Formula 1 2021 Predictions: The Season F1 Fans Have Been Waiting For

[@JudeBlackwell740]

My prediction is that in the first race of the season Max Verstappen will be chasing down Lewis Hamilton in the closing laps and will pass him and give up his position due to track limits

As of Monza: -McLaren first win after 9 years -Lewis first DNF after 3 years -Max gets a home win in Zandvoort -We had the shortest "race" ever if you can call it one in Spa -Ocon first win in Hungary -Max at one point indeed had a commanding lead of 30 points before Silverstone and Hungary cut it all -Max won 3 times a row (France, Styria, Austria) -And RB won 5 times a row (Monaco, Baku, France, Styria, Austria-Baku by Checo, rest by Max) -Since Spain Mercedes actually only one once at Silverstone, by Lewis -Lando Norris at one point was 3rd in Championship! (Currently 4th)

@@CYMotorsport Unless someone will eventually point out continuously disrespecting the rules is not a way to take the CS seriously, I don’t think it’s fair to call Max an actual thread. He sure has the talent but obviously lacks te mentality. I don’t think any other driver would have gotten away with stagnating for 6 years while blaming the ‘restrictions’ of his personalised Newey car for it. It’s truely baffling how he singlehandedly managed to downgrade one of the most celebrated constructors of the history of F1 to some shady backdoor garagista with a dodgy one-dimensional car in order to keep on externalising pressure. Winners don’t mind looking at themselves for answers...

The Bahrain GP clearly shows why no one should underestimate Mercedes even if they don’t have the best car on the grid. They are bold enough to make weird strategies, better consistency by both Hamilton and Bottas will allow them to put pressure on Red Bull for occasions like last weekend where Perez wasn’t in the position to back Max up. And the race showed how Hamilton being Hamilton makes a difference to the pace a Mercedes can get out of the car while Bottas can’t.

[@neckr888]

-I just want max to take the championship all the way to abu Dubai. I don't care if he win or doesn't - Alfa is faster than alpine - Bottas finish P4 in WDC (inconsistent in the second half of the season) - Alonso finishing top 10 in the WDC - Lando or Riccardo knocking on the bottas's door in the WDC - 6 different constructors on the podium - McLaren surprise pole at Monaco (idk why, I think we will see a suprise pole this season especially on a street circuit)

[@CYMotorsport]

I do agree pole in monaco will be someone new to be honest.

[@aaronaaronsen3360]

That was quite interesting ! I don't think the drivers will be "stuck" in their teams positions, I guess it'll be a bit more shuffled. Also the Honda engine looks really impressive this season, so RB and AT will perform a bit more than you said, but nobody could've known that before the qualifications. And I thought Alonso wouldn't be that good on the track after all these years, even if he got defeated by a sandwich wrapper. Also (a bit unrelated) I'm really looking forward to Aston Martin become more and more on the front. They always "punched above their weight" (I heard this one so much they should put it on their cars), so with the budget and aerorestriction, I think they'll become really competitive, always having had to compete with a lower budget than the other teams. This and the future RB engine.

[@nover0570]

I think this season is going to be intense. Predictions were spot on, for the most part. I’d only change the top few. The thing everyone forgets about is the pit crew. We would be foolish to not point the precision in which red bull hits their marks on a pit stop, and the lackluster attempts we’ve seen from Mercedes. That paired with the fact Perez is a strong driver. If that car works out for him, I think he’s going to bring a bigger fight than everyone expects. Bottas can get a seat after this year with any other team, but this is likely it for Perez. He’s hungry, and I thinks that’s going to take him a long way. All in all it’s going to be a fight for sure, but I think Red Bull might be able to edge out Mercedes with a better strategy because the driver pairing they bring. The other thing I think a lot of people are missing is, what happens if Perez and Verstappen start fighting for points position? Will Perez be aloud to race, or will he be asked to make way for the golden child? We are in for one hell of a season! Another awesome video man, keep up the good work!

[@TheSaeedshreem]

Please please please, do a video the same as the 2012 season video. 2021 gave us every crazy you could imagine in F1.

[@Isfahaninejad]

In the case of Russell and Latifi I think it's important to note that Latifi would have beaten Russell last year if Hamilton hadn't gotten sick, and that Latifi's race pace is pretty much on par with Russell's. If he manages to get his qualifying together then he has a decent chance this year. Granted he did get a lucky P11 in the first round in 2020 but still. Also while Latifi was 0.620 seconds behind Russell in the Bahrain qualifying, the average gap between teammates was 0.545 seconds, so he really wasn't all that far off considering.

