F1 Russian Grand Prix: 5 Predictions for Qualifying

#3 Force India break into top ten

Force India had a strong showing in FP2

After a disappointing show at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Racing Point Force India will want to get back into the points at the Russian Grand Prix.

If the team's pace in both the practice sessions is any indicator, Force India might well be on its way to Q3 with a comfortable margin. Sergio Perez and Estaban Ocon consistently lapped faster than the Renaults and the Haas machines, putting them in prime positions to dominate the midfield both during qualifying and the race.

In FP2, Perez was less than a second slower than Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari. Both the drivers were at least 0.2 seconds faster than their immediate competition - Sauber, Haas and Renault.
