Lando Norris – P3
First up is Lando Norris, and I’m predicting a podium finish. I’m going with P3 for Lando. I think Lando has a great chance of putting himself into the fight at the front, particularly if McLaren can get the car dialled in early in the weekend. Qualifying could be extremely important. If Lando can get himself near the front of the grid on Saturday, I think he'll have the pace to stay in the battle throughout the race and, of course, anything can happen once the lights go out. Could Lando even challenge for the win if an opportunity comes his way? I certainly wouldn't rule it out.
My prediction: Lando Norris – P3
Oscar Piastri – P5
Next up, we've got Oscar Piastri. For Oscar, I'm predicting another strong points finish with P5. I expect Oscar to be involved in the fight towards the front of the field, and if he has a strong qualifying session, there's every chance he could finish even higher. Strategy could also play a huge part in his weekend. If McLaren gets the calls right and Oscar can look after his tyres, he could potentially find himself challenging for the podium but I'm sticking with P5 for my official prediction.
My prediction: Oscar Piastri – P5
Can McLaren Deliver in Madrid?
So there we have it.
My predictions for the Papaya boys are:
Lando Norris — P3
Oscar Piastri — P5
A Lando podium and a double top-five finish would be a pretty strong result for McLaren but this is Formula 1. Strategy, Safety Cars, weather, reliability and one tiny mistake can completely change a Grand Prix. That's exactly why we watch. Now it's over to you. Where do you think Lando and Oscar will finish in Madrid? Let me know your predictions and come back after the race to see whether we got them right! Until then…
Papaya Pitwall — Lights out. More to talk about.
