      IT'S RAWE CEEK! Welcome back to Formula 1, everyone! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the various holidays and having a normal sleep schedule on the weekends over the last few months. That said, I don't need F1 to mess with my weekend sleeping plans 😴

      I meant to post earlier in the week about predictions for 2026, but I forgot/got busy/slept, so guess I'll just ask some here.

      1. Who will win this first race?
      2. Will our sole rookie this year, Arvin Lindblad (Racing Bulls), podium this year?
      3. Will Niko Hulkenberg get another podium?
      4. Will we hear Fernando Alonso scream about a "GP2 Engine" again?
      5. Which team wins the Constructors Championship?
      6. Does Lando Norris successfully defend his championship?
      7. If not, who wins the Drivers Championship?

      Feel free to add any other predictions!
