Following on of the most unpredictable Grand Prix in 2017, F1 is heading to Malaysia for the last Grand Prix in that circuit for the foreseeable future. What a shame! This circuit and the usually rainy conditions produced some of the most exciting races in the past 19 years. Friday practice sessions showed that Mercedes might suffer here but the model still thinks Hamilton is the favourite for the pole position.

I’d keep an eye on Pierre Gasly, the man who substitutes Kvyat for the next few races (thank God!). I think he’ll give Sainz a good run for his money. Apart from that, I believe the Red Bulls may have the upper hand in the case of rain. Will we witness another Max Verstappen show similar to Brazil last year?

OK, let’s see the predictions for both qualifying and race:
