This weekend we head to Sao Paulo, home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The big question is, 'Just who will stop Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing from taking their relative titles?'
My thoughts are that this will again be a benefit for the Red Bull duo. Max is at the top of his game and Sergio Perez is finally getting a handle on how to drive this car that was created for Max.
Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas are both putting up a fight but Bottas getting tagged by Daniel Ricciardo in turn 1 at the Mexican Grand Prix has turned the, what was a foregone conclusion, constructors title on its head.
Ferrari have their mojo back while McLaren had a round that they would rather forget.
The balance of the midfield are exactly that. Who will succeed depends on the day and their grid starting positions.
I am looking forward to the concluding races in this years championship. So much can happen in the 2 hours a race!
