Pick the Podium - F-1 - Gran Premio De Mexico, Mexico City, 2018

[Retroram52]

The fight appears to be second and third as Verstappen looks unbeatable today.

It seems betting on bad luck for Ricciardo is a good bet

....

Ricciardo goes out. The most retirements by a driver this year.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I can't believe Raikkonen is going to find his way on the podium today after how the race started for him

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Ricciardo's retirement actually cost me some points

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen wins it followed by Vettel, Raikkonen, and Hamilton. Hamilton takes the championship for 2018 which will be his fifth.

Terrible time to for a second skunk period.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

That was much needed for me

Our competition is very intense now! Amazing for us to only be separated by one point this late in the year

Daniel has as many DNFs this year as Bottas has in his career.

And he is feeling it.

Can't say I blame him. I hope Renault brings improvements next year.

I have been here before BSF. Like Hamilton, I am going after number five. Two races to seal the deal. We shall see how all of this plays out!!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I damn near logged on in the AM and changed up my picks.

I'd decided Hamliton was going to coast, Danny Ric was going to break and Dutchie was going to win.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda....

Instead I went Pepé Le Pew.....

Good stuff for Lewis though.

Juan down, Schu to go.....

It's a lot of fun that's for sure! I'm the underdog trying to take down the champ!

Who will it be?

We shall see

Indeed BSF. Anything with cars is fun until you have to fix them! Racing is ALWAYS fun!!
