sort of close but no dice.

less close
3. Sainz will leave Ferrari at end of season because Ferrari 2nd driver shenanigans.
still some time left in the calendar year but no point there
4. Lewis will get back to winning races
some podiums so sort of close but still no point for me?
5. RBR pace will fall off as season progresses (vindication of the cap and past winner restriction rules).
some of the practice sessions might have suggested others were closing the gap but then the races happened
6. midfield battle of the season will be an old school battle between Mclaren and Williams
got some good midfield stuff but Williams were not close to Mclaren
7. Vettel will sub in for at least one race
nope
8. Hulk will outscore Mags
got that one right!
9. Gasly and Ocon will get into several fights/arguments both on and off track.
kinda got that one right. will take a half point
10. Renault to announce that it will return and supplant Alpine name/branding
will revisit before the start of next season!

a generous 1.5 out of 10!
