    No, I don't believe in paying any attention to the sandbagging that goes
    on in testing.

    Yes, it's a boring prediction, but:

    1. They have something to prove
    2. There is anecdotal evidence that the push to get the WDC compromised
    Red Bull's preparations for 2022
    3. I can't see the rest catching up with both Mercedes and Red Bull

    so...

    WDC: Lewis Hamilton
    WCC: Mercedes