This may give McLaren an opening as well.

[@jgagnier]

You mean I _didn't_ need to smash the sub button? My fist still hurts. I think I might've understood your video. You predict that Max will be inferior to Lewis, and that Checo will be inferior to Bottas. Yet, you also predict that the Constructors Title will be much closer than the Drivers, while it would seem that it should be the exact opposite. I'm also glad to hear you talk about Lance Stroll from a strictly sporting perspective. He's been around for a while, yet he is only 22. He consolidated his strengths last year (rain, race starts except the one where it truly mattered), and seems to have made his glaring flaw, qualifying, at least passable. While he was certainly underperforming in the second half of 2020, he wasn't as thoroughly bad as many seem to think; he did have 2-3 absolute stinkers, but more often than not it was bad luck (COVID, mechanical at Mugello, being rammed into by Leclerc and Kvyat). All this to say, I don't think he's a future Drivers Title contender unless his consistency drastically increases, and he's certainly no Max/Charles on pure pace, but with his skill set, he could become a race winner. We can recall how he not only got pole in Turkey last year under the most horrid conditions, but he also maintained first place on merit on race day until his front wing issues and his unfortunate tire strategy. But to bring it back to you: I agree, in an underwhelming car next to Vettel, he's in a position to learn and improve with relatively little pressure.

[@CYMotorsport]

Not points wise, my confidence wise in terms of how close it’ll be. I’m more bullish checo is closer to bottas then max to Hamilton. Plus the allocations differ dramatically. Bottas and checo can swap even if one getting the upper hand, the delta would be much smaller given the 7 point swing between p1 and p2

How could it go wrong? Reliability issues, that's how. When was the last time Lewis scored 0 points? And how often has Max' car conked out?

[@QuincelSC]

Only two races in but this is astonishingly good so far. Basically only overestimating Alpha Tauri at this point.

[@blacktoothfox677]

12:20 I like that a lot... 'alleged' aerodynamic problems. On point as ever, man! Hope y'all healthy 'cross the pond. Season is looking in great shape so far, eh?

[@CYMotorsport]

The next one will sat a little. For som reason ppl are underestimating how much track characterize matter. A rear limited circuit is not kind to the arrows. But they still won somehow. Doesn’t bode wel for max!

[@blacktoothfox677]

@@CYMotorsport I really REALLY want Seb to have some luck... & Perez - he looked like a chubby potato at the beginning of the 2020 season. He looks as lean and fit as I've ever seen him this time, though. I don't think he intends to waste his chance! Nice that Williams are not at the back. It was only 2016 that McLaren were 2nd from last, so I am not in total despair for the lads at Wantage!

[@bigbaderek1978]

Such a good race!!! I am so excited about this season

[@CYMotorsport]

One to remember!

[@4L15T3R]

That was a very two-by-two set of drivers standings, I think the championship will be more interesting than that!

[@F_r_a_n_y]

Good predictions, hope you're wrong about Vettel and I feel you underrated LeClerc.

[@oldeenglish64]

No way Ferrari has another year like it did last. Ferrari comes back strong this year and takes 2nd. Good video by the way. Im sure that takes a lot of work.

[@CYMotorsport]

Yeah that’s my thinking. It’s rare they do this back to back in such poor form

[@skiran6316]

Whats crazy is Hamilton’s last retirement came in 2018 talk about consistency of engine and driver. If Honda can match that we should have a tasty battle

[@olivialambert4124]

I think Ferrari has been underestimated here, and by a lot of people. I'm still convinced last season was due to the catastrophically bad suspension flaws uncovered by Grosjean, and that any other aspects such as engine power and the like are purely secondary. I look at the way Vettel did so badly compared to Leclerc as soft evidence, Vettel likes a predictable rear end whilst Leclerc drives a lot of varied cars as a gamer. I think with a proper rear suspension back in the car they won't be too far behind. Granted they might have lost some development time compared to working with a functional car, and granted they would do better spending points on something else with a working rear suspension, but if they did start 2020 with the second best car ignoring suspension deficits I can't see them being behind third today. I'd predict somewhere between the top teams and the rest teams, with Leclerc coming 5th in the championship (maybe even 4th). Ultimately Red Bull have shown you can do great things with a poor engine multiple times this era, and I don't think that is any different today. Perhaps Mclaren with Mercedes is more of an advantage than I assume, but I'd be surprised if Ferrari aren't still a step above.

