THE PREDICTION
Lewis Hamilton edged in front of Max Verstappen at the top of the
Driver Standings thanks to a win at the Russian Grand Prix last time out
but he had compatriot Lando Norris to thank for that. Norris was
leading and looked set to earn his maiden GP success until he opted
against pitting late in the race and the wet weather got the better of
him as he span out of contention. Hamilton was then able to ease to the
win with Verstappen a long way back in second as the duo continue to
fight it out for the Championship. There is little to split the pair
here but with rumours circulating that Hamilton could opt to take an
engine penalty this weekend, Verstappen looks capable of adding to his
seven wins so far this season.
