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
