2026 Predictions + Oleo’s Chillroom

[fluid sedge]

this will serve as a discussion room for me and others to discuss anything about formula 1 + next year. i intend this to primarily be used during the offseason, but i’ll keep it active weekend by weekend 🙂

my predictions for 2026
wdc

1. russell
2. norris
3. piastri
4. alonso
5. verstappen
6. antonelli
7. stroll
8. hamilton
9. leclerc
10. hadjar
11. albon
12. sainz
13. bearman
14. gasly
15. ocon
16. colapinto
17. lawson
18. bortoleto
19. hulkenberg
20. tsunoda
21. bottas
22. perez

wcc

1. mclaren
2. mercedes
3. aston martin
4. red bull
5. ferrari
6. williams
7. haas
8. alpine
9. vcarb
10. audi
11. cadillac

providing context

1. i think mercedes will have the faster car over the course of the season; norris puts up a good fight but comes up short by 35 points in the end.
2. i do not trust ford to keep red bull in form as they are now + i dont think they’ll nail the new regs. however, hadjar will prove himself as one of the best as he’s able to bag a podium or two before rbr eventually builds around max.
3. aston martin will have the 2nd fastest engine and the best designer of all time. i think that + the way that these cars are will allow alonso and stroll to thrive.
4. i do not believe ferrari will be bad, i just think that they will be outpaced by aston and rbr over the year. hamilton will do a good job and consistently get top 6 finishes, but strategy fuckups will be a huge part. i believe vasseur gets sacked at the end of 2026.
5. i think the top 10 is very set but anything can happen in the midfield. i think williams and alpine will take big strides with their mercedes engines; but there will be a HEFTY gap between hadjar and albon in the standings. these teams from p6-8 will usually be battling for 1-2 points every race.
6. cadillac and audi are known to be behind with development; i do not expect them to be good. vcarb is just fundamentally probably not gonna be that good as well

[somber dust]

?!

stroll p7 😭

[fluid sedge]

yes

trust in aston

[sand sleet]

that p4 isnt looking good

dont give me hope please

[fluid sedge]

i believe in this team

[true dome]

this is bold

[icy tundra]

George Russell is WDC material

[true dome]

i think there will be a solid gulf between merc/mclaren and ferrari/aston

and i think redbull will have one of the falloffs of all time

[fluid sedge]

real

[true dome]

wait my dumbass forgot wcc

p5 to p8 all seperated by a very small margin, around 20 points

antonelli will have a solid season, to erase most of the skepticism surrounding him but will still be a solid way off champion russell, enough to not secure a mercedes constructors

hamilton and leclerc will be caught by a resurgent alonso late season, as aston continue car development

ferrari will start out better than aston tho

[fluid sedge]

i think the race winners will be
russell
norris
piastri
alonso
verstappen
hamilton
stroll

[true dome]

and hadjar will perform fairly well in the red bull, however the car will barely be podium-worthy, with max bagging 1 or 2 podiums and maybe a sneak win

[true dome]

i think the race winners will be
russell
norris
piastri
antonelli
verstappen
alonso
leclerc
hamilton

both ferraris will prob win atleast once

early season

[fluid sedge]

i think antonelli will bag like 5 p2s but wont win

[true dome]

i think he will win

once

stroll is not winning a race but he could bag a podium

[fluid sedge]

i think hamilton returns back to 2021 form

[fluid sedge]

listennm

if he does

its australia or canada

or any wet weather race

[true dome]

hes not winning

@fluid sedge off topic but

the stroll jinx is gonna follow me forever i swear

any time i mock stroll during a race weekend, my drivers all get cursed and stroll does ok

[true dome]

when goethe is in "need work but have potential" u know this junior field is weak compared to the best years

[oak solar]

reaching on miyata, he sucks ass in f2

wouldn’t even have him on the board

[fluid sedge]

mans got the worst engines ever

this year is a prove it year

new team better team

[oak solar]

he got 7 tenths dunked on him by martins

and the year before 7 tenths dunked on him by maloney

[fluid sedge]

i still believe

if he does shit this year then ggs

[oak solar]

i think he’s just slow as shit and super formula is overrated tbh but we’ll see

[true dome]

oh yeah why is miyata up there

id have him in tier 4 or low tier 3

his record in f2 is horrible

like bro

wtf is this shit

[fluid sedge]

worst engine ever

like deadass his engine luck is awful

[true dome]

check #formula-1

[true dome]

we will see how he does this season

[oak solar]

Aston martin could easily be 3rd but you forgetting stroll

if AMR got rid of lance aston could fight in the top 3

[fluid sedge]

mfw i lie

[little egret]

All I know is George is winning

[fluid sedge]

Red Bull's strategy chief, Will Courtenay, has started work with McLaren as sporting director.

This move has come a few months ahead of his contract ending, which was in mid-2026.

rbr falling apart

schmitz is probably next after gp

@true dome this is a big loss for williams too

[sand sleet]

hannah come to aston hannah..

[true dome]

aston are getting staff left and right jeez

seriously if aston r able to manage all this well, they can be a frontrunning force

[tropic oyster]

They change people around too quickly think they've lost like 7 different senior roles last year

[fluid sedge]

Hello, I’m with some more news from inside the paddock!

Honda’s main focus is to capitalize battery output, as that will be what they aim to be superior in. This differentiates from Ferrari who is rumored to utilize a better cooling system allowing for less weight and more performance. No updates on mercedes, audi, or rbpt-ford yet.

[little egret]

Honda are looking quick tho

[robust glade]

another picture of the Honda engine dropped

[fluid sedge]

F4UAE talents to watch out for:

Andy Consani
Aleksander Bondarev
Christian Costoya
Kenzo Craigie

[fluid sedge]

audi officially sign freddie slater

[robust glade]

Actually exciting

Slater/Bortoleto duo will be interesting to see

[fluid sedge]

oh brother

[oak solar]

sleeping on briatore

say what you want about the guy but he’s won championships

[true dome]

komatsu respect W

vowles woulda been higher if i made a list but hes really giving me fraud vibes rn

[fluid sedge]

https://oleof1.substack.com/p/freddie-slater-scouting-report

no way whats this

[fluid sedge]

@oak solar @true dome

[oak solar]

outright floor to stroll or hulkenberg

wrap it up

[fluid sedge]

is true though

sometimes insane junior talents dont translate the best to f1

however with that being said im way more confident he will hit his skill ceiling than be closer to his floor

[true dome]

subscribed

[true dome]

i mean its floor so

it doesnt mean thats actually what his skill level will translate to in f1

[oak solar]

its more that it implies stroll and hulkenberg are the same calibre of driver

[true dome]

oh yeah

thats uh

a very oleo take

[true dome]

saying his outright floor is similar to hulkenberg or ocon would be more fair

[fluid sedge]

outright ≠ immediate in that context

and i say that more because he has similar strengths to stroll and hulkenberg; wet weather & race pace

what would make it more clear @oak solar

[oak solar]

just saying one driver

like realistically slater’s floor is a solid midfielder

so say one solid midfielder

[fluid sedge]

[waxen otter]

[hexed creek]

too early to predict

[fluid sedge]

i'd say i am

[hexed creek]

must wait until after bahrain testing

[waxen otter]

nuh uh

[fluid sedge]

this forum was made in december

[robust glade]

i hope hes really really good I can't wait to see him at audi

[true dome]

@fluid sedge

[cosmic gull]

Ferrari 6-7? Stroll ahead of both Williams?

Not saying it's impossible but kinda tough to believe

[true dome]

whats crazy about ferrari 6-7

also im trying to unjinx the curse i put on williams

[cosmic gull]

Alonso might have something to say and I doubt those above them will have a 100% smooth run, plus, it's 6-7

[true dome]

alonso and hamilton are interchangeable

[cosmic gull]

I realistically see Russell, Norris and Verstappen on the top 3

No order

Kimi and Oscar for P4 and P5

[true dome]

fair

I think rb will struggle early

[cosmic gull]

That's what Mekies suggested

But I believe they'll find a solution

More precisely, Max will

[true dome]

williams depends on if they can get their shit together

id have them p10 p11 but

[true dome]

vowles needs to revive his brain 🙏

[fading vortex]

why is yuki on this list instead of Arvid Lindblad

[fading vortex]

I was gonna say

[cosmic gull]

Alonso P4?

