As always, #44 for the win.
With all the controversy surrounding both Seb & Lewis, I expect this race to be hard fought.
Couple that with this race being the halfway marker on the season; from here every point, every place and every race really matters for WDC and WCC.
I am still not confident that Seb will be able to keep up his lead in WDC. Something has to give. I am of the belief that something in the next couple races will restore the advantage to Lewis or at minimum, Mercedes.
Bottas has been quietly contending in the background. A couple more P1's and he will be contending quite nicely.
I do wish to see Lewis take home a 4th WDC, but I could live with anyone except for the finger winning it.
I'm still hoping to see Verstappen complete a fucking race. He is for my money the most exciting driver on the track pound for pound right now.
I really want to see McLaren do well this race. But, I am predicting either a double DNF or a single DNF and a 19th place Stoffel finish. It will be really nice to see Williams coming on form too.
Someone will find a way to crash into Alonso. Just the way of the world, I think.
