This year’s Formula One mid-season report can be summed up in a few ways.
The most obvious is that Max Verstappen will win his third straight world title, joining a select group of drivers to have achieved this and securing his place among the sport’s greats.
Verstappen and Red Bull have dominated the first half, with the reigning drivers’ champion claiming 10 of the 12 races and finishing second twice. Red Bull is yet to lose; Sergio Perez has taken the other two wins. As outlandish as this sounds, the team, in its current form, could win the remaining 10 races unless it implodes through driver errors or reliability issues.
