Also, news was released of Cyril leaving Renault yesterday, it was previously expected that he would transition to a different role but still remain with Renault

Predictions? Will Ferarri be able to take back their role as consistent challenger to MBZ or will they languish mid-pack? Will Vettel find redemption now that he's no longer driving for them? Will Kimi make it through another season? Will it be another season of Max vs Lewis (and sometimes Valteri) or will things get shook up?

DISCUSS.
