On second thought, I'll go with Perez to win, followed by LeClerc, Verstappen and Sainz.

if you keep following the guy in last place. Bad things are gonna happen to you

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well Russell keeps his top 5 streak alive today with a podium. Kudos to him.

 

[Retroram52]

Both LeClerc and Sainz expire and DNF. Verstappen takes the win and Perez is second for Red Bull to go 1-2. The Mercs filled-out the top four with Russell taking Third and Hamilton taking Fourth.

You are assuming that I am deliberately choosing your picks each week. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is a mere coincidence that sometimes my choices replicate somebody else's picks on here, Schmoopy. I changed my picks (to no avail) after reading that after FP3, Perez was beating everyone including LeClerc. If the Ferraris had not expired, we would both would be adding points instead of getting skunked. So if you want to think a fallacy, be my guest.

Retro wins every year, Schmoop. He doesn’t need your help

well why didnt you tell me?

 

[obxyankeefan]

well why didnt you tell me?

I was in first with 29 points after 3 weeks. I was tied for last with 29 points before this week. Things I thought I knew where turning out to be untrue more often then not

 

[Retroram52]

You guys are too funny!

you went from 1st to last to 1st.

 

[forty_three]

Don't often see team orders before lap 10....

 

[ckhokie]

McLaren rolled with team orders all race.

 

[Retroram52]

Don't appear to be any team orders with the Mercs. The whole organization is trying to figure-out the nuances of this new car with all of its "quirks" that Red Bull and to some degree, Ferrari have obviously accomplished. When Ferraris dropped-out, the vacuum left was filled by the Mercs because they are indeed closer to Rb and the Ferraris than say a Haas set of cars at this juncture.
