British GP 2018
Ferrari and Vettel are now leading the respective championships but F1 is heading to Silverstone, a circuit where Mercedes did an 1-2 last year and where a Mercedes car has been winning every year since 2013! So, the odds are with the reigning world champions and they should regain the lead after a disastrous Austrian GP.
Eric Boullier has resigned from his position as racing director in McLaren and the British team is going from bad to worse. It will probably be another race where Alonso will struggle to get into the point-scoring positions. In the lead, the model gives Vettel a 51.5% chance to qualify ahead of Hamilton. I’d personally expect Lewis to take both the pole and the race win but let’s see if Bottas or Vettel have anything hidden in their sleeves to challenge him.
