Capt'n hairdo may not win the race, but he'll get the WC... unfortunately Seb will probably have another brain fart and spin at the third or forth turn. I'd love it if the honey badger would get another win for Red Bull before he falls off the cliff at Renault.

I wonder if Kimi will overtake Seb in points before the season ends and Max over Bottas? Hammy should clinch this weekend.

Almost a repeat of last year with Hamilton needing to finish better than 7th to clinch the WDC (Hamilton needed better than 5th place finish last year to clinch the WDC). I think Vettel secures the pole (as he did last year) and the win this time. Hamilton 2nd and wins his 5th WDC title.

Kimi wins the remaining races this year. Ferrari tries desperately to still win the constructors title.

this is what i want to see!! kimi goes on a tear and wins out the rest of the season. that would be awesome.

ham wins the title this weekend. right now, he's the best in the field - with the best car for the past 4 seasons.

Sorry no poll. Posted this while delayed sitting on a plane and poll got blocked. No way to add now. Maybe that means result won't be a foregone conclusion....

I think Hammy won't win as he knows he has to finish a d will play safe.

Heads or tails - Seb or Max

the unfortunate thing right now is that any of the top drivers - verstappen, kimi, ham, seb, riccardo, leclerc - could all be winning in the merc. ferrari made great strides in the beginning of the season, but merc's recovery was great and seb has given into mistakes/pressure. imo, verstappen would be nearly unstoppable in the best car. he has that senna (and schumi) mindset of win at all costs. put verstappen in the merc next to ham and the battle would be on! redbull and ferrari need to seriously up their game or this merc domination will simply continue and it makes the sport/racing boring. looking at renault performance this year, riccardo has to be questioning his decision - no matter how unreliable the redbull seemed. we need at least some parody among the teams, just so we have competitive racing. right now, it's 2 teams battling and one is superior. not to mention, redbull moving to honda - how bad could that turn out...?

Agree, Hamilton will be conservative and simply aim for a podium finish. Frankly, I expect to see more ‘action’ during qualifying than in the actual race. Curious to see how MB plays their tire strategy in Q2 this time around, after COTA.

I wish Danny and Kimi would rout the rest of the season. Heading to their new teams with a streak starting.


I agree, HAM for the podium, VER or RAI for the win.
