Saudi Arabian GP 2021
Eight points separate the title contenders with just two races remaining. Lewis has the momentum but Max is the only one who can clinch the world title in the upcoming race. The Saudi Arabian race will be the fastest street track with the cars expected to have an average speed in excess of 250km/h (~160 mph) – something that might favor the Mercedes cars. In case Lewis wins and takes the fastest lap point with Max finishing second, F1 will head to the last race in Abu Dhabi with the two drivers having equal points. What a fantastic F1 season this is!!
The model expects Hamilton to qualify first but Verstappen to actually win the race. I would prefer if Lewis wins this race so that the last one is even more exciting. Of course, whoever wins the title, he will be a worthy champion! Behind them, let’s see which of their teammates performs better and helps his team win the constructor’s title and the millions (in cash prize) that come with it.
