🔮 Miami Grand Prix Predictions

May 8, 2022

Formula 1 2018

Eight rows are again in play, but they will not include the first two rows as both Ferrari and Red Bull qualified their drivers in their teams’ pecking orders. The action to watch will be further back in the field, and if one of those drivers manages to reach the podium, that may have a huge effect on our standings.

Enjoy the Miami Grand Prix! 

Good luck!
