Shanghai Sensation
Daniel Ricciardo produced some stunning overtaking manoeuvres to take
victory
in
China. His pass on Bottas for the lead the pick of the bunch. The other
Finn of Raikkonen completed the podium positions.
It was a race to forget for Vettel and Hamilton who finished 8th and
4th respectively, Hamilton benefiting from a penalty applied to
Verstappen because of his rash move on Vettel. Other notable performers
included the ever consistent Hulkenberg and Alonso whom finished 6th
and
7th and have both had impressive starts to 2018.
Top 10 - 1. Ricciardo, 2. Bottas, 3. Raikkonen, 4. Hamilton, 5.
Verstappen, 6. Hulkenberg, 7. Alonso, 8. Vettel, 9. Sainz, 10. Magnussen
Azerbaijan
The 2017 race contained the most infamous incident of the season with
Vettel colliding with Hamilton under the safety, ultimately to the
detriment of both drivers in the race. Vettel was given a penalty
whilst Hamilton suffered with a freak incident with his headrest whilst
leading the race, being forced to make a pitstop and thus conceded a
likely
win.
Amidst the drama it was Ricciardo who emerged victorious ahead of
Bottas who pipped Stroll in the Williams at the death to clinch second
spot.
2018 podium forecast – 1. Bottas, 2. Vettel, 3. Hamilton
Fantasy Game
Ricciardo’s triumph sees him take top honours this round with a total
of 316 points aided with his second fastest lap bonus of the season.
He is emerging as the budget pick of the frontrunners as I predicted in
my initial selections back at round 1. Will more of you consider
picking the likeable Aussie this time round? Vettel’s price has lowered
following his disappointment in China, will you be tempted at £15.94M?
Hulkenberg and Alonso represent solid investments too at £8.97M and £9M
respectively.
My tips – Bottas (£13.91M), Hulkenberg (£8.97M), Verstappen (£9.87M)
Enjoy the race and don’t forget to make those bonus picks!

Under The Lights In Sakhir, Bahrain
Back to back victories for Sebastian Vettel makes it the perfect start
to the 2018 season for the German driver, advantage Ferrari at this
very early stage. He was put under immense pressure by the charging
Bottas but didn’t falter as the Mercedes closed in. Hamilton
did well to salvage what was looking a tricky weekend to claim the
final podium position, and performed a fantastic triple overtake on his
way. It was double disappointment for the Red Bulls’ who both retired
early doors as well for Raikkonen after a horrific pit-stop
incident ended his race early. Thankfully the news is positive for the
mechanic who was badly injured, we wish him a speedy recovery.
Pierre Gasly rightly won driver of the day with an incredible 4th place
finish
for Toro Rosso-Honda, he looked on it all weekend long from Friday
practice, a corner well and truly turned it seems. Magnussen made
amends from Melbourne with a solid 5th place whilst the 2 McLarens'
were in the points once more, 7th and 8th.
Top 10 – 1. Vettel, 2. Bottas, 3. Hamilton, 4. Gasly, 5. Magnussen, 6.
Hulkenberg, 7. Alonso, 8. Vandoorne, 9. Ericsson, 10. Ocon
China
It was Lewis Hamilton who claimed victory in Shanghai in 2017, ahead of
Vettel and Verstappen. A repeat result in 2018 on a circuit which
Hamilton always goes strong on would be just the tonic to make for an
enthralling start to this season.
2018 podium forecast – 1.Hamilton, 2. Bottas, 3. Vettel
Fantasy Game
Vettel’s victory from pole ensured he earned the most points this
round, 307 to be precise, and a price increase to boot – now £16.39m.
Is the Ferrari man a must pick after such early season promise?
Magnussen duly delivered on my tip with a good haul of 147 points,
proving good value for money. Gasly was the star of the show however in
that department, his 230 owners will be delighted with the 157 points
return for their investment of £5/4.69m, a snip.
My tips – Hamilton (£16.02m), Grosjean (£8.07m), Gasly (£5.51m).

Enjoy the race!
