Russian Grand Prix Bold Prediction
With Lewis Hamilton starting from P11, Max will look to capitalise fully to take over the lead with a victory here in Turkey. However, Valtteri Bottas will be the bone of contention to the Red Bull dreams. Sergio Perez on the other hand will look to hold off Lewis from the middle of the pack. Other than Mercedes and Red Bull, the mid table battle between Ferrari and McLaren is also an interesting battle to watch out for.
