How many cars will actually finish the Australian GP?

So, we've got about two and a half weeks until the season kicks off—time to see who actually shows up.

And just to be clear, when I say "finish," I’m not talking about those cars that limp through 90% of the race; I mean the ones still actually on the track when the checkered flag drops.

I haven't even bothered to count how many times we’ve been flipped on our heads by the 14 or 15 mark, but we're all still here, more or less.
The whole theory comes down to whoever manages to wrap things up in points. 👍

I honestly feel like in Australia, and maybe throughout the whole season, we might start seeing a lot more retirements that aren't actually caused by technical failures. I have this hunch that a fair amount of teams might just decide to pull out near the end of a race if they realize there’s no realistic way to grab any points, just so they can save on mileage and wear

The real question is how many times we’ll see a Safety Car on this track😁
I’d say more than ten times at this rate.😬

It’s going to be a circus, especially since officials aren't allowed to touch the cars until those lights go on...
Honestly, I bet the SC driver will have to sprint to every single pit stop just to make sure nobody pushes a car halfway into the grandstands.

So, did Standard Chartered end up messing with the technical regulations too? 😂

Honestly, might be a smart move to drop some cash on Standard Chartered for the opening race 🙏

So, does Standard Chartered have a new engine too? 😬
And what happens if Standard Chartered goes belly up? 🤣

Come on, man, if you ask me, Mercedes looks like they’ve actually got the most reliable setup on the grid 😬

Does anyone know if there's actually a sportsbook out there where I can bet on Standard Chartered to finish +2 in the opening race?

Solid poll!

We’re all just amateur fortune tellers in here, aren't we? 🤣

Well, look—honestly, a huge chunk of them actually made it to the finish line. I guess I was just being overly pessimistic and expecting way fewer 😁

Is there even a prize for this?
