It's going to be anticlimactic. Max cannot start due to some electronical issue on reconnaissance lap, and Hamilton cruises to dominating victory. End of story.

Hopefully the new layout is an improvement at least.

------------------

I would not be surprised to see Mercedes put another meme ICE in Hamilton's car - with the 2 long straights, the resulting grid penalty would be made up quickly and there would be no risk of any turn 1 shenanigans either.

If it's true that tight and medium corners benefit the Red Bull more, that could be a close one.

I really hope last years form stays for Rbr, so i hope really fastest car wins, and of course clean race, who ever gets it will for sure deserve it. What a rollercoaster of a season, hopefully it will be remembered good, in a clean way. Cant wait

Max and Lewis will take each other off at T1 but not out. Hamilton recovers to win with his comedy ICE and Max comes home a frustrated 8th behind Vitaly Petrov.

Don't really mind which way it goes, I'm just hoping for another 'IS THAT GLOCK?!' kind of moment. Not really sure who the Glock equivalent is on the current grid though...

That will happen if Bottas takes out Verstappen and in revenge, Perez takes out Hamilton.

perhaps Russell will have one final assignment that'll be his first one as a Mercedes titular driver

meanwhile Tsunoda will have his renovation pending a similar assignment

the outcome will be some lifetime bans, most likely Dr. Marko

Mateschitz would haha, but he again could go to Jean Todt and bribe his way to get just a year ban for the old Doktor

Based on the last race there's no point predicting a single thing, there's zero way whatever we come up with will live up to the kind of craziness expected in a close title race

In one way I expect it to be another race like Saudi Arabia with all kinda of elements no-one could forsee, SCs, Red Flags, VSCs, crashes, passes, pit strategy and whatever else

Another way could be a giant let down. This is Abu Dhabi don't forget, the place that decided 2 champions because it was impossible to overtake here
Hell, if passing was possible here, Alonso would have 3 titles and Lewis would be going for a 9th :lol:

Yes yes yes, new track layout, I'll believe it when i see passing on it.... :whistling:

Also, this would be the worst time for someone like Norris or Sainz to win their first race. If say, Max and Lewis have a minor contact early on and are spun down the order but are scrambling back up the field to the points to win the title and taking advantage of this, Ferrari/McLaren or whoever else get a surprise win, it's not going to be covered at all.
The TV direction is just going to focus on the title battle and woe betide anyone else having an unexpected good day.

I fully expect them to go full send if they ever get close together.

Track limits will be a mere suggestion on this circuit, expect to see Brazil turn 4 over and over

Hamilton's Mercedes 'rocket' will surely take him to another pole. And so Verstappen will ensure the championship is decided at T1, or T9 at the latest with an ambitious divebomb.

max drove angry after his qualy crash. it will be interesting if he grows from it and stays cool this weekend, because if he does i think he has a real chance to win the championship. that said, i'm pulling for lewis to get number 8! this weekend, and for a new first time winner :) as long as nobody pulls a grosjean in the last race it should be a fun weekend!

Last year Mercedes was supposed to dominate this race like they did in the years before, and then Verstappen owned the weekend. So anything can happen.

Is Lewis H. and Verstappen touch, Verstappen will be thrown out of the championship. Regardless who is at fault because the FIA and Netflix has already decided who is gonna be champ.
