F1 2018: 5 Early Predictions for Mexican GP

#2 Grosjean gets a race ban

F1 Grand Prix of Japan - Practice

Haas's French driver, Romain Grosjean has had a very up and down season in 2018. After a string of terrible performances at the start of the year, he seemed to bring it back in the second half. However, since then Grosjean has once again had a bad day in Texas where he careened into the back of Charles LeClerc, taking himself & the Monegasque driver out.

This resulted in one additional penalty point for Grosjean, therefore he is now only 2 penalty points away from getting a race ban. With Grosjean having a chip on his shoulder going into these last three races, he will undoubtedly be racing on eggshells to avoid getting that ban. However, sometimes this is the exact sort of caution that could cause the Frenchman to make a mistake from overthinking it.

We believe that in Mexico, Grosjean will tangle with somebody during the race and will end up getting his next two penalty points that will force him to miss the race in Interlagos.