Everyone point and laugh

[fluid sedge]

wheres my updated ones

[true dome]

i had alonso above them in my original predictions

but im skeptical of honda PU

so p8 it is

he could beat lewis

[cosmic gull]

Honda was successful from 2021-2024

[cosmic gull]

Stroll ahead of both Ferrari's is enough bait

[fluid sedge]

no its not

[true dome]

@fluid sedge opinions?

[fading vortex]

Yuki was confirmed as being dropped in early december. I just checked

I knew I wasn't crazy

[cosmic gull]

Even in 2020 when Racing Point had the pink Mercedes and Ferrari had a tractor Stroll had to yield to one of them

[fluid sedge]

If gasly beats stroll in the wdc i’ll genuinely kill myself

[true dome]

ok cool

[cosmic gull]

Saving this for December

[fluid sedge]

Strolls gonna take a 8 point lead in australia and then never look back

[fading vortex]

I think Haas is going to be better than that but that's just me

[fluid sedge]

I think ocon is pretty washed + I still have questions about the ferrari engine

[fading vortex]

The Ferrari engine did a lot of laps

[true dome]

from albon in p12 yes

[fading vortex]

I think it's at least reliable

[true dome]

eh

[fluid sedge]

Vasseur said they were taking risks with their engine

Risks never work

[oak solar]

[true dome]

its not that haas will be super bad its that alpine williams AMR will be better

[fading vortex]

I think Alpine is going to be further down

[fluid sedge]

With ferrari at least

[fading vortex]

Well actually

Alpine has the Mercedes PU

I didn't think about that

[true dome]

tossup with williams for p6

but someone stole vowles’s brain

so alpine p6

[fluid sedge]

Alpine has the mercedes engine but one mid driver and one shit driver + the worst staff in the entire sport + questionable aero

[fluid sedge]

Who let @oak solar design the williams😭✌️

[true dome]

ocon over 2020 perez seems very off

although ocon was still in form in 2023

aside from that it all checks out

[cosmic gull]

Yeah Ocon wasn't better than 2020 Perez

Not during his time with Gasly at least

[true dome]

2022 ocon maybe you could make a case

but 2023 and 2024 idek

[oak solar]

He was for sure

He didn’t get worse between 2022 and 2023

🚨 BORTOLETO ON HULKENBERG: Its a special relationship, I remember once I helped him with the engine braking into a corner and he said "Why would you tell me that knowing I can beat you?" I said what difference does it make if we p19, p20. We now share our data and we open.

Ferrari wasn’t considered midfield by the writers tbf

It was very optimistic to expect them to be competitive in 2021

Considering that 2021 cars had 2020 chassis but modified ones

@oak solar @true dome @cosmic gull

[cosmic gull]

Kinda bold of you to assume Sainz will mop the floor with Albon that easily and that Charles will downgrade from 2025

But we'll have to wait and see

I also think Antonelli will be a little bit closer to George

Not enough to be a direct threat, but closer than 2025

[fluid sedge]

i think he'll be up there

hes just gonna get outperformed

[cosmic gull]

Antonelli will be 4th in the WDC

Top 3 is interchangeable between Russell, Norris and Verstappen

Norris will either give George a hard time like Max and Lewis gave each other in 2021 or will just be a distant rival like Leclerc in 2022

However, judging by 2025, Russell would run away with it if it happened to be between them

[oak solar]

Stroll outqualifying Alonso 4 times yeah no

2026 Formula 1 Predictions
Constructors Championship
Mercedes
McLaren Mercedes
Ferrari
Red Bull Ford
Alpine Mercedes
Williams Mercedes
Aston Martin Honda
Haas Ferrari
Racing Bulls Ford
Audi
Cadillac Ferrari

