What's your opinion on the next 3 races?

Well, I did say you probably don't want to hear my predictions... As a little disclaimer: it's not as easy to be accurate far in advance because of unpredictable stuff like weather, upgrades, grid penalties, crazy qualis, etc. Once the FPs and Quali are done though, I've been able to fairly accurately make predictions for most of this year's races. Anyway, here it goes with my (most likely very wildly inaccurate) predictions for the next 3 home races:

IMOLA: if it doesn't rain: 1. VER, 2. PER, 3. ALO. LEC 7 SAI 8 after the Mercs and Stroll. I don't think Ferrari's upgrades or the Sprint will make any difference in the outcome. If there is heavy rain, 1. VER, after that, anything goes.

MONACO: If Charles can tame the beast that is SF-23 long enough to put it on pole, I could see a 1. LEC, 2. VER, 3. PER. If not, I'm gonna go with 1. VER, 2. LEC, 3. PER and tbh, unless there is some blooming miracle upgrade coming from Ferrari, this may be Charles's only chance for a GP win this year. And I'm gonna say 5th place for Carlos.

SPAIN: Barcelona being the tyre devourer track, I don't think our guys stand a chance. Not sure if we are still getting some upgrades here, or whether they all have been moved up already, but either way, this is going to be another Red Bull 1-2: 1. VER, 2. PER and for some reason I'm feeling 3. RUS. Ferrari boys...maybe P5 and P6.
