#5 Verstappen takes his third win of 2018
While at the beginning of the season it may have looked like Daniel Ricciardo would be the superior Red Bull driver, the tables have surely turned, with Max Verstappen being 70 points ahead of his teammate right now. Verstappen has taken two spectacular wins, with his first coming in Austria, and his second just recently in Mexico.
Brazil has historically been a strong race for him, always scoring points at Interlagos and famously his performance in the wet in 2016 to take an unlikely podium when many drivers crashed out. We see the Dutchman finding some more luck in Brazil, maybe taking advantage of some more rain to pull out a surprise win as he does.
Verstappen has never won from Pole, and with our prediction of Vettel taking Pole, we believe that this trend will continue and we will see Verstappen grab another 25 points maybe starting from around sixth on the grid. Either way, we predict an entertaining race in Brazil that ends with another victory for Red Bull.
