United States GP 2017
Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel are still trying to recover from the past three nightmare race weekends and F1 is heading to the Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. Pierre Gasly will be substituted with Kvyat who will partner with Brendon Hartley since Sainz is taking the Palmer’s race seat in Renault.
I’d bet my money on Vettel who desparately needs a victory but rest assured that Hamilton will fight very hard for that win! I think the circuit will help the Red Bulls exploit their exceptional chassis, especially through the fast esses section. Below are the full predictions for the qualifying and race:

One thought on “United States GP 2017”
I think the red bulls will be penalized for engine changes, most probably Max. Also I think Ham will be on pole, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
