It’s anyone’s championship as the balance of power in F1 continues to shift wildly.
It’s not advisable to assume anything with regard to the destiny of this year’s FIA Formula 1 World Championship, be it in the constructors’ championship or the more high-profile drivers’ world championship.
Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton and former four-time champion Sebastian Vettel of Mercedes AMG F1 and Ferrari, respectively, are locked in battle and swapping places for the lead of the points standings in almost every round.
This was particularly the case over the course of F1’s recent ‘triple-header’ of races where the French, Austrian and British Grands Prix were held on three successive weekends.
And as this magazine goes to print, another stunning turnaround has occurred with Sebastian Vettel crashing out of his home event – the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim – to hand a charging Lewis Hamilton (who started the race from 14th) an unlikely win and Mercedes a 1-2 finish after Valtteri Bottas was told not to battle the defending champion for the win.
