Lawrence BarrettoThe drivers’ and constructors’ championships may have been decided but as the F1 fraternity arrived in Austin with five Grands Prix still to go, there’s still plenty on the line for the remainder of the grid – headlined by a four-team fight for P2.
Mercedes are the incumbents on 326 points, the Silver Arrows having started the season poorly (Lewis Hamilton’s words, not mine) before digging their heels in. Even if they lacked the outright pace to secure big results – like Ferrari’s shock victory in Singapore – consistency has allowed them to rise into P2.
