The F1 demolition that will be tough to repeat
The first aim in Formula 1 is to beat your team-mate, and one contest in 2017 was utterly one-sided - now the same team will host the most exciting duel in 2018
Focus. Attack. There's just one opponent you need to beat. At its core, Formula 1 has a simple premise: defeat your team-mate. It doesn't matter if you're driving the title-winning Mercedes or a back-of-the-grid Sauber. You go into every grand prix with a clear objective.
Get the better of your team-mate in qualifying and the chances of scoring more points on Sunday increases. Achieve that consistently and everything begins to snowball - the focus of the team shifts in your direction.
