FORMULA ONE was a nine month long procession for Max Verstappen last year – but will it be the same this time round?. Teammate Sergio Perez is the second most likely driver to win in Jeddah with a 3.2 per cent chance of victory. Hamilton has been handed just a 1.8 per cent chance of crossing the finish line first, but could certainly make the podium with a 14.3 per cent chance of finishing second and a 14.4 per cent chance of third place. He is expected to win a staggering 21 of the 24 races this year finishing second in the three that he doesn’t take first place in. A 21-win season would break the record for the most race wins in a campaign which was set by Verstappen himself last year with 19.
