F1 2019: 5 Early predictions for the Spanish GP

#1 Vettel fights back to Win

F1 Grand Prix of Azerbaijan

So with my prediction that Vettel will have a calamitous qualifying to represent Ferrari's struggles and symbolically show them on the back foot, I also see a charge to the front to hopefully represent the Scuderia finally getting it together to take on Mercedes. It would take a lot for this to come to be, especially seeing as Vettel has never won a race after starting the race from below P5. However, I finally see Ferrari having a great strategic showing on Sunday, allowing Vettel to put in a great drive and get all the way to the front of the grid by the end of the race.

I hope that a brilliant performance by the four time World Champion will show Mercedes and the world that the Italian outfit is not out of it yet, and can still put up a challenge this season, for the sake of F1 fans worldwide more than anything. Maybe it will take some chaos and a safety car or two for something like this to go down, and Spain certainly isn't known for being conducive to either safety cars or close racing, but it might just change this time around.

This prediction is really just one of hope. I hope that Ferrari can put a race together without putting themselves down. I hope that Ferrari can do so from a bad starting point to show some fighting spirit. And I hope that his year's drivers and constructors race can have some spice to it, and a good start to that would be a huge comeback drive from Sebastian Vettel.
