Turkish Grand Prix: Intriguing clues to where the power lies

The Dutchman starts the race only two points adrift and Hamilton has a 10-place grid penalty for using too many engine parts. The first was for Hamilton to qualify fastest, to guarantee the best possible starting position for the race. The second was for team-mate Valtteri Bottas to be second so the Finn would start from pole following Hamilton’s demotion, giving him the best chance to prevent Verstappen from winning. The second is between Hamilton and the rest of the field, in terms of how much progress the Briton can make towards the front by the end of the race. For Verstappen, then, his damage-limitation race in Russia went as well as he could have hoped. Bottas at the front, Wolff said, “is going to race his race”. Verstappen, though, suspects he and Hamilton will meet in the course of the race.
