00:00Our predictions for the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.

00:21This video is sponsored by the wonderful people over at Squarespace.

00:26The first predictions episode has arrived.

00:31We are ready to drop some serious heat and let's begin with a good surprise.

00:39My good surprise, Tom Bellingham, not you, you're not a good surprise, you're always

00:45surprisingly beautiful, is Max Verstappen.

00:50Because everyone's written him off and more recently as well Max has said the car's not

00:55going to be there, they're going to be taking a few races to get up to speed, all of this

01:00stuff.

01:01But the thing is, there's two things, one, it's Max Verstappen and I do genuinely believe

01:08he's going to be right up there, but two, there's rain forecast for Sunday right now,

01:16which is ridiculous.

01:17Not a lot of rain and it is still going to be quite warm so whether that will actually

01:20affect the track conditions we'll have to wait and see, but even a podium I would genuinely

01:28be fighting for a good surprise here because everyone thinks he's going to be absolutely

01:32finished and maybe a few days after the end of the 2024 season I also believe that.

01:38But then I woke up and if he is terrible then you're welcome.

01:42Okay so my good surprise is Carlos Sainz.

01:47It's a track that Carlos goes well at, he'll have got a lot of motivation going into the

01:53new season, looked mighty in testing, and we all know that testing times are 100% accurate

02:01so he will probably battle for pole position because he did the fastest testing time.

02:06And yeah, I'm going for a Carlos good surprise.

02:12We now go to a big flop.

02:18Kimi Antonelli.

02:19Oh get up.

02:20Yeah, we're starting strong, we're starting big, we're starting, we're starting I think

02:26well with this one.

02:27Now of course it is his first race so it has to be, has to be pretty bad I would say for

02:34it to be a big flop because you have to give Kimi some room to grow and I hope he does

02:41Of course, may I remind you all if this is your first predictions episode, this is all

02:46based on vibes.

02:48We know he's got a little cheeky error in him, not from testing though, so perhaps he

02:53will fight against the flop but that is a, that is a, that's a wide sense, but the thing

03:00is he will, he will have a lot of things to contend with and another thing is the fact

03:04I flopped him so I'm really sorry.

03:06So my big flop is...

03:15I could see your mouth wobble as well.

03:19Okay try again.

03:22Okay a big flop I've gone for Fernando Alonso.

03:27I think it's going to be very tough for Aston Martin based on their form in testing, they've

03:31not looked great unless in the seven days Adrian Newey's been there, he has put some

03:37amazing aero pieces on that make them four seconds a lot quicker, I think they're going

03:41to have a tough time so I've gone for Fernando.

03:44We now go to pole position.

03:48My pole position, my P1 from Saturday is Charles Leclerc, I'm so bad, no I just, these aren't

03:58absolute write-offs in qualifying and Ferrari were quick over one lap last year, Charles

04:04Leclerc is mighty over one lap as we know, 2022 dominated Australia, can we have that

04:09again please?

04:10Absolutely.

04:11So yeah it's not out of the realms of possibility, I think qualifying is going to be good and

04:16close this year, it's just whether that race pace is going to be there as well for Ferrari

04:21which has not been the case over the course of a season for a very long time so yeah I'm

04:26still going Michel, pole position.

04:28Pole position I have gone for Lando Norris, it backed up my theory even before we saw

04:33testing, the McLaren are going to be very very quick this year, have nothing to lose

04:39kind of go absolutely all in on this season to try and get both championships and I think

04:45they're going to be the team that come out the blocks firing so and Lando of course was

04:50on great form at the end of the year with his kind of performance in Abu Dhabi and he's

04:56always looked very quick in qualifying compared to his teammates so gone for Lando.

06:01Okay we now go to our top three in the race, we'll begin with third, my P3, Charlotte

06:08Clark, there will not be the pole to victory and that's no disrespect to him, that's just

06:15I feel I'm scared of the McLaren's race pace but I'm also scared of potential changeable

06:22conditions potentially, but look this is where I've put him, it's not a lot to judge

06:26on right now so it is very much just sticking your finger in the air and seeing where the

06:30wind's blowing and then going the opposite of that sometimes with our predictions so

06:33that's where I'm going P3 Charlotte, P3 I've gone for Lewis Hamilton, gone for a little

06:41podium on debut for Ferrari and yeah excited to see what what he can do on his debut with

06:49Ferrari, there'll be a lot of pressure but he rises to pressure as we know so, he steely

06:54rises indeed, I really hope your top two are including a certain individual otherwise we're

07:01gonna we're gonna be having some serious discussions, second place Lando Norris, Lando's gonna finish

07:11P2, gonna be a very strong McLaren but I am putting some eggs in some baskets so that's

07:18where I'm going with this one P2 Lando Norris, P2 I have gone for Lando Norris as well I think

07:24he's gonna have a very good weekend still just you just never never know and I think Australia

07:31as well always does throw a bit of a curveball even though it's one of those tracks that's

07:37difficult to overtake and maybe this is the nostalgia speaking but when Melbourne was the

07:43the opening race of the season it was a would tend to throw a bit of chaos and surprise particularly

07:51well forget some rain that'd be tasty indeed that would be very tasty P1 not with Matt and Tommy P1

