Who will be the Portimao Circuit King?

The battle between front runners, Mercedes & Redbull is all set. Bottas topped the chart on Saturday qualifying session, with Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen completing the top 3

Redbull’s 2021 title challenger has taken a big leap forward by surpassing the performance levels of Mercedes W12

Portugese GP is a crazy circuit with multiple elevation changes & with downhills it creates a rather more enthralling circuit. Bottas like last year was much more comfortable than Lewis in the practice sessions & even found pace in the qualifying session edging Lewis.

Lewis on saturday had a solid Q2, but lost a bit of time in Q3 with Medium tyres as the tyres couldn’t fire up for Lewis thus lacking grip. Verstappen had a clumsy Q3 and wind did disturb his Redbull on turn 13 & he couldn’t find pace to split the Mercedes or clinch pole.

Perez had a tough qualifying session as his Redbull couldn’t fire up the tyres with the grip he was looking for but still had a decent pace to bring his Redbull to P4.

Sunday looks stunning with a lot of overtaking opportunities for Mercedes & Redbull drivers. Max has his eye set for the 2021 World Championship with his fierce Honda powered 2021 title challenger RB16B. Lewis looks ever hungry to challenge Redbull & his teammate Bottas with his W12, as we saw his magical performance in Imola. Mercedes is working 24/7 on improving W12 as compared to Redbull’s fierce challenger.

Who do you think will conquer the Portimao circuit?
