F1 2018: 5 Early Predictions for the Canadian Grand Prix

#5 A first time winner

Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz of Renault

With 3 drivers having 2 race wins each so far, someone has to break the tie. We don't believe it will be one of those three, so we see the seventh race of the F1 season going to somebody else.

However, while the victory could easily go to someone like Kimi Raikkonen, or Max Verstappen, we believe that the title race will be frozen even more so as the Canadian GP is taken by a driver with no current victories.

The midfield is extremely strong this season, for example in Monaco we saw the likes of Esteban Ocon catching the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas by a second a lap. Along with that, drivers like Charles LeClerc, Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly have been making the most of their increasingly competitive cars.
