Hamilton Leads the Race
The current Formula 1 Drivers Championship table is headed by Britain’s Lewis Hamilton who has a haul of 162 points, having won five races to date. That’s three more than his nearest rival and it already looks like the pace-setter will take some shifting. He was pre-season favourite with the bookies and has had no trouble living up to expectations this term. Those who took the short price about Lewis being world champion again aren’t comfortable enough to begin counting their cash just yet, but they are in a great position.
Hamilton has Mercedes teammate Valterri Bottas in second place with the Finn having 133 points, having won two of the first seven races. Mercedes have dominated this F1 season so far with the seven races to date split between their two drivers. It’s unlikely Bottas will catch his teammate and wear the crown, even if he wanted to, but he’ll see a silver medal as a fantastic achievement, both for himself and his team. Having said that, there’s still plenty of racing to be done.
Seb Vettel sits in third place on 100 points going to France, ahead of Max Verstappen on 88 points and Charles Leclerc who can be found fifth in line with 72 points on the board. The Ferrari pilot has a big season ahead of him if he can continue the progress he has shown in the early exchanges and we’re sure he’ll get off the mark and win a major Grand Prix sooner rather than later. Its no surprise to see Mercedes lead the constructors championship, a full 123 points ahead of Ferrari in second. It’s safe to assume Mercedes will go very close to completing a clean-sweep this term.
