Japanese GP recap
Bottas clinched his first win since April in style. His pass on Vettel
at the start was crucial, enabling him to control the race for the 52
laps. It was the German who finished second, resisting late pressure
for Hamilton in what would have made it a 1-2 on the day the Silver
Arrows sealed their historic 6th consecutive constructors title. Sainz
once again finished 'best of the rest' ahead of Ricciardo and Leclerc -
who suffered after lap 1 contact with Verstappen who himself had to
retire from the race. He'll be hoping for better fortunes at a track he
knows rather well!
Top 10 - 1. Bottas, 2. Vettel, 3. Hamilton, 4. Albon, 5. Sainz, 6.
Ricciardo, 7. Leclerc, 8. Gasly, 9. Perez, 10. Hulkenberg
Mexican GP
Last year Verstappen won the Mexican GP for the second year in a row,
finished ahead of the two Ferraris of Vettel and Raikkonen. It was this
time last year when Hamilton also sealed his 5th drivers championship.
Can he make it his 6th this year? Also, can Verstappen repeat his past
success to make it a hat-trick of victories. A potentially historic
race you don't want to miss!
2019 podium prediction - 1. Verstappen, 2. Vettel, 3. Leclerc
Fantasy Game
Bottas came out on top this round with a total of 297 point and was
duly the driver of the day. Vettel came second in the points standings
with 202, thanks partly to his stunning pole lap bonus. Further down
Ricciardo edged out Albon and Sainz thanks to his 50 gains bonus.
Leclerc had a disappointing tally as the second most owned driver in
the game with just 131. Mexican GP tips - Verstappen (£12.53M), Albon
(£9.40M), Sainz (£8.31M). Race bonus results were as follows - winning
margin: 10-15 secs, lead lap finishers: 5, first retirement:
Verstappen, fastest pit stop: Racing Point.

Russian recap
Hamilton claimed victory around Sochi to maintain Mercedes 100% record
at the circuit. It was a silver arrows 1-2 after Bottas held off the
late charge of Leclerc. The two Red Bulls followed with Verstappen
ahead of Albon - who came through the field impressively after starting
in the pit lane following a crash in qualifying. Sainz was arguably the
driver of the day after brining home his McLaren in a best of the rest
6th place ahead of Perez who himself has been in fine form since the
summer break. It wasn't such a good day for the Williams team who
suffered their first double DNF of 2019. With just 5 races left of the
season Hamilton has taken a giant step towards sealing his 6th drivers
championship.
Top 10 - 1. Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Leclerc, 4. Verstappen, 5. Albon, 6.
Sainz, 7. Perez, 8. Norris, 9. Magnussen, 10. Hulkenberg
Japanese GP
Last year Hamilton come out on top around the Suzuka circuit, finishing
ahead of team-mate Bottas with Verstappen in 3rd. A repeat of last year
would see Hamilton within touching distance of his 6th driver's
championship. Can Red Bull dent his charge at what is Honda's home race
or
can Ferrari bounceback from the disappointment of Russia?
2019 podium prediction - 1. Leclerc, 2. Hamilton, 3. Verstappen
Fantasy Game
Hamilton topped the standings once more with a total of 313, over 100
more than nearest rival Leclerc (193). Albon proved good value once
again as one of my tips with 188 points thanks to 70 positions gained
points. Perez and Sainz were once more the stand out picks in the
midfield with 133 and 123 points respectively. With only 5 races to go
will you play it safe or take a gamble to try and gain the edge of your
league rivals? Tips - 1. Leclerc (£14.79M), 2. Albon (£9.04M), 3. Gasly
(£9.30M). I'm backing two of the Honda powered drivers to deliver at
their home grand prix and think Leclerc will come out firing after the
disappointment of Russia last time out. The bonus results for Russia
were:
winning margin: 5 seconds or less, lead lap finishers: 15 drivers,
first
retirement: Grosjean, fastest pit stop: McLaren. Enjoy the race!

Singpaore recap
13 months or 392 days was the last time Vettel was on the top step of
the
podium. It was Ferrari's first 1-2 finish since Hungary 2017 with
Leclerc coming home in second after being on pole. Fascinatingly it was
the first time since 2008 that the Scuderia have won 3 races in a row!
It was only the second time in 2019 neither Mercedes finished in
the top 3, which is testament to how consistent the Silver Arrows have
been this season. Elsewhere Norris finished best of the rest in 7th for
McLaren whilst Gasly silenced some of the critics with an impressive
8th place finish for Toro Rosso.
Top 10 - 1. Vettel, 2. Leclerc, 3. Verstappen, 4. Hamilton, 5. Bottas, 6.
Albon, 7. Norris, 8. Gasly, 9. Hulkenberg, 10. Giovinazzi
Russian roulette
Last year saw Hamilton claim victory on his way to a fifth world title.
He finished ahead of team-mate Bottas with Vettel rounding off the podium
positions. In a race which Mercedes have dominated since the turbo-hybrid
era can anyone stop them this year?
2019 podium prediction - 1. Vettel, 2. Bottas, 3. Hamilton
Fantasy Game
Vettel claimed top spot for the first time in 2019 thanks to his race
win. Aided by the driver of the day bonus the German claimed a total of
306 points, compared to Leclerc's 211 which included his pole position
bonus. Verstappen was narrowly ahead of Hamilton, 176 to 171 with
Bottas in behind (146). The midfield was as tight as ever with 5 points
separating Albon, Norris and Gasly. It was a disappointing day for
Russell as he became Williams' first retirement of the season and
consequently was the lowest scorer this round with 29 points. My tips -
Vettel (£14.64M), Albon (£8.27M), Perez (£7.65M). In the bonus points
it was 5 seconds or less for the winning margin, there were 17 drivers
on the lead lap, Russell was the first retirement and Red Bull executed
the fastest pit stop.