Drivers Championship
G. Russell (Wins H2H)
L. Norris (Wins H2H)
M. Verstappen (Wins H2H)
K. Antonelli
C. Leclerc (Wins H2H)
O. Piastri
L. Hamilton
I. Hadjar
P. Gasly (Wins H2H)
C. Sainz (Wins H2H)
A. Albon
F. Alonso (Wins H2H)
F. Colapinto
O. Bearman (Wins H2H)
L. Lawson (Wins H2H)
E. Ocon
N. Hulkenberg (Wins Race H2H)
G. Bortoleto (Wins Qualify H2H)
L. Stroll
A. Linblad
S. Perez (Win Race H2H)
V. Bottas (Wins Qualify H2H)

Generally Speaking I think GR will win the Championship Norris will be an outside threat same with Verstappen I think Ferrari will start the season as the 2nd best team. and McLaren and RB kinda on the backfoot but eventually overtaking/catching up to ferrari by the end, I think Alpine will cook this year and Gaslt gets a lot of big points howver Colapinto walks away with an unexpected podium! Williams will be good but not really till the 2nd half, I think Aston will start out being the 9th best team but with all the upgrades will beat haas and racing bulls in the end I see Linblad having an Antonelli 2025 esq season and I think will see Piastri fall off hard this season sadly as I really like Piastri 😭 but I just don't see him performing better at all

I think will see Russell win around like Double Digit races and hill get a repeat win in Vegas and Austria| Ant wins a sprint race + 2 nomral races and gets like 4 poles but cant really hold them well which is fine he is learning still, Norris will get like 6 wins and Verstappen like 3 and Leclerc like 2 with Piastri with 1 win

[true dome]

it was great until "colapinto podium"

gasly podium is on the cards if alpine are competitve

not colapinto

ive noticed that gasly performs well when the car is fairly good (when its bad he performs badly)

colapinto stays around the same

otherwise pretty solid predictions, id say that alonso and aston in general could be a bit higher

i have confidence in them

[bitter basalt]

tbh i agree with the gasly ofc he is the better driver but i just got a hunch

i think the alonso signs a 1+1 deal for 27 and the aston car is top level in 27

i just think since their behind on schedule it will take them about half the year to catch up

[true dome]

i think me and oleos predictions have been cooked bc of aston

im saving my final predictions for

after 2nd test

[tropic oyster]

I'm sure the car is great or at least decent but honda really seemed to have nerfed everything 💔

[true dome]

do we live in the haas best of the midfield timeline

istg

williams and aston are experts at shooting themselves in the foot

[tropic oyster]

Even alpine is managing decent times 💔

[true dome]

finna be bearman v gasly for p9 every race

[tropic oyster]

Williams brought the eye things to distract from the car

[tropic oyster]

P11 merchant vs the french one midfield battle of the century 🙏 😔

[true dome]

williams are in a very

williams place rn

they dont exactly seem great but we dont know how bad they could be either

[tropic oyster]

All eyes too australia

[true dome]

australia q1 is the moment

why q1 you may ask

one of these teams is dropping it at the first hurdle

[tropic oyster]

Another round of stroll q1 exit maxxing

[robust glade]

you still think Aston will be up there?

[true dome]

AMR delusion

alpine will prob also be better

[cosmic gull]

It'd be a miracle if Alonso makes the top 12, let alone Stroll

Stroll will likely be P17-P19

[true dome]

p18 probs

alonso like

13th

aston will get better by seasons end

[cosmic gull]

Piastri and Antonelli both being ahead of Verstappen is also very bold

[true dome]

we dont rlly know the redbulls pace

[cosmic gull]

Since they are inexperienced and not as error-proof as him

Plus it's Verstappen

The best driver on the grid as of now

[true dome]

waittt

i see what oleos predicting here

[cosmic gull]

