  • This will be interesting. My predictions are pretty much that Vettel will win, Kimi will be overtaken by Bottas, Ham will get up to 5th, but will then be stuck in place, frightened by the wide smile of the Aussie Joker. Gasly will remain within top 10, but will likely be overtaken by KMag and at least 1 Renault. McLaren will be steamrolled by Verstappen and Grosjean.

    Hulkenberg and Magnussen side by side into turn 1. I predict a safety car on the first lap and Ericsson will get caught up in it, leaving Leclerc to score a surprise point for Sauber.
