“F***ing finally”! That’s what Kimi said after his surprising win in Austin, Texas. He had last won in 2013 with Renault while his last win with Ferrari was back in 2009 during his first stint with the team. Kimi also became the oldest Grand Prix winner since Nigel Mansell in 1994. In contrast, Vettel did yet another mistake and has virtually no chances to win the championship.

The model, reasonably, expects Hamilton to clinch the title this week. What a great atmosphere it will be in the circuit’s stadium section! I believe that Vettel will try to steal the show by winning this race however I think that Lewis is going to be the winner in the end. The Red Bulls will probably finish 5th and 6th behind the Ferraris and the Mercedes’.

Pierre Gasly will start at the back of the grid due to an engine penalty.
