It's so likely that it'll probably not happen. I think Hamilton will let Max take liberties, he'll only race Vettel.
Hamilton has it made.if.he has.that sense. With Bottas who will be told to back off hamilton can let kimi and Danny past and win championship Who knows after quali they might sail past if they can figure out the cars at all.
Somethings up with either Danny or his car this weekend, they're on about taking a new PU as he's so far down so that puts him out of the picture unless safety cars etc. Kimi could do anything, he's so hot or cold so who knows. Assuming the first corner goes ok I worry that we'll get a well spaced 1,2,3.
Vettel will have a hard timr at the start. He has to win so he will wan to keep Max behind, but he also has to keep hamilton behind. So wht does he do? Max will be going.for it for sure. Hamilton needs to check which side Max is going.an go the other side...Vettel will need two pairs.of.eyes for this one.
Hamilton needs to stay out of trouble for the first few corners and let Max and Seb fight it out, bang wheels or take each other off. I know he has said he wants to win it but he as got to be circumspect. Not necessarily to race for a lower position but not to take risks he doesn't need to. Unless he is sure he will take Seb out too. ;-)
I don't think Ocon hit anyone last race, so he's due some contact at some point in the race, but he's not on the poll. Vettel has the power over the RBR and 'usually' starts well, so I don't see them fighting in the first corner as I think Vettel will lead Max. Hamilton from 3rd on the grid with that straight, however, hmmm. Gone for wishful thinking, though the reality is Hamilton needs 5th in any race to win, so we're never going to get the head-head we want.
Hamilton will just sit back with a bucket of popcorn and watch Max/Vettel rack up a few penalties then cruise to the win while the stewards take a radio lashing. Or... all three will explode in the first corner and Bo Duke will use the new curbs to launch the General Lee to Dodge's first GP win.
I find it a sad state of affairs that pundits are almost celebrating contact. What’s more scary is that we all knew it was coming.
Well the championship is over so lets stir up as many conspiracies as possible until march next year.
I think you'd have to be trying very hard to make that out as deliberate from Vettel. He's just lost some of his front wing seconds before, it's not too surprising he has to correct to try and regain front grip. Just unfortunate that Hamilton was there.
