After a weekend that the unthinkable happened, F1 returns to the temple of speed, a circuit that has renewed its contract with F1 for at least five more years. Ferrari and Leclerc have finally won a race and they will be hoping to replicate their performance in front of the tifosi.

Despite Ferrari’s win, the model predicts that the Mercedes’ will bounce back and win like they did in 2018. To be honest, I think and hope that either Vettel or Leclerc, most probably the latter, will manage to finish ahead of Hamilton. It will also be interesting to watch what Albon will be capable of doing in his second race for Red Bull.

Norris, Gasly, Verstappen and Raikkonen will all start at the back of the grid due to penalties.
