#2 Sauber to Claim 7th in the Constructor's Championship

Charles Leclerc had an excellent race in Brazil to finish as best of the rest

Another bold one, but it's very possible given current form. Sauber have had a huge resurgence in 2018 after their dismal campaign in 2017 and eighth place in the constructor's championship perhaps doesn't do the Swiss outfit justice.

They currently sit 6 points behind Force India (thanks to their points being wiped before Spa) and have a shot of overtaking them at the final round. In Brazil, Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc qualified a very impressive P6 and P7 for the race and if they repeat that performance in the race in the UAE, then they'd comfortably usurp the Silverstone outfit.

It may sound like a long shot, but it could easily happen, but only if one of the top 6 retire with a mechanical failure, which is a real possibility with the engines being pushed to the max to finish the season. It partly relies on Force India finishing outside the points, but with Haas, Renault and McLaren all likely suiting Yas Marina, it's very possible.
