F1, Italian Grand Prix 2018: Qualifying Predictions

#3 Haas outperforms Renault

Haas reduced the gap to Renault down to only six points in Spa and this weekend would give them an opportunity to bridge the gap

Haas reduced the gap to Renault down to only six points in Spa and this weekend would give them an opportunity to bridge the gap. If everything aligns perfectly for the US-based team, they would believe in their chances to make it to Q3 and stay ahead of Renault while doing so.

The French squad would be further saddled with the knowledge that Nico Hulkenberg is set to receive a 10 place grid penalty for Sunday due to triggering collisions in Belgium. To top it off, he would be taking on new parts that would relegate him to the back of the grid where Daniel Ricciardo might give him company.
