Formula 1: Hamilton at a huge disadvantage - will Verstappen win this time?
Istanbul - In the last race in Sochi, Russia, Max Verstappen fought his way back despite a difficult starting position, but had to admit defeat to his opponent Lewis Hamilton.
This time it could be the other way around, because the seven-time Formula 1 world champion * was postponed to eleventh place after an illegal engine change, even though he had taken pole position in qualifying.
Before Verstappen, who starts from second place, Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas begins.
Mick Schumacher * will drive a Formula 1 race for the first time on the track in the Intercity Istanbul Park.
The Haas driver surprised in the qualifying and starts from 14th place, his best starting place so far in the premier class *.
The 22-year-old was “very, very happy”, and the “trend is upwards”, added the German.
Thanks to a new seat, which the Schumi son described as a "lucky charm", he really got involved this time.
Formula 1: Vettel on the grid in front of Hamilton - but the Aston Martin driver stacks deep
The second German in the race is Sebastian Vettel *.
Due to Lewis Hamilton's penalty transfer, the driver started with the most overtaking maneuvers of the season so far, even ahead of the Briton.
But the 34-year-old is still a bit on the spot, his poor qualifying results remain an undesirable constant.
"I'm not entirely happy because there was a chance to do more," said the four-time world champion.
In terms of speed, Vettel could probably compete for points, but he did not exude much optimism in view of the development of the car aimed at 2022.
"We know that there is nothing more to come and we are having a hard time," said the Aston Martin * driver.
Nevertheless, he and his team will “try to make the best of it”.
