The mid-pack teams really are interesting this year.

Even Williams has a point. And near as I can tell they don't actually finish races. Haas is managing to not embarrass itself but that's mostly just a product of not have Mezispin anymore. I am a little surprised by how completely ineffective Schumacher has been, though.

Alpine and McLaren are likely to have a heck of a fight for 4th this year. It may come down to Ricciardo vs. Alonso. And while I think Alonso's probably the better pure driver at this point, Ricciardo has 2-3 races every year where he's suddenly just awesome and that may be good enough.

AlphaTauri has an interesting paddock w/ Tsunoda and Gasly. I'm curious of Bottas can do anything for Alfa but with a noob teammate he's going to have some serious work to do.

In the end I think you end up:

Ferrari - Mercedes - Red Bull - McLaren - Alpine - AlphaTauri - Haas - Alfa - Aston Martin - Williams

But lord man, Aston and Williams are going to be so awful this year.
