The rest of the teams
McLaren, Toro Rosso and Williams haven't performed that brilliantly this year, even though Alonso drove the maximum and more out of that car and Pierre Gasly had a few brilliant drives. They have a really good chance to be in that packed midfield battle, as they all know how it is to be fighting up there.
They also have some really good driver line-ups, and we can look forward to them progressing up the order within a few years.
I'm not saying they won't be backmarkers though. I do think they won't be good enough (unfortunately) in some races. Someone's got to be last...
Prediction: They will be fighting for last place, sadly. But there will surely be some good points performances.
This is just a prediction, so I'm not sure this is all going to happen. In any case it will be exciting to see how things unfold in 2019.
