F1 2018: 5 early predictions for the 2018 Monaco GP

#4 Bottas bounces back

Valtteri Bottas in Spain 2018

While as of right now, the race for the Championship seems to be a two-horse race, if you look a little closer, you can see that mathematically speaking, Valtteri Bottas still has a great chance of becoming World Champion.

The Finn has had 3-second places this season, with his two poorer performances of 8th and 14th coming only as a result of accidents.

With this form, if Valtteri manages a clean race, there is every chance that the Finn could rank highly again and throw himself right in the mix alongside his teammate and Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel.

Finishing 4th last year at Monaco, Bottas has proved that he has what it takes to win races and consistently score podiums.

Mercedes have also made very clear during their tenure that until one of their drivers is mathematically eliminated, they will give both drivers equal chance to win the World Championship.

Let's hope that we're right and that indeed Bottas can provide a challenge for the title.
