How can you predict when testing has so many variables, surely the only way is when they hit the race track!
Can only speak for myself but after winter testing I felt Ferrari had the edge and with their momentum over the past few years I thought this would be the year they carried a big enough advantage over the year to hold off Lewis and Mercedes...

:lol: :blush:

(Early days though obviously but its pretty ominous looking from Mercedes)

I said 0.7 seconds. Not for Australia, but for the whole season based on the fastest team.

Right I said that I would bump this thread so let's see who was the closest, if I only take 100% accurate answers then the scoring is going to look somewhat bleak so 3 points for each answer allowing some leeway for people being close with their guesses, the answers I've put below.

2. What will Daniel Ricciardo’s highest race finish be? Third, maybe second. 0
3. Who will score the most points: Lando Norris, Alexander Albon or George Russell? Norris, followed by Albon, and then Russell (assuming Williams score ANY points). 0
4. Which driver will out-qualify their team mate the most? Raikkonen over Giovinazzi. Second pick would be Ricciardo over Hulkenberg 0
5. How many races will Charles Leclerc win? One. 2
6. How many podiums will be scored by cars other than Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull? Last year there was only one (Perez taking 3rd in Azerbaijan). Factoring luck like that one race, plus the mid-field closing the gap a bit, plus Ricciardo's move... I'll go with three. 3 :thumbup:
7. Which driver will win the pole position trophy? I'll bet on what we've seen since testing began and go with Vettel. But if Ferrari lose pace in development or Vettel gets into a funk like the last couple of years, it'll be Hamilton 0
8. Who will be the first driver to be replaced or substituted for a race? Kubica. A dog of a car and someone who hasn't raced for that long aren't a great combination. Swapping Kvyat and Gasly could also be possible. I think Kvyat has more raw talent, and if he's cooled down and matured since his first go at it, it could be a really good move for RBR. 0
9. And who will take their place? I don't really follow reserve/development drivers and such, so I could be way off on this. Replacing Kubica, Ocon or maybe Sirotkin. 0
10. Which driver will collect the most penalty points? Grosjean. 0
11. Who will win the Monaco Grand Prix? Vettel. 0
12. Will Esteban Ocon get an F1 race seat for 2020 – and if so, who with? Williams. 1
13. Spain, Britain, Germany, Italy and Mexico don’t have deals to hold rounds of the 2020 F1 calendar. Which of these races will get one? All except Germany. 3 :thumbup:
14. How much quicker will this year’s cars be than last year’s? 0.3s 3 :thumbup:
15. What will be the biggest political story of 2019? Claire Williams' leadership of the team. 0
16. Which driver will use the most engines (ICE), and how many? Verstappen with four. 0
17. At which race will the drivers’ championship be decided? Brazil. 0
18. Which team will finish fourth in the constructors’ championship? Renault 0
19. Constructors champion: Ferrari. 0
20. Drivers champion: Vettel. 0

Edited to make my official answers stand out.
Score = 14
