I might as well put it out there.

Winner: Lewis Hamilton
Second: Max Verstappen
Third: Valtteri Bottas
Fourth: Carlos Sainz
Fifth: Lando Norris
Sixth: Sergio Perez
Seventh: Daniel Ricciardo
Eighth: Charles Leclerc
Ninth: Fernando Alonso
Tenth: Pierre Gasly
Pole: Lewis Hamilton

This is a place where Lewis has gone well. Mind you, he goes well everywhere. I'm not sure if the Red Bull Honda has the same power as the Mercedes so this is why I am picking Hamilton to finish on the top step. Max will be there and probably hound him all the way to the finish line.

well CM Lean for Spa is probably correct for the most part, but I think this year is less predictable than ever! So here's me picks and reasons

1. Lewis Hamilton will win Spa, especially if it rains, and add to his points lead because
2. Valteri Bottas will get the second place ahead of Max, owing to his excellent start which will put hin briefly in front of both Max AND Lewis
3. and Max will be on the podium and probablfy frowning
4. I think Gasly's Honda will surprise everyone and just miss the [odium
5 Perez will be his usual distance from his team mate
6. Sainz will continue to beat his team mate and complicate silly season. What if Toto decides against Russell? If so Ferrari will jump.
7. Chales LeClerc, they say, thrives on difficulty. Well so far not so much.
8. Lando Norris should be close to the podium ... but this time he'll be closeer to his team mate and the midfield will get even more interesting
9. Esteban Ocon will get a couple of points and...
10. ... I wish it could be Sebastian and if we get real rain, he'll maybe be as lucky (I'm being ironic here since the bean counters robbed him last race), but in fact I think Danny Ricciardo will get the last poini.

I'm thinking the first half of the race will be pretty interesting, but the last third wisll be a boring parade with everyone protecting whatever p9ints he has

Let's just pray that all the cars are clean enough to roll into their carriers and no more "penalties" will accrue.

Hi Jim
The weather has upturned my tips with Lando Norris having a crash in qualifying and the lack of pace of the Ferrari's in the wet conditions.
It will be interesting to see if we can have a decent race on Sunday. The weather, again, is looking to play its part...
