Honda leaving F1 at the end of 2021 will be the biggest news in the upcoming race in Nurburgring. This means that Red Bull and Alpha Tauri will be looking for a new engine supplier, otherwise they have to produce their own engine. Mercedes is unlikely to provide engines to their main championship rivals, Ferrari has pretty much the worst engine this year while the Red Bull-Renault relationship has reached a low point after their break up in 2018. Big decisions ahead for the Milton Keynes team…

Going back to the predictions, despite Bottas’ win in the previous race, the model still thinks that Hamilton is the man to beat this weekend. I would like to bet on a surprise Renault podium on Sunday evening so that Ricciardo has to keep his tattoo promise.

Nico Hulkenberg took the place of Lance Stroll who was not feeling well.
