Practice is already underway and the top three are the usual. Hamilton, Rosberg, and Vettel. Apparently Rosberg got his win a couple of weeks ago so he's now back to running second. We shall see how things turn out.

I think Hamilton has come back with a vengeance. I'll go with Hamilton, Rosberg, and Vettel.

Rosberg seems to have all kinds of trouble with Sainte Devote, and I expect him to get it really wrong at some point in the race. I just hope he doesn't take any of the others in the top 3 with him.

I'll take
HAM
VET
RIC

I want to know how Indy knows these things. Does he have an "inside man" at AMG? Was it Indy who convinced them to make the most boneheaded strategy call in the history of F1?

Holy crap, that was epically bad.

And right up until it happened, I thought Grosjean brake-checking Verstappen was going to be the dumbest thing done today.

I think Indy has an inside man at AMG, myself.

If I had an inside man... :D

Doofus call by Mercedes for sure: Did they actually think that the FIA wouldn't deploy the Safety Car? :scratch:

Scary incident for Max V: Glad that he was okay.

I'll figure out everybody's score tomorrow when I get home & unpacked. :)

I can't believe they actually pitted him there.

Even if Hamilton didn't pit and both Vettel and Rosberg did he would have won

heck there was no way Rosberg would pit for fear of Vettel not pitting.

Pretty bizarre move by Mercedes. It almost seems they are managing the wins so that Hamilton doesn't take nearly every win and Rosberg gets a few too. Geez, what has happened to racing where the frikin' corporations control even who wins the races anymore? Frikin' corporate bullshit eventually destroys everything they touch.

Here's how we did:

IndyAndy: 6 points - picked winner/got Hamilton out of position
Hank Kingsley & forty_three: 4 points each - picked Vettel for 2nd/got Hamilton out of position
Retroram52: 3 points - got all three drivers out of position

Season Totals so far:

IndyAndy: 46 points
Retroram52: 41 points
forty_three: 34 points
Hank Kingsley: 32 points

Next Up: Montreal, in two weeks. :)

Still within striking distance and I'll be on the march.
