2018 French Grand Prix preview
This is the first time since 2008 the F1 circus comes to France for some racing. Here's what we heard in the press conference about the Grand Prix:
Remember what happened last time? Kimi Räikkönen was the current champion and took pole. He then had some technical difficulties and lost the win to his teammate. Take a look:
That was at Magny Cours but in 2018 the race will be at Paul Ricard where the teams have tested a lot. Here's a 360-video with Valtteri Bottas taking his Mercedes out on track for a round:
Räikkönen for example said that he really enjoys the track and it is perfect for Ferrari. I have heard many speculations as well that Ferrari might even take a 1-2 win here. Personally I don't believe that but you never know. I will post my predictions at the bottom.
The Predictors League we have had for years will stop now. People are not that interested anymore of participating so I am not willing to put time into it. Sorry guys... We might try again some other year.
I am almost done but want to show you guys a video I watched on YouTube from a much earlier French Grand Prix. I have this whole race on my computer but here is a few seconds:
I loved that! Sad to see that F1 nowadays is almost nothing like that...
Here are my predictions:
Pole positions: Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari
