5 Crazy Predictions for the 2018 F1 Baku Grand Prix

#3 Vettel and Hamilton double DNF

Hamilton & Vettel clash Baku 2017

While it is definitely unlikely that Vettel and Hamilton will come to blows after what happened at Baku last year, we believe that the race at the top of the championship will come to a temporary stop here in Baku. The circuit is so unforgiving, and the cars in 2018 are faster than ever. Being pushed to their limits by a pair of quadruple word champions, it just might occur that at one point or another both Vettel & Hamilton find themselves in the barriers.

Hamilton has just broken Kimi Raikkonen's record for longest string of points finishes that he must be due for an unfortunate performance sometime soon. Furthermore, Vettel will be frustrated after having his race ruined in China. Therefore, seeing him push a little too hard on the streets of Baku is a very possible reality this weekend.

Baku is a tight circuit with a margin of error such that even champion drivers can't be faulted for letting a mistake get the better of them. This year, both world title contenders will be on the edge as things have not been going their way since China, that it isn't out of the question for both of them to run into respective troubles (or walls.)
