It's hard to count out MBZ, as Hamilton is magic in the racecraft department, we'll see what Russell is made out of on race day with that pile under him. But then, he did used to drive a Williams.....
I call the manufactures like this;
Ferrari - best two driver combo and best looking car
(Carlos needs better consistency)
Red Bull - second best two drivers (Perez needs more Sunday speed)
MBZ - third best drivers (although if Russel can turn into Mr. Sunday then who knows)
Drivers;
Leclerc wins over Max (if Ferrari can keep it together)
Sentimentals;
Haas 5th overall (requires that the second driver improves substantially)
Valeri beats Russell in the championship (serious long shot)
