We went driver-by-driver through our 2026 championship predictions, ranking all 22 drivers from worst to first. Lots of disagreement on where drivers will land, especially around Aston Martin (Alex thinks they're doomed, Brandon has more faith), Red Bull's Isaac Hadjar, and whether Haas can actually challenge for podiums.

We also made our Australian GP predictions for pole position, podium finishes, fastest lap, and how many cars will actually finish the race. Spoiler: we're expecting some chaos in Melbourne.

• Complete driver championship rankings (22nd to 1st)
• Australian GP weekend prediction
• Alex thinks both Aston Martins will start from the pit lane
• Alex also predicts only 11 cars will finish the Australian GP
• One of us has Esteban Ocon finishing 3rd in the championship
