Belgian GP 2018

Belgian GP 2018

After the log summer break, F1 is heading to Belgium and Spa Francorchamps where Vettel will be hoping to close down the points difference in the drivers championship. In the meantime, the F1 driver market has gone crazy after the unexpected move from Ricciardo to Renault next year and Alonso deciding to retire from F1 and find new challenges in other series. This has lead to McLaren signing Sainz and Gasly being promoted to Red Bull. Lots of positions are still open in what is expected to be an exciting few weeks or months.

The model hints Hamilton to take the pole in the Belgian GP but Vettel to win from the 3rd place. Although that would be interesting, I’d place my bets on Vettel who is hungry for a win. It could well end up being a Ferrari one-two given Iceman’s great performances at Spa over the past years.

Bottas, Hulkenberg, Sainz and Vandoorne start from the end of the grid due to penalties.
