McLaren: Norris 60% - 40% Piastri
Lando Norris currently holds the lead at McLaren, having outperformed Oscar Piastri in the previous season. However, the early races could tip the balance, especially with Piastri's home advantage in Melbourne. McLaren's management of this dynamic will be crucial.
Ferrari: Hamilton 55% - 45% Leclerc
Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari has reshaped the team's hierarchy. While Charles Leclerc remains a key figure, Hamilton's presence and track record suggest a shift in focus. Ferrari's strategy in managing these two talents will be pivotal.
Red Bull: Verstappen 95% - 5% Lawson

Pierre Gasly leads Alpine decisively, with rookie Jack Doohan under significant pressure to prove his worth early in the season.
Haas: Ocon 75% - 25% Bearman

Williams: Sainz 50% - 50% Albon
Carlos Sainz brings a wealth of experience to Williams, but Alex Albon's long-standing association with the team ensures a balanced dynamic.
Sauber: Hülkenberg 60% - 40% Bortoleto