07:58the Australian Grand Prix is for me Max Verstappen, Max wins the opening race of the season drops a

08:06couple of middle fingers to everybody and refuses to elaborate and leaves so that's that's Max

08:12Verstappen I do I feel it everyone will be questioning how on earth has he done it including

08:19ourselves and this might well be very wrong when he finishes P6 okay so P1 I've gone for Bosco

08:27Piastri I think McLaren are gonna be unbelievably quick I don't think they're gonna be like

08:32completely dominant but I think they're gonna have a very good start to the season and it will show

08:37that could see him locking out the front row and Piastri with this home crowd of course be a lot

08:45of pressure but he's a bit of an ice man I think Oscar Piastri he's not gonna be nervous it's not

08:51gonna get nervous about kind of leading a race so you've gone for a home win for Oscar Piastri

08:58in first race of the season interesting stuff we now move to a brand new segment the family top

09:06three let's see if my dad picks up here we go it's like he wants to be a millionaire

09:15good afternoon Christopher Gallagher you are live on the P1 podcast and you are here for the family

09:29top three for the first time ever this is on the P1 podcast predictions so I will need your top

09:37three starting in third position who do you have down in third please I have Max Verstappen second

09:45place George Russell okay George Russell P2 in the Mercedes that we haven't even mentioned Mercedes

09:51fair enough and your winner please okay Orlando George Max podium how confident are you in this

10:01okay fair enough dad thank you so much for appearing on the podcast I was gonna say you

10:11could say hello to everyone else as well but you know just tell me okay there you go thank you dad

10:15love you bye bye okay here we go hello oh yeah I should probably give context straight away that

10:27my dad calls me Fred you're live on the P1 podcast so now everyone knows that you call me Fred but

10:33it's fine we'll we'll roll with it I need your top three for the Australian Grand Prix okay

10:39okay Norris interesting P2 Leclerc okay Matt's looking Matt's doing a big thumbs up right now

10:52I'll take that and P1 Piastri okay we've gone for the double Bellingham Piastri prediction Wow

11:02okay I've also gone for Piastri so I hope we're right because Matt's told me that this is actually

11:09gonna score me points so I hope you've hope these are gonna be right all right thanks dad all right

11:18speak to you soon bye can we I think people need the backstory of why on earth you're called Fred

11:23please because I genuinely don't know my dad's just always called me Freddy since I was a literal

11:30baby you know those things that just don't make sense and then until you think about it but until

11:35then when that just happened I was like oh my god that no one knows why I'm called Freddy from my

11:41dad but it's like just so normal I thought he called you a frappe for a minute I thought it was some sort of coffee

11:46anyway let's decide live on the podcast is this a family versus family points tally but which isn't

11:53to do with our own predictions and we just say at the end who has won as a family or does it all

11:59come in one prediction tally yeah yeah let us know in the comments what what you think and let's go

12:04to our one crazy prediction my one crazy prediction is we have three different or more three or more

12:11different drivers lead the race at some point yes please yeah just sign me up there you go that's

12:18mine doesn't need any more I'm just praying I'm just praying for like the best season ever we're

12:23finishing with the top five separated by ten seconds sign me up my one crazy prediction it's

12:30no surprise it's about one particular individual and it's Kimi Antonelli how it qualifies to address

12:35on his debut okay okay this I feel like this Kimi obsession is gonna be similar to Charlotte Claire

12:47for me this year well my logic is you know if he's half a second off in the Australian Grand Prix I

12:56can you know I can stop predicting it but well well there's no kind of we don't know what's

13:03gonna happen I can go full delusion all right interesting let's go to the final segment of this

13:09predictions podcast which is our patreon prediction so if you're not aware of this if you're part of

13:14our wonderful patreon and you support us you are firstly incredible and secondly you get to have a

13:19prediction thrown into the mix on discord we will then pick one from that to have as our own

13:24prediction my one is from Erin one of the rookies causes a red flag so I feel like if I could get

13:32two birds with one stone with this big flop and that perfect my patron prediction is from Tony

13:41Soprano points for Jack Dewan so yes he's got a good car underneath him still probably quite bold

13:51to go that Jack Dewan will get a point based on maybe his limited experience but I think the

13:57Alpine will be quite good at the start of the year so I think he really needs to hit the ground

14:01running doesn't he and take that the opportunity now because I think we could well see Alpine the

14:08strongest that they'll ever be all season I think straight out the blocks Oh Tommy it feels good it

14:14feels it feels like slipping on an old pair of I was gonna say slippers but I just said slipping

14:21so that doesn't sound very good does it pop it on an old dressing gown God knows where I'm going

14:26with this but it feels comfortable all the same we've got Frank coming in the room as well for

14:30some final words let's see he had to be in the video he's such a star of the show I know right

14:39Frank in form of yawning will Oscar piastri win your one if so no Lando Norris well there you go

14:51and oh there we go it's prediction is Lando lovely stuff thank you very much Frank I don't know that

14:57came out correctly thank you very much Frank there we go I'm trying to remember how to speak at the

15:01moment we can't wait for it will be live on YouTube and twitch this weekend on Saturday and Sunday so
