Time to get this rolling.

I'll bet that Bottas won't win any races where Hamilton also finishes. If I'm correct, the loser must use this for one month after the season is over:

Any takers?

I already made a bet someway back with Klon that Räikkönen would finish higher than Vettel in the standings in 2017. So bring on 2017 :P

Ericsson will finish above Wehrlein in the Championship, assuming that both complete at least 75% of the season.

I'll take that bet.

When Williams beats them, you'll be wearing this;

If I'm allowed to have two bets at once:

Anyone willing to take me on for this bet?

Mercedes will have cooling issues due to their size zero packaging, resulting in retirements or heavily compromised pace in at least three races.

To be honest, we've heard Mercedes having plenty of problems mid-race for the last 2 seasons over the team radio and yet they still blitzed everyone.

Absolutely wonderful - I must admit, I didn't expect him to win either, and took up the bet for the thrill of it. Now, for the avatar, I proudly present - Hillary Finnton (Ataxia, 2017):

I'm at least glad that Räikönnen is well on his way to destroying Vettel in the championship this year...

I lost it. No way Renault is going to win the race, even if Hamilton return to his 2008-2012 persona.

At least Palmer will not escape from ROTY.
