It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s time to open ourselves to widespread humiliation in November with our F1 2022 predictions.
Jon Wilde是2021年的PlanetF1的世界冠军所以强调是他的胜利,亚军芬利Crebolder has since left us and gone travelling around the globe in an extended period of self-reflection.
但是，今年有一些额外的竞争，鉴于本赛季的令人无法预测的情况，现在终于到达了法规大修，只有一个点真的可能足以让银器来到2022年的竞争结束。
Enough preamble, let’s get to it…
谁将成为司机的世界冠军？（1点）
马克斯科特：我想过去年的事件，一个名为Lewis Hamilton的司机将拥有他所能拥有的所有动机，他可以抓住一名记录突破的第八届世界锦标赛冠军头衔。令人难以置信的勇敢和激进的选择，我知道！
Michelle Foster:I want to say Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz because it should be, and one day it will be, but not this year so I’ll say Max Verstappen will successfully defend his title.
Jon Wilde:Despite the controversial nature of his victory, Verstappen will be oozing confidence even more than usual. This year, there should be no cloud over what could be a decisive success.
Henry Valantine:阿德里安纽约设计和大规模调节通常会变得非常好，所以我可以想象最大的verstappen相对迅速地看不起。
杰米伍德院：Even if Mercedes and Hamilton do start this season on the back foot, I am sure they will soon stage a fightback. And once that happens, although I’d love another new name to claim the World Championship trophy, Hamilton is my pick to place his name on it for an eighth time.
Sam Cooper:Looking past Lewis Hamilton in any season is tough and no tougher than this year when he has a point to prove but, with that being said, I just feel Max Verstappen takes it again this year.
Oliver Harden:Max Verstappen。红牛现在太强大，并定居梅赛德斯逃离另一个邋phar的赛季。
Who will be Constructors’ World Champion? (1 point)
标记：Just like most other pre-seasons that pass, I’m not falling for the playing of the world’s smallest violin from the Mercedes camp. I don’t mean to dismiss the strength of Red Bull and Ferrari but I just can’t bring myself to back against the Silver Arrows, especially having swapped Bottas out for Russell.
米歇尔：梅赛德斯，刘易斯·汉密尔顿/乔治罗素组合将看到梅赛德斯安全的第九团队的奖杯。
乔恩：I’ll be different and go for Red Bull. Perhaps Mercedes really do face an uphill task with the W13 and if so, Red Bull may just build too big a gap early in the season.
Henry:我提到了最可能的飞行开始为红牛，但保持梅赛德斯 - 特别是随着那个司机阵容 - 将是艰难的，所以我会回到另一个标题。
Jamie:是的......与那个汉密尔顿/罗素组合，我可以看到红牛的等待继续下去。我说，第九构造师对梅赛德斯的小跑的标题。
山姆：Even with a new driver in one of the seats, it is really hard to look past Mercedes but I think Sergio Perez found his form towards the end of last season so I would not be surprised to see the title race go down to the last few grands prix.
奥利弗：红牛，尽管持续保留佩雷斯是否可以一致地支持Verstappen。
谁将在构造师冠军上用木勺完成？（1点）
标记：Deary me, even this isn’t a guaranteed point this year. Why are we doing this? I’m still going to go with Haas but think they will score at least a point.
米歇尔：我觉得本赛季，预测P10比以往任何时候都难以从过去几个季节的底部都展示了一些令人鼓舞的赛前迹象。但我担心赛季的混乱，哈斯的可靠性问题，当然还有缺钱，最终会花费它们。
乔恩：Williams. Testing didn’t go brilliantly for them and they just seemed a bit…concerned.
Henry:Every car got a good bit of running in during testing, but I can see Haas still lagging behind – but only just.
Jamie:It is a good job that I drafted notes in my phone, or I would probably have needed to nip out to buy another notebook having changed my mind so many times on this one alone. I don’t see any team lagging this season, but Williams are my pick to prop up the standings. I see Haas tailing off as the season progresses thanks to a lack of funding, but feel their early form will yield enough points to avoid P10.
山姆：Having watched Drive to Survive and felt sorry for the many plates Guenther Steiner has to spin just to keep his team on the grid, I’m backing them to not finish last, especially with K-Mag back. In their absence, I think it will be Williams bringing up the rear.
