One of the Ferrari to win tomorrow
Might have a chance with Nico Rosberg’s engine trouble, but with Lewis Hamilton’s new engine upgrade, there is a big difference between the new Mercedes engine and the Ferraris. Can’t see Lewis being beaten unless he makes a mistake or has a problem. Lewis has had, however, some pretty poor starts in some of the recent races....
