F1 2018: 5 Early Predictions for the Brazilian GP

#3 Hamilton DNF's

With the championship in his hands, Lewis Hamilton is under far less pressure than he was before the Mexican Grand Prix to win races. The Englishman does not have any consequences for taking risks now and will be looking to have some fun after what has no doubt been a stressful season for him. With this attitude in mind, we see Hamilton trying a Ricciardo-style late brake while trying to get an overtake to wow the crowd.

Of course, this isn't perfect for Mercedes, who still need to get some points before they can confirm the Constructors' Title. However, this is fitting as in a tough sport like F1, nobody is perfect, not even the 5-time world champ in Hamilton.

We saw the British driver have a not so amazing race in Mexico as well, where tyre wear and a frustrating strategy by Mercedes meant that he was sliding around in his title-winning race. We see this trend continuing in Brazil, although with not as much tension as he is already the undoubted title holder in 2018.
