Hamilton gets by Bottas and is headed after Vettel but he may run out of time.

Two laps. Doesn't look like Hamilton has enough time to catch Vettel!

BoiseFan just proved once again that you can miss a few races and still come in and sweep the podium and takeover the points lead with one race. Congrats dude for a great call!!

Our points race is shaping-up to be just like this year's F-1 competition. Competitive to the hilt. One point separates all of us and the fight continues in Russia in two weeks.

Definitely served notice that I'm ready to compete this year sir

Just one Verstappen brake failure from a perfect set of picks

I took a chance on Vettel thinking the race pace would be better for Ferrari and it worked

Bottas is definitely second fiddle at Mercedes, the team keeping him on the super softs during that safety car when they weren't working that well for him shows that he's getting the secondary strategy.

Yep BoiseStatefan. Good to see you here. Here is a post from the first race that explains the new changes.

The Formula 1 season is definitely upon us and Pick the Podium is back! The point totals will be upgraded this year and will be as follows: 6 points for correctly choosing the winner, 4 points for second, and 2 points for third. We will add 1 point this year for correctly choosing the fourth place finisher, if you choose to make that selection. If you don't make a selection, no points will be awarded for the correct selection of the fourth place finisher. As in years past, the selections must be completed before the start of the race meaning before they start their engines.

Also, I'll try to send you a reminder each week.

Thank you sir

The early mid portion of the race sure did get wild though

suddenly all sorts of craziness broke out, I think 5 cars retired within 5 laps there.
