Who will be 2021 World Champion? (Mid-season poll)

#1

Post by PTRACER »

I used to do one before the start of the season, one mid-season, and one just before the championship decider. Unfortunately it has been very clear cut for much of the last decade who would win (the only two close ones being 2012 where Vettel won by 2 points, and 2016 where Rosberg beat Hamilton by 5 points).

What with this being the closest season battle for some years and the championship roughly 50% completed, let's give it a go.

Who do you think will be champion this year?

Lewis. He's had 100 points of luck and now his car is faster.

If Max gets a vote, Erwin voted.

If Max gets two votes, Helmut Marko lurks TFL.

If Max gets three votes, a pantsless Christian Horner lurks TFL from his mancave.

I voted Max just to be contrary.

If him and RBR can pull themselves together they should have a stronger second half of the season.

I voted for Max simply because I don't want Whammy to luck his way onto yet another title.

I voted Max because I backed him from the start of the season. It seems like Mercedes is winning the development battle, but Lewis has made more mistakes so far and I expect him to make at least one more. The joy is we have a title fight this season. Hopefully it goes down to the last couple of races.

I reckon Max and Red Bull to be the faster package in the second half of the season. And come one, how much luck does Lewis needs? It will be close though, but Max and RB will take this one!
