Pick the Podium: F-1 - Belgium Grand Prix

[Retroram52]

After two practices, it is the usual dominance by Hamilton and Rosberg. Ferrari is making an appearance in the top three.

Looks like Vettel has worked himself into the mix and Rosberg is not too impressed with Hamilton. Screw the team orders! I'll take Rosberg, Hamilton, and Vettel.

What a race and Ricciardo pulls it out after flippin' Hamilton and Rosberg get into it. Bottas comes out of nowhere to take third with Rosberg surviving and taking second.

Can Riccardo yet mount a serious challenge for the WDC? - I sure hope so. The guy is just impressive as can be IMO.

Here is how we did:

forty_three: 4 points - correctly picked Rosberg for 2nd/ got Riccardo out of position.
lakersrule: 3 points - correctly picked Rosberg for 2nd.
Retroram52 & IndyAndy: 1 point - got Rosberg out of position.

Season Totals so far:

Retroram52: 54 points
lakersrule: 52 points
IndyAndy: 49 points
forty_three: 41 points
BoiseStateFan27: 22 points

Next Up: Monza, on 9/7.

Friggin Rosberg.

If Hamilton was in a car that was as well put together as Rosberg's, he would have caught Daniel. That's all I am saying.

Poor guy can't catch a break. 2 straight last row starts and he turns them into podiums. This time he starts on the front and get curb stomped on the second lap. While leading. BY A TEAMMATE.

I know it's unlikely that a German manufacturer will do anything to their star German driver, but if Ricciardo catches and passes Hamilton in the WDC because of this, I would love to see them smack him down.

I agree Forty Three. I am shaking my head at Hamilton and Rosberg. When I saw their little "interaction" I thought, "Dumbasses"!
