Redbull have been impressive this season with the Honda-powered engine under the hood and they have a chance to show they will be title contenders next season when they race at Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Redbull couldn’t have been more impressive in Brazil taking out the win with the help of a great Max Verstappen drive but it could’ve been even more dominant with Albon unlucky not to run second.
Mercedes have been great in the first two practice sessions and seem to have plenty of pace up their sleeve while Ferrari have struggled with both drivers hitting the wall in corner 19.

Key Quote
“My aims for this weekend [are] trying to get ahead of [Racing Point’s Sergio] Perez in the drivers’ championship and trying to go 11-10 in qualifying,” said Norris, who sits just one point behind Perez in P11 in the drivers’ standings.
“I’ve got a little bit of time to find,” he added. “We’ll be pushing each other hard but it’s going to be the same as always, it’s going to be very close, down to the last hundreds, last thousandths.
Lando Norris
Our Tip
It’s a close one to call between Verstappen who is in great form and Bottas who is faultless at the moment.
We’re going to side with Verstappen at $4 but we have to respect Bottas to run top 3 at $3
Next Best
Lando Norris is a great bet to make the top 6 at $2.75
