Pick the Podium - F-1 - Emirates United States Grand Prix, Circuit of Americas, 2019

[Retroram52]

This week-end, F-1 makes its annual trek to Austin, Texas for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of Americas. Interestingly, Haas is going to have Grosjean and Magnussen drive a modified Haas NASCAR Stock Car with a fan seat during some exhibition driving on Friday. Tony Stewart is going to be there and may get drive an Haas F-1 car as he really liked the F-1 cars when he and Jeff Gordon got to drive them at Indy a few years ago. Should be another competitive race as Hamilton is closing the door on his sixth championship.

Disaster of a race for Vettel, he's out

Bottas was a great pick to win.

Ferrari was piss poor this weekend.

Yep, Bottas wins it, followed by Hamilton, Verstappen, and LeClerc.

[Retroram52]

There are just two races remaining: Brazil in two weeks and Abu Dhabi at the end of the month of November which is an extension from last year. Hamilton has already won his sixth championship in-a-row last week in Texas. He will be working on next year's equipment but typical for Hamilton, he will always try to take the win in both races.
