F1: Japanese Grand Prix Preview!

Superbru Team Fri 5 Oct 2018

Last time out: Russian Roulette

Lewis Hamilton's drive towards a 5th world title continued in Russia, although not without controversy as his teammate Valtteri Bottas was asked to move to one side to let him by. Despite what you think of that incident though, Ferrari had no answer to Mercedes superior pace last weekend and had to settle for third and fourth, Vettel ahead of Raikkonen. The 2 Red Bulls followed with their surge through the field with Verstappen yet again showing his ability with some fantastic overtakes and a great opening stint. Leclerc had a fantastic drive to finish 7th for Sauber whilst Magnussen and the 2 Force India's rounded off the top 10.

Russian GP Top 10: 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Vettel, 4. Raikkonen, 5. Verstappen, 6. Ricciardo, 7. Leclerc, 8. Magnussen, 9. Ocon, 10. Perez

Japanese Grand Prix

Last year, Hamilton was victorious in Suzuka ahead of the 2 Red Bull drivers, Verstappen and Ricciardo. If the Red Bulls can get themselves in the mix again this year, we could be in for an exciting race! In terms of my prediction own for this weekend, you'd have to be brave to pick against Hamilton again.
