I’ll go with:
1.) Chaz
2.) Max
3.) Carlos
4.) Checo
5.) Ham
6.) Mag
RUS looks to be a little frustrated and feels heat of Lewis pulling ahead of him... I wouldn’t be surprised if he crashes out and takes someone with him on an overly aggressive and rushed move. Depending where he qualifies it could be Checo, but I’d guess his qualifying will be closer to 12th.
The MB engine seems like they went for way too much reliability over performance and it’s costing them. Now that they got aero issues mostly squared away they lost all that time to bring the engine up to speed.

Well it’s amazing what a few practices and a quali can change the outlook so much! I still think George has a fair probability he will crash out and possible take someone with him. It’s clear Ferrari is solid and MB is in much better shape than they led on, they clearly have some pace. Based on the fact no one really is able to move up on this track I will guess this lineup:
1.) Carlos
2.) Charles
3.) Russell
4.) Hamilton
5.) Alonso
I could see Alonso keeping Hamilton at bay, his move to 4th would have to come via a pitstop undercut.
