Ahead of this new weekend’s 2017 curtain-raiser in Melbourne, the Read Motorsport editors make their predictions for the season ahead.
We’ve asked Connor McDonagh, Joshua Suttill, Chris Barrass and David Comerford the following questions:
Who will win the drivers’ championship?
Who will win the constructors’ championship?
Who will be the surprise of the season?
How many drivers will win races?
Who will win the midfield battle?
How will McLaren-Honda fare?
The dominance Mercedes has enjoyed for the past three seasons is under threat after the regulations were revamped in a bid to restore the ‘wow’ factor to the sport.
Ferrari and Red Bull are expected to present a renewed challenge, meaning a mouth-watering title duel between the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen is on the cards.
