Pick the Podium - F-1 - VTB Russian Grand Prix 2020, Sochi AutoDrum, Russia, September 2020.

[Retroram52]

This week-end, the F-1 teams get out of Italy and move into Sochi circuit in Russia for another competitive race. This week-end Hamilton has a chance to match Schumacher's historical record of overall wins on his way to yet another F-1 championship. The young guns are also gaining traction as they proved last race. So this should be a very interesting week-end.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I think he does it.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas takes the practice sessions because he does quite well in Russian and likes this circuit. Hamilton cam in second and the mix of newbies fill out the top four. Should be fun how qualifying sorts out.

Traveling rhis weekend and not able to watch any sessions, only keeping up through Twitter.

HAM
BOT
RIC
VER

I know, immensely unlikely that RIC gets there, but damn I want him too. Apparently the Renault has been fast all weekend.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I'm thinking

Hamilton
Bottas
Verstappen
Ricciardo

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Lewis is going to be off strategy being on softs, and they weren't prepared properly for the lap he ran?

Danny Ric is strong. Yet Perez pips him for 4th. Max pulls front row out of his ass.

Hamilton
Verstappen
Bottas
Ricciardo

I wish I could sit and watch in my new (used) toy.... Really fast mofo... Like Lewis.

 

[Retroram52]

Ill go with Hamilton, Bottas, Verstappen, Ricciardo.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas takes the win followed by Verstappen, Hamilton, and Perez.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Crap.....

Lewis has gotten a wee bit sloppy on regs.

And fuck if I didn't score the only pints with Dutchie in P2.

Now to watch some NF before I go cruise aimlessly....
