Chinese GP
A third consecutive Mercedes 1-2 sees the Silver Arrows hold an already
significant advantage in both championships. Despite
Bottas coming out on top on Saturday it was Hamilton who emerged the
victor of the race on Sunday. Vettel clinched his first podium of the
season after team orders were imposed by the Scuderia early in the race
to allow him past Leclerc. This call rather compromised the
Monegasque driver who finished 5th, behind Verstappen. It was Gasly's
best race so far for Red Bull as he finished in 6th and pitted late on
to claim the extra point for setting the fastest lap of the race.
Ricciardo got his 2019 campaign back on track with a solid 7th place in
the Renault ahead of the reliable duo of Perez and Raikkonen, whilst
Albon rounded
off the points positions with a great recovery drive to finish 10th
after starting from the pit lane - he was duly awarded driver of the
day for his efforts.
Top 10 - 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Vettel, 4. Verstappen, 5. Leclerc, 6.
Gasly, 7. Ricciardo, 8. Perez, 9. Raikkonen, 10. Albon
Azerbaijan
Last season a chaotic race saw Hamilton clinch victory ahead of
Raikkonen and the Force India of Sergio Perez. With 3 consecutive 1-2
finishes Mercedes head into the race as favourites but Ferrari will be
trying everything to usurp them and get their first victory of 2019
under
their belts.
2019 podium prediction - 1. Hamilton, 2. Vettel, 3. Leclerc
Fantasy Game
Hamilton claimed top spot for the second race in a row with a total of
291 points after his victory in China. The 2 Mercedes drivers are
already some 200 points clear of the rest of the field at this early
stage. Will you be making room for one in your team? Albon is proving
excellent value for money as he is currently the 7th highest points
scorer in the game. At the other end of the scale Sainz (£6.54M) and
Grosjean (£7.30M) have had disappointing starts to the season but their
fortunes will surely turn soon so perhaps their is a bargain to be had
for those shrewd players among us.

Bahrain GP result
Hamilton clinched victory at the Bahrain GP as a failure with an engine
component cruelly denied Leclerc his first victory in the sport and for
Ferrari. Bottas also gained from Leclerc's misfortune to make it
another Mercedes 1-2 in the early stages of 2019. Leclerc conversely
benefited from a late safety cay, allowing him to limp home in third.
Vettel spun out of contention after his battle with Hamilton, consoling
him to 5th place. A superb drive from Norris saw him finish as best of
the rest in 6th, ahead of the consistent Raikkonen in the Alfa
Romeo. Gasly came home in a rather disappointing 8th in the
Red Bull, he'll need to improve his results before too long or
questions will be asked.
Top 10 - 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Leclerc, 4. Verstappen, 5. Vettel, 6.
Norris, 7. Raikkonen, 8. Gasly, 9. Albon, 10. Perez
Chinese GP
Last season the Chinese GP provided plenty of entertainment as
Ricciardo stormed through the field to take victory in the Red Bull.
The 2 Finns followed, with Bottas ahead of Raikkonen - resulting in
each of the 3 main constructors being represented on the podium. This
year's race plays host to the milestone 1000th GP, expect fireworks and
extra motivation from the teams to deliver a strong result on the big
occasion.
2019 podium prediction - 1. Hamilton, 2. Vettel, 3. Bottas
Fantasy Game
Lewis Hamilton topped the rankings this round with a total of 292
points, whilst Leclerc claimed 2nd thanks to his pole, fastest lap and
driver of the day points - culminating in a total of 232. Bottas proved
a reliable source of points following his win in Australia, 187 in
total whilst Verstappen and Vettel were evenly match on 157. The German
driver has yet to deliver this season and as such his value has
deteriorated to below £15M. Will you stick with the Ferrari man or look
elsewhere? Further down the grid Norris proved the pick of the bunch
with an impressive 142 points tally, offering good value for the
initial £7M investment. Raikkonen put in another solid display, with
his 216 owners getting 122 points in return. Despite lagging far behind
in the races the 2 Williams drivers are offering good value for money,
with Russell
(£5.23M) and Kubica (£5.59M) scoring 81 and 78 points respectively.

Australian GP recap
Lights out and away we go for 2019! Mercedes started the season with a
bang with an emphatic 1-2, but with Bottas the surprise victor. Winless
in 2018 a determined drive by the Finn saw him finish over 20
seconds ahead of team-mate Hamilton to lay down an early marker. Not
favoured by many he made a strong claim to be in the mix for the
championship this time around. Verstappen claimed the final podium
place for Red Bull, ahead of both Ferrari's whilst Magnussen finished
best of the rest in 6th place for Haas. With Melbourne often a law unto
itself we'll maybe get a clearer picture for the season ahead next time
out.
Top 10 - 1. Bottas, 2. Hamilton, 3. Verstappen, 4. Vettel, 5. Leclerc, 6.
Magnussen, 7. Hulkenberg, 8. Raikkonen, 9. Stroll, 10. Kvyat
Bahrain GP
Last season it was Vettel who came home to win around the Sakhir circuit
in Bahrain, ahead of the Mercedes duo of Bottas and Hamilton. Ferrari
need a similar result this time out after a disappointing season-opener
for them. The likes of Ricciardo, Sainz and Grosjean will be hoping for
better fortunes this time after they all retired from the first race.
2019 podium prediction - 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Leclerc
Fantasy Game
Bottas claimed an impressive 328 points in the first round of the 2019
game, with the fastest lap and new driver of the day bonus alongside
the race victory. Only 130 players selected the Finnish driver, will
those of you on strategy 1 now be tempted and will those on strategy 2
regret the decision to omit the Mercedes driver? If he can replicate
the season Rosberg had in 2016 he will become an essential pick this
time around. Elsewhere, in the midfield battle it was Magnussen and
Hulkenberg who came out on top, with 133 and 132 points respectively.
Further down the popular pick of Raikkonen scored a solid 107 points on
his return to Alfa Romeo (formerly Sauber), a total matched by the
returning Kvyat in the Toro Rosso who proved good value at £5.5M. It
was a home race to forget for Ricciardo fans as an early retirement
meant a mere 35 points on his debut for Renault.
