After a long summer break, F1 returns to a power-sensitive circuit at Spa-Francorchamps. Ferrari might have a chance to fancy a so-much-needed victory although we know how strong Hamilton is in the second half of the season. The most interesting thing to watch for is the substitution of Gasly with Albon in Red Bull! Is the rookie going to provide a challenge to Max Verstappen?

As usual this year, the model predicts Hamilton to win both the qualifying and the race. In this power dependent circuit, I would not rule Vettel out of the question for a race win! This race will also be a nice test for the Honda engines at the back of the Red Bull cars.

Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Stroll, Albon, Kvyat, Giovinazzi and Kubica were all handed various grid penalties.
