Heres who each driver is supporting in the title battle this weekend

It’s undoubtedly the question of the weekend: who is going to win the drivers’ championship? Could it be Lewis Hamilton hunting lanugo a record-breaking eighth crown, or will it be Max Verstappen wanting his first F1 drivers’ title?

Having raced slantingly them both over the season, here’s who each suburbanite is expecting to be champion come Sunday.

TEAM VERSTAPPEN

$\"\"$

Okay, so this one is a bit of a given. Being Verstappen’s teammate, you’d hope he had Max’s back. Having said that, when asked who he thinks will take the title, it sounds like Checo nearly said Hamilton ? It might just be a slip of the tongue but just imagine!

Both Red Bull guys squatter an uphill wrestle to wrestle the Constructors’ Championship yonder from Mercedes.

$\"\"$

Hoping to stay on the sister team’s good side, AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda is Team Max, joking that “imagine if I say a variegated driver, I think Helmut [Marko] ‘s got unbearable energy to run into me”.

$\"\"$

Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel, the last non-Mercedes suburbanite to win the title, has a very personal reason for supporting the Dutchman, to protect his hero Michael Schumacher’s records.

“Lewis can win one more, two more, three more, five increasingly championships, it doesn’t transpiration anything for me, and I get withal with Lewis, so probably the gut says I want Max to win just to alimony Michael’s record alive,” said the Aston Martin driver.

$\"\"$

Vettel isn’t the only world champion leaning towards Verstappen. Fernando Alonso believes the 24-year-old is “driving one step superiority of everyone”, although the Alpine suburbanite has said he isn’t picking sides.

“It’s not that I support Max. It’s that he deserves it, in my opinion. Everyone has a variegated opinion, but he is driving that Red Bull to flipside level,” he remarked.

TEAM HAMILTON

$\"\"$

Unsurprisingly, the seven-time world champion’s current teammate is valuables him for glory.

Valtteri Bottas will be doing all he can to help Hamilton secure the title slantingly an eighth subsequent Constructors’ Championship.

$\"\"$

It wouldn’t be the weightier start to their new relationship as teammates if George Russell turned virtually and said he was valuables Max for the title. Naturally this Mercedes-backed suburbanite is all aboard the #TeamLewis hype train.

$\"\"$

The Mercedes ties with Ocon moreover midpoint he’s firmly in Hamilton’s corner. Guess the Silver Arrows ties must run deep.

UNDECIDED

$\"\"$

Verstappen’s former teammates Daniel Ricciardo really struggled to decide when asked his opinion, but in the end, he said he “didn’t know” but “wished them both well”.

$\"\"$

Despite teaming up with Max for the Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans last year, Lando Norris is staying in the middle.

$\"\"$

Another former teammate of Max moreover thinks it’s sensible to not pick sides.

“I am not going to take a stand considering I see social media so polarised and so critical. Honestly, I am not enjoying it that much. I prefer to enjoy the wrestle on track. Let the weightier man win.

“It’s a super heady wrestle and for the goody of the sport and for F1, keeping it clean. Good sportsmanship and I hope it’s a unconfined finale.” Well said, Carlos ?

$\"\"$

Despite the fact that Hamilton could unravel his father’s record, Mick is very neutral. “We will have to wait and see,” he replied when asked who would win on Sunday.

$\"\"$

Nikita was short and sweet with his prediction: “the weightier man wins”.

$\"\"$

On what is likely to be his last F1 race weekend, Giovinazzi was thinking increasingly well-nigh those watching the whoopee unfold than who would be taking home the title.

“I hope that we can have a good race on Sunday considering I think the people at home and here in the grandstand deserve that. The weightier suburbanite on Sunday will win.”

$\"\"$

Lance was moreover very reflective and gave a similar wordplay to Giovinazzi.

“You know as good as I do, it could be anyone. Lewis has the momentum right now, but Max is not going to go lanugo without a fight as we saw last weekend. It’s very heady for the sport and I am happy for everyone when home watching.”
