Will Lewis Hamilton Win the F1 World Championship this Weekend?

This weekend sees the 19^th F1 Grand Prix race of the 2019 season in Austin, Texas. We’re all on tenterhooks to see if this is the race that will confirm Lewis Hamilton as the 2019 World Champion.  He’s got a pretty good chance of making it happen, but it’s not set in stone and it all revolves around how Valterri Bottas fares. If Bottas doesn’t win, then the championship win goes to Lewis Hamilton, but, if Bottas does win, Hamilton needs to finish in eighth place or above to secure the championship if Bottas takes the fastest lap bonus, or ninth if he takes the fastest lap and Bottas does not. This course offers a lot of overtaking opportunities, being perhaps the best circuit for overtaking of the entire F1 season, so it’s going to be thrilling action from start to finish no doubt.
