The Formula 1 season is in full swing and even Max Verstappen’s legendary nerve will likely have been touched after a famous Charles Leclerc victory at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton is stuttering in a messy divorce from Toto Wolff and Mercedes but with one eye on his future teammate, the seven-time World Champion will know it’s only a matter of time until he dons the iconic red jumpsuit next season.
Australian drivers Oscar Piastri and Daniel Ricciardo are enjoying mixed seasons at McLaren and Visa Cash App Red Bull, respectively, occupying 6th and 12th in the Formula 1 Driver Standings.

Predictions for 2024 according to DMARGE staff.

Lando will win another 2 races this year. Oscar will win 1. Max and Charles will take it down to the final few races, but Max will win his fourth world championship.

For all the talk that Formula 1 has become too predictable, we’ve just had four different race winners for the first time in, well forever. Max Verstappen will likely come back with a vengeance and the three-time Formula 1 champion is a shoo-in for his fourth consecutive title. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc push him right to the end, with the former taking every opportunity to audition for one of the grid’s most coveted seats.
