#7 Red Bull

Daniel Ricciardo:
Red Bull will be in the mix for wins right from round one in Melbourne.
Ricciardo has a big fight ahead of him, but he has the nous and pace to be up for it. He has beaten Vettel before, and he can beat Verstappen now.
Additionally, the first piece of the silly season will begin with the move that he makes for 2019. For a potential call from Mercedes or Ferrari, he has to beat the talent of the generation in Max Verstappen.
Max Verstappen:
Don't discount a title bid. Without putting out names, let's get this on record that Verstappen has got into the head of a few drivers without even trying psychological games with them.
It happens when a driver is that great, this early. Wise beyond years, brave every drive. This could be his year and even Hamilton is aware of the possibility of a duel with Verstappen in the immediate future.
