THE PREDICTION

Valtteri Bottas was able to fend off the challenge of Max Verstappen to claim victory in the Turkish Grand Prix last time out but the Dutchman was at least able to regain the lead in the thrilling race to become world champion. He edged ahead of Lewis Hamilton with the Brit only managing to finish down in fifth. However, Mercedes and Hamilton in particular like this track in the United States with the constructor winning five of the past six races here while Hamilton has won here more times than any other driver with six successes so he can get back on track by finishing at the top of the podium in Texas.