[@CYMotorsport]

It’s possible but Bahrain showed Ferrari were behind McLaren. But it’s a rear limited track. It’s still highly possible the Ferrari comes alive. Leclerc and sainz are more dangerous IMO than ricciardo and Norris so that alone will help bring them together

[@stevenjoseph6048]

I feel like no one is talking about how quick Alphatauri was this weekend. Gasly qualified P5 and Tsunoda most likely would've been in Q3. Their race pace was strong imo. Gasly also started on the medium tyres and if he didn't hit Ricciardo and lost his front wing in the process, then I'm sure Gasly would have finished ahead of Leclerc and potentially Perez.

[@olivialambert4124]

@@stevenjoseph6048 That is an interesting point. I only watched the very brief highlights and missed all of that battle, but its a huge step forwards if it stays consistent. I've always liked Gasly so I can't pretend I'm not happy for him, but with Tsunoda up there too its an interesting turn. Could the Honda engine be an explanation, or are they stuck using last year's engines for now?

[@jeronwade930]

How much potential are yall putting into Yuki Tsunoda success. I thinking 6-8th in the champ. And if I'm being real brazing, saying 1 win, or a podium.

[@jackdyson5670]

Ahahah - very nicely done and impressively accurate too in places given the events that unfolded first GP. I think you should have kept faith with the math as far as Norris is concerned though. I didn't need the statistical weight to know that the Ferrari two were the best overall pairing in F1 currently. However I think you have Fernando all wrong :D why ? You didn't factor abominable self-belief into the distribution skew. Looking at history, Vettels going through a Damon Hill moment. And by inverting your Mercedes argument - the AM does not have the engineering to claw back the downforce. Thats a weak driver pairing and an increasingly weaker car ... As for the Mexican, assuming what he says is right, expect a surge of performance in a couple of GP's time. He has been instructed to "win" by his team. However, oppositely Bottas is going to get held back by Mercedes to favour Lewis which is going to give RB the constructors. As for Clubber Lang, sorry Lewis, I mean - there is nothing anyone can do the way I see it from here - he is too strong a driver whatever car he drives. His Bahrain drive reminded me of the way Michael used to drive. Along with Fernando this is the era of the F1 Ironclads... :D Best to you 😊

[@CYMotorsport]

That vettel Damon hill moment line is really going to stick with me haha but great comment all around!

[@AldoV]

You are great!

[@ndlovulwazi]

I see leclerc competitive with Norris and ricciardo tbh ,dude is too talented and that McLaren is better than the Ferrari but not by much

[@CYMotorsport]

Bahrain is a very specific circuit. Will be interesting to see it plat out in other places

[@UkuleleProductions]

My predictions (pre-race): 1. Max Verstappen 2. Lewis Hamilton 3. Daniel Ricciardo 4. Charles Leclerc 5. Sergio Pérez 6. Valterri Bottas 7. Lando Norris 8. Pierre Gasly 9. Carlos Sainz 10. Sebastian Vettel 11. Yuki Tsunoda 12. Fernando Alonso 13. Lance Stroll 14. Esteban Ocon 15. George Russell 16. Antonio Giovinazzi 17. Kimi Räikkönen 18. Nicholas Latifi 19. Mick Schumacher 20. Nikita Mazepin 1. Red Bull 2. Mercedes 3. McLaren 4. Ferrari 5. Alpha Tauri 6. Aston Martin 7. Alpine 8. Alfa Romeo 9. Williams 10. Haas

[@CYMotorsport]

This is def my alternative prediction. I still think valtteri holds but if he cracks, hello 2018. And I put checo’s 2021 above Kimis 2018 which is all seb needed to win

[@Drrolfski]

This is published after the first Bahrain GP, where results from that taken into account with these predictions?

[@CYMotorsport]

2 seconds in you’ll find out. These were after testing and before Bahrain qualifying

[@Drrolfski]

@@CYMotorsport I see it now, that's easy to overlook it tbh as it was only onscreen for a second or so.

[@CYMotorsport]

It’s only there for the objection. Fair point and valid question . Figured that would come up so no worries . I’d be suspect if someone posted this after too haha
