I'm sticking with George Russell.

As you'll see, it's Max and George left.

And my word, if that was a title battle, sign me up every day of the week because it'd be incredible.

But I think Mercedes are going to be too strong.

I have more faith than I did before the start of the season that we're not going to have a 2014 season from Mercedes and they're going to be light years clear.

I really hope not.

But I do still think they are going to be incredibly strong and clear of the pack.

I think that it will be a fight between the others to pick up the pieces when Mercedes aren't maximising their result.

I do think maybe Mercedes have a couple of tenths on the field and will be

the quickest and george we saw amazing consistency from him last year i don't for a second uh i don't know how anyone could not think that a driver like george given the right car could do it um because you know we've seen a lot of drivers up and down the grids you you could driver performance could only do so much as well uh but he's a fantastic driver you know look what he managed to do in williams he got the promotion he's beaten lewis hamilton at mercedes

and you deliver him a championship-winning car, I think he will deliver.

Now, talk about second place, which was Max Verstappen.

I had Max in about fifth at one point, and I slowly moved him up.

So what's changed about Max Verstappen, I will say, is that they are there.

I really thought this season that it would be such a struggle, that we might see such a performance gap.

But they are in that pack, in my opinion, between Ferrari and McLaren.

I think it's close between those guys.

And if that is the case, Max will deliver.

And he's got the consistency we saw last year even.

We went into last year saying Max Verstappen's got the fourth best car.
