Mercedes: The team to beat for the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship this year. F1 W11 EQ Power+ looks fast in testing (fastest in testing). Lewis Hamilton looks to retain his title. While, Valtteri Bottas retains for another season.
Ferrari: Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc are retain for another season. SF1000 looks fast and reliable in testing. Challenging for both championships is a must for Ferrari.
Red Bull: Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon are retain for another season. RB16 looks fast in testing, If the RB16 is on the right track Red Bull will shine. Verstappen fighting for the Drivers' title is a must. Also, top two in the constructors' standings must be their target at Red Bull this season.
McLaren: Carlos Sainz, Jr and Lando Norris are retain for another season. Last season with Renault before returning to Mercedes power in 2021. McL35 looks fast in testing. McLaren will be a contender for podiums, fourth in the Constructors' standings once again might be the realistic target for McLaren this season.
Renault: Out goes Nico Hulkenberg in comes Esteban Ocon alongside Daniel Ricciardo for another season. R.S.20 look fast in testing. A few podiums may happen this season and fourth in the Constructors' standings might be the realistic target for Renault this season.
Alpha Tauri: Out goes both Toro Rosso name, in comes Alpha Tauri. Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat are retain for another season. Fifth in the Constructors' standings might be the realistic target for Alpha Tauri this season.
Racing Point: Sergio Pérez and Lance Stroll are retain for another season. Last season with the Racing Point name before Aston Martin name in 2021. RP20(if not similar looking to last seasons Mercedes) looks fast in testing, and possible for Racing Point to finish inside the top five of the constructors' standings this season.
Alfa Romeo: Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Raikkonen are retain for another season. Sixth in the Constructors' standings might be the realistic target for Alfa Romeo this season.
Haas: Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean are retain for another season. Sixth in the Constructors' standings might be the realistic target for Haas this season.
Williams: Out goes Robert Kubica in comes Nicholas Latifi alongside George Russell for another season. FW43 looks much faster than last seasons car FW42, not finishing last in the constructors' standings must be their target this season at Williams which won't be easy, although it can't be worse than 2019 season only scoring one point.
So predictions time, who's going to win the World Drivers' Championship this season for 2020? My prediction is Lewis Hamilton for his seventh World Drivers' Championships this season because of performance and reliability in testing. The improvements from Mercedes might be enough for Hamilton to win this seasons title.
But, if Hamilton doesn't step up Max Verstappen could take his first World Drivers' Title if things goes his way. Don't count out either Valtteri Bottas, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel as the dark horses for this season title if both Hamilton and Verstappen struggle. It could be close drivers' championship in my opinion, despite Mercedes look fast in testing.
My top three prediction for the Drivers' Championship are:
1st Lewis Hamilton
2nd Max Verstappen
3rd Charles Leclerc
Constructors' Championship: I will predict that Mercedes will win the constructors championships. And don't forget Ferrari and Red Bull, they will be certainly be challenging the constructors championship as-well.
My top three prediction for the Constructors' Championship are:
1st Mercedes
2nd Red Bull
3rd Ferrari
