F1 2018: 5 Early Predictions for the Russian GP

#4 Ricciardo and Verstappen have the battle of the day

F1 Grand Prix of Singapore - Previews

With the F1 driver's and constructor's championship essentially in the hands of either Ferrari or Mercedes, Red Bull have resigned themselves to simply do the best they can rather than hope for a miracle. The Austrian outfit is clearly focused on 2019 with their new engine provider in Honda, and although they have two amazing drivers with them, it is hard to imagine either of them winning too many more races this year.

That being said, now that the pressure is off both of them, we see the two young drivers going at it in a clean show of pure driving skill. Ferrari and Mercedes will likely have a big advantage over the Red Bulls, pushing Max & Daniel into their own race. Hopefully, the two don't go overboard and run into each other like in Azerbaijan, and since the long straights of Russia aren't as congested as those of Baku we could see the two boys going overtake for overtake here.
