Lets see if I can close that "8" point gap...

Hamilton
Verstappen
Russell
Perez

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Most important start of the year for MB.

Simply cannot let Perez split them.

Not sure who said it (some "pundit") but I agree with him, this weekend MB is closer to Verstappen than ever before. And MB has the edge on Ferrari and Perez.

Not going to pass Verstappen on speed alone, they will have to "work" the race together.

I'll go with:

Verstappen
Russell
Hamilton
Perez

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Gonna be different (why not worked well for me so far) Although I was thinking of the way Retro picked.

Verstappen
Hamilton
Perez
Sainz

(Russell does an oops somewhere to cost him)
BTW a shout out to Bottas to get up there with the big 3 during qualifying

 

[Retroram52]

Yep the race starts in an hour!

 

[forty_three]

Dammit, my first instinct was to go VER, HAM, PER, RUS but I thought that Russell was gonna get a better start.

Surprised at how awful the Ferraris have been. Absolute garbage.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen wins it, followed by Hamilton, Perez, and Russell. Russell just plain wussed-out today.

 

[forty_three]

Verstappen wins it, followed by Hamilton, Perez, and Russell. Russell just plain wussed-out today.

Pretty weird call not to pit him for softs on the VSC. I think he could have gained the podium.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Shazbat!

Skunked!

Missed on the tires once again.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Booed all day but still classy, Lewis.

And your point? He always does that. You say it like it's a bad thing.

My point, classy.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Max won't talk to Sky sports cause they're mean to him...

 

[ckhokie]

And your point? He always does that. You say it like it's a bad thing.

My point, classy.

Nothing specific to Lewis positive or negative, just predictable.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I’ve always found him thoughtful and well spoken. Nothing wrong with that predictable or not. At least he’s not sulking like Max who has no reason at all to sulk.