According to Mekies they may struggle at the start

[true dome]

hes predicting aston have a mclaren 2023 moment

[true dome]

id put max like p4 or p3

idk which one

i have a feeling ferrari could be better than 6-7 but

its ferrar

[cosmic gull]

https://tenor.com/view/push-gif-5358918

[true dome]

wait no

they cant beat antonelli

[cosmic gull]

Verstappen will finish higher than P5

[true dome]

maybe piastri if leclercs lucky

what if piastri js has a bad year and finishes p6

low grip

[cosmic gull]

If the Mercedes is good then Ferrari stands no chance yeah

[molten cargo]

Hulkenchampionship

[true dome]

ima wait to 2nd bahrain test before predictions

[true dome]

[fluid sedge]

Get out of my thread😭✌️

[true dome]

ok so

you think aston are mclaren 2023

[fluid sedge]

yes

[true dome]

i think they are haas 2025

[true dome]

they will get better but not

be that good

[true dome]

yk what @fluid sedge \

ive changed my opinion on aston a little

i think by the end of 2025 they will lead the midfield but still finish like p8 in the constructors bc of early struggles

then have a very good launching pad into 27

[oak solar]

top 5s in all motorsport before seasons start

f1

1. Russell
2. Hamilton
3. Leclerc
4. Antonelli
5. Verstappen

f2

1. Camara
2. Dunne
3. Beganovic
4. Tsolov
5. Herta

f3

1. Slater
2. Ugochukwu
3. Stromsted
4. Nael
5. De Palo

indycar

1. O’Ward

wec

1. #7 TGR
2. #51 Ferrari
3. #8 TGR
4. #83 AF Corse
5. #50 Ferrari

ill do freca when the grid drops and formula e has started so it feels like cheating

[cosmic gull]

@true dome Thoughts now that testing is officially over?

[sharp scroll]

Mercedes
Ferrari
Mclaren
Red Bull
Williams
Alpine
Hass
Aston Martin
Audi
Cadillac
Racing Bulls

[true dome]

so the approximate running order is

merc ferrari mcl rbr haas alpine williams audi vcarb cadillac aston

AMR had the most farcical testing week

gearbox failure leading to a spin and crash on day 1, slightly less off the pace tho

day 2 miles off the pace and an engine failure

day 3 literally running out of parts to fix the car

I think the car itself is faster than like caddy

but they can’t run it without it breaking

[cosmic gull]

1. Russell
2. Norris
3. Verstappen
4. Antonelli
5. Piastri
6. Leclerc
7. Hamilton
8. Hadjar
9. Bearman
10. Sainz
11. Alonso
12. Albon
13. Gasly
14. Lawson
15. Ocon
16. Hulkenberg
17. Bortoleto
18. Colapinto
19. Stroll
20. Lindblad
21. Bottas
22. Perez

@true dome Not final, but how does it look?

[true dome]

Alonso p11?

[cosmic gull]

Honda

Or are you saying he should be lower?

[true dome]

I’m surprised he’d be up in p11

I’d put him 13th or smth

swap him w Gasly

[cosmic gull]

Gasly won't do that good

Bearman has massive potential though

Hopefully I haven't jinxed him

[oak solar]

Underrating Ferrari tbh

[true dome]

gcl has too much ptsd

to put them any higher

[oak solar]

I mean

A Ferrari driver has finished in the top 5 of the world championship every single year since 1993

Excluding 2020 and 2014

And 2009 but ass drivers so doesnt count

[cosmic gull]

Yeah but thing is, competition is too strong at the top

You have Mercedes and McLaren who will be better suited than Ferrari

And then you have Verstappen who will almost certainly have his say

Either way I can't realistically see them above 6th for the time being

Virutas de Goma™ (@VirutasF1)

Después de hablar con gente durante todo el día, llegas a tres conclusiones:

1: La F1 real no tiene nada que ver con lo que nos llega por los medios, nada

2: Newey es un tío muy complicado

3: De Aston Martin va a salir gente antes de finalizar el año

Doesn't finish in the first 6 of 7 races 😭
