Still 50 days to go, the winter break seems to take forever...

Let's just hope Mercedes lost it's dominance and we get to see a close fight between them Ferrari and RB. And who knows what McLaren got up their sleeve.

 

Apparently team player Hamilton wants to prevent Bottas accessing his telemetric data. I don't see how he is going to have a say in that but if they block internal data exchange, they'll have some more to struggle this year.

So he wants to profite from his team mates testing works and set up (as apparently he is lazy with that) but he does not want to share dates regarding the actual driving because he thinks everybody out there is just keen to copy him? Cherry picking...

 

With recent comments from both Ex-WDC Lewis and his Father, it appears they fear Valtteri may be faster, once he adapts to the car.

 

Bottas appears and is said to be very easy on the tires and is known to be smooth. He has defended very well against other faster cars lap after lap and is not super easy to pass. Now we have to see how he can attack with a fast car. I think LH should be a bit concerned as there are unknowns with Bottas and he is young etc. He should worry less about data as any replay of any race will give a good driver insight into his lines, technical data or not.

I think Bottas has a certain calmness about him that should do well under pressure. LH not so much given his very emotional nature.

 

Spin doctor has come round to fix it, apparently now Hamilton is more than happy to share his setup now...

Not the first time we've heard a 180 from his camp shortly after a comment

 

Well, that does remind of an other person dominating the headlines right at the moment, I also see some simularities between some of their followers

 

Thinking before speaking eludes that 'camp' LOL

 

Alternative facts.
