#5 Ricciardo Makes it Three a Piece

As of the end of the 2018 French GP, Lewis Hamilton & Sebastian Vettel both have three wins this season. While they are the two favourites to win the championship, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo certainly has an outside chance to swoop in and run away with it.

Of course, this would take some serious driving and a fair amount of misfortune, but this is F1 and it has happened before & can happen again. The Australian already has two wins this season, coming at China & Monaco, and considering how opportunistic of a driver he is, he could surely strike again in Austria.

The Red Bull outfit's car seems aptly suited to the Red Bull Ring this year, meaning that Ricciardo will have a fighting chance. Furthermore, if Ricciardo does manage to get another win, it will ensure that he remains in the championship with a fighting chance for now. The Australian has shown in the past that a chance is all he needs, and we believe he'll get one this Sunday in Austria!