奥利弗：威廉姆斯，无法填补乔治罗素毕业到梅赛德斯的张大洞。
Let’s have your full 2022 Constructors’ pecking order from first to last… (1 point for each correct place)
标记：梅赛德斯，红牛，法拉利，迈凯轮，阿斯顿马丁，阿尔巴风，阿尔卑斯山，阿尔法罗密欧，威廉姆斯，哈斯。
米歇尔：梅赛德斯，红牛，法拉利，阿斯顿马丁，阿尔巴风，迈凯轮，高山，威廉姆斯，阿尔法罗密欧和哈斯。
乔恩：Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Alpine, Aston Martin, AlphaTauri, Haas, Alfa Romeo, Williams.
Henry:Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari, Alpine, McLaren, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, AlphaTauri, Williams, Haas.
Jamie:Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, AlphaTauri, Aston Martin, Alpine, Haas, Alfa Romeo, Williams.
山姆：梅赛德斯，红牛，迈凯轮，法拉利，高山，阿尔巴风，阿斯顿马丁，阿尔法罗密欧，哈斯，威廉姆斯。
奥利弗：红牛，梅赛德斯，法拉利，迈凯轮，阿尔巴风，高山，阿斯顿马丁，哈斯，阿尔法罗密欧，威廉姆斯。
Onto some stand-out driver battles now…who will score more points: Hamilton or Russell? (1 point)
标记：As much as I am a big fan of George Russell and his undoubted talent, Hamilton is still going to be main man at Mercedes this year.
米歇尔：Georgie!!!
乔恩：我只是想知道是否发生了什么，自从，阿布扎比可能被证明是汉密尔顿的流域。饥饿的拉塞尔13年他的初级是瓦尔特蒂·塔塔的其他水壶。乔治得到了投票。
Henry:我可以看到2019年LECLERC VS Vettel-Esque在这里的苹果车上镦粗，但我仍然发现它难以置信，汉密尔顿在同一辆车的一年中被殴打。刘易斯为我。
Jamie:正如亨利指出的那样，与2019年法拉利的比较很清楚，而Vettel逐渐从他最好的形式慢慢滑倒，而汉密尔顿的迹象没有迹象。我认为拉塞尔将在2022年在梅赛德斯闪耀，但汉密尔顿将在得分分数中偏离它。
山姆：While it may not be the 161.5 gap it was last year, I still back Hamilton to beat his team-mate by a considerable margin.
奥利弗：Hamilton. In his desperation to make his mark, Russell will make more mistakes than is expected of a Mercedes driver and pile pressure on himself.
Leclerc or Sainz? (1 point)
标记：这非常艰难。我也可以为这个掷硬币来翻身......它正在降落在LECLERC上。
米歇尔：Last year I thought Leclerc would destroy Sainz, he didn’t. This year I’ll stick with the Monégasque driver but it will be close.
乔恩：It’s a huge year for Leclerc, could even be make or break. I’ll take him to rise to the challenge.
Henry:Sainz was so consistent in 2021 but if Leclerc has a year without bad luck and incidents (his Monaco DNS springs to mind), he should have enough this time.
Jamie:Hamilton/Russell may threaten this, but as for current proven pairings, Sainz and Leclerc I really think is the strongest team line-up in Formula 1 right now. As for which Ferrari driver triumphs in 2022, I say Sainz once again by a single-digit points margin.
山姆：Sainz对我来说，但我认为这将是非常接近的。
奥利弗：Leclerc，谁会发现他是一个更加完整的司机，在两个漫长的岁月里，在不竞争的汽车之后。
Norris or Ricciardo? (1 point)
标记：I’m jumping out of the Ricciardo hype train. Lando made me (and a few others…cough cough) look very silly last year and I can’t see Danny Ric coming back to do the same thing this year.
米歇尔：诺里斯......而且我担心Ricciardo在网格上的未来。
乔恩：Another shout for Lando. Last season didn’t go well for Ricciardo and this year has started badly too.
Henry:I’ll be the odd one out here: I’m backing Ricciardo. He outscored Norris after the summer break last year and he seems rejuvenated after finally getting to go home over winter. I reckon we’ll see the best of the Honey Badger in 2022.
Jamie:I reckon that we will see Danny Ric back to his best in 2022, but I pick the ever-improving Norris, boosted by his new contract, to narrowly win this inter-team battle again.
