The top 3 drivers in the Drivers Championship will be... 1- Vettel 2- Hamilton 3- Ricciardo

How many teams will score a podium finish? Three, Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. They are well clear of the rest of the pack
Will any drivers be replaced (if yes, who for who?) 6. Palmer for Sirotkin. Kvyat for Gasly. Raikkonen for Sainz Jr. Massa for someone. Alonso for someone. Ericsson for Giovinazzi (This is at the end of the season, Alonso will probs be replace by Button if this meant in season changes)

Yes, someone at Sauber most def. Who? Don't know.

2. Option B: Ricciardo traditional shoey accidentally dips champagne on Liberty Media officials and gets a race ban.
3. Option C: Maldonado makes a inGLORIOUS return to F1 driving the latest McLaren to glory, fame and money.
