Poll: Predict the 2025 F1 World Drivers Championship (WDC)? We need a poll!!

[GR63]

I think someone needs to open a poll


There is also a thread for the WCC here:

Predict the 2025 F1 World Constructors Championship (WCC)

As per the other thread relating to the 2025 F1 Drivers Championship, this one is for the Constructors Championship:

I honestly wouldn't even know who to vote for!

Could be anyone from:

Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, or Hamilton

...and possibly even Piastri or Russell.

 

[GR63]

I think Piastri is an outside chance more likely than Russell... In junior formulae he didn't always win but he was very consistent. I'm hoping this year will be a four way fight for teams and 6-7 on drivers. Not expecting Lawson (I don't rate him) or Antonelli (I do rate but he's not fastest to adapt) to feature much

I think Lawson is good, but he has no chance of winning the title, because if the Red Bull is good enough to fight for it, Max will beat him/win the title again.

That's why I've written Lawson off.

Same with Kimi. If the Merc is the fastest car I think Russell will win the title over Kimi.

For McLaren and Ferrari (if they have the fastest car) it's more difficult. I'd probably sway towards Norris and Leclerc but I wouldn't be so certain.

Most people thought Max would run away with it last year and no-one had Mclaren on their agenda.
That's why predictions are only guesswork at best and something I never indulge in.

It depends whether the FIA are going to address driving standards in a consistent manor.

Depends on the FIA generally.

 

[jaybee]

I've voted Max for a number of reasons. This could and should be an epic season, but I just feel Redbull might surprise us with further leaps forward and more of the same where Max basically dominates with his package. I also feel he will continue to get away with his methods all the while Mclaren/Merc/Ferrari will beat each other up hampering a true major contender where the points all get shared out too much to challenge Max. So basically similar to last season.

 

[MassiveJim]

Lance Stroll!!

 

[Stumble Bum]

I think it'll mainly be between Max and Lando again, if Ferrari make a good enough car then LeClerc comes into the equation. Don't see there being anyone else who could win it.

 

[GravyMonster]

My prediction would be for RB to continue their post-Newey slump and have the third fastest car, Ferrari and McLaren to be fighting for top spot most weekend and Leclerc to edge it over Norris with Hamilton in 3rd.

I read yesterday that apparently the flexy wing rule is being tightened around June this coming season.

On that basis, I'm going to wildly predict one the Ferraris will win the drivers championship by a narrow margin.

I voted Lewis cos you never know.. I'd be happy with any of those who have a Union Jack in their flag - Go Pastry Boy

Lewis stands a reasonable shot if the Ferrari is the fastest car, but Leclerc won't be easy to beat and may stand the better chance out of the two (mainly because I expect him to beat Lewis in qualy most of the time).

 

[Feek]

I voted Lewis

I did too because I'd absolutely love to see it happen.

 

[Reuben klang]

I’m going full on Lando. Hopefully gets a good start.

 

[alex24]

I think this may be the most difficult season to predict for a while (until next year at least).

I would like to see a new world champion, so I’d like to go Leclerc on that basis as long as he can keep consistent form.

but he's past it/over the hill/should retire/whatever

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

The power of belief is all that is needed.
I have added my vote for Alonso.

Always hard to say until you see the cars in the first race but if the trajectory from last season continues I think Leclerc has a good shout at it this year - there wasn't much attention or spotlight to it but he finished a reasonably close third with Ferrari looking fairly strong alongside McLaren. I'm not sure Hamilton will manage enough of a smooth start in a new car and team (I suspect Mercedes to Ferrari is a bigger culture shift than McLaren to Mercedes was back in the day too) to go for the title and so may play into Leclerc's hand if Ferrari see a good chance to play the team game in his favour.

Norris and Piastri I think will be there or thereabouts but McLaren will allow them to fight between themselves too much for too long, take points off each other and someone like Leclerc or Verstappen could quietly creep ahead them, leaving McLaren looking at another constructer title only season.

It's hard to count Verstappen out but the Red Bull will need to have seen a bit of a turnaround to keep him in the hunt. He will have the benefit of a teammate that nobody is really expecting to challenge him too hard and so again probably default #1 driver status. If they recover the performance they've lost to others recently, then it's hard to look past Verstappen, even if it might not be his easiest title.

I'm not sure Mercedes will get themselves truly back into the mix at the front enough to give Russell or Antonelli a proper chance.

Unless someone turns up with a surprisingly revolutionary car next year though, I think we could be in for a genuinely interesting season in terms of title race, it was getting close at the top last year.