山姆：As much as I love Danny Ric, it seems the McLaren car is just more suited to Norris’ driving style so I’ll go with the Brit.
奥利弗：Norris, on an upward trajectory compared to his team-mate. Ricciardo will be much improved but not enough to change the way the wind is blowing at McLaren.
Alonso或Ocon？（1点）
标记：Fernando Alonso every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
米歇尔：Alonso. Silly question.
乔恩：You guys may be a tad harsh on Ocon there…he’s a race winner! But yes, agreed, Alonso is different gravy.
Henry:Ocon has grown a lot, but Alonso is still at the top of the talent tree for me. Yes, even with Lewis and Max.
Jamie:Ocon is a fantastic racing driver, but Alonso is Alonso, so I do not see him being outscored by Ocon over the season.
山姆：Mr El Plan himself, Alonso.
奥利弗：Alonso，即使在40时，山峰仍然令人惊讶。
米克或k-mag？（1点）
标记：Sorry Mick, but I think K-Mag’s experience is going to shine through here.
米歇尔：This one also hurts to answer. I want to say Mick so, so, so bad but Magnussen has speed to go with his experience. He may have been out for a year but it won’t be long before he’s showing Mick how it should be done.
乔恩：A big test for Mick and one he needs in his second year. Could be close, but the great(ish) Dane to edge it.
Henry:米克未来的法拉利凭证可以尊重今年，我会把他助攻到挑战。米克得到了我，克莱夫来了。
Jamie:米克是第二季专家。他得到了我的投票。
山姆：提供K-Mag可以避免击中他通常的每季的崩溃配额，我会回到他击败米克。
奥利弗：Magnussen, who will challenge the idea that Michael’s boy is Ferrari material.
你的一个词答案在红牛，阿尔巴风，阿斯顿马丁，阿尔法罗密欧和威廉姆斯（每一个）
标记：Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas and…Albon.
米歇尔：I think Mark has this one spot on; Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas and Albon.
乔恩：继续，只是为了不同...... Verstappen，Gasly，Sproll（！），Bottas，Albon。
Henry:Groundhog day here. Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas, Albon.
Jamie:Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas, Albon.
山姆：Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas, Albon.
奥利弗：Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Bottas, Albon.
预测驾驶员在2023赛季前进（3分）
标记：Oh yeah, no problem at all. I’m desperately looking for a way to get Oscar Piastri onto the grid somehow but I can see Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon teaming up for at least one more season. Let’s get him in at Alfa Romeo then alongside Valtteri Bottas.
米歇尔：Unless Ricciardo signs in the next month or two I fear a repeat of 2021 will see McLaren opt to put Pato O’Ward in the car for 2023. And of course Piastri has be on the 2023 grid but it won’t be with Alpine. Maybe he’ll take Ricciardo’s McLaren seat.
乔恩：现在，这很棘手。只要他在2o21中所做的那样，我会去瓦尔般的喘息的机会。
Henry:Theo Pourchaire will replace Guanyu Zhou at Alfa Romeo for 2023 as Formula 2 champion. You heard it here first.
Jamie:我说阿隆索放弃El计划和叶子上高山at the end of the season, allowing Piastri to slot into an Alpine race seat for 2023.
山姆：Verstappen to Mercedes. I’m just kidding! I think Gasly deserves to be at a top team but I don’t see an obvious spot for him right now so how about Oscar Piastri to finally make his way onto the grid. I agree with Mark and Michelle that he could be lining up for McLaren this time next year.
奥利弗：Alonso will roll the dice one last time and replace the retiring Vettel at Aston Martin, a team with more long-term potential than Alpine.
And finally…what’s your bold prediction for the 2022 season? (5 points)
标记：This planet will still exist. Oh, sorry, something F1 related…Sebastian Vettel will win a race this season. Don’t ask me how.
米歇尔：Russell将在汉密尔顿之前赢得大奖赛。
乔恩：That the only reigning or past Drivers’ World Champion on the grid at the start of 2023 will be Max Verstappen.
Henry:There won’t be an out-and-out backmarker. Every team will score at least 20 points this year.
Jamie:Mercedes will give up on their zero-pod idea.
山姆：Hamilton and Russell will crash into each other at some point.
奥利弗：As the dust settles, Michael Masi will join a team (no, not Red Bull!) in a sporting director-type role. Despite everything, there must be a huge amount of knowledge to tap into there.
