Pick the Podium - F-1 - Heineken Grande Prémio De Portugal 2020, Autodromo Internacional, October 2020

[Retroram52]

After a two week respite, the F-1 dudes head to a new track in Portugal for this year's version of the Heineken Grand Prix. Interesting new track with lots of turns and even elevation changes similar to the Track of the Americas in Austin Texas. Should be fun to see who gets in the top five with all of the newcomers making a run at the Mercs.

Read today that Grosjean and Magnussen are punted from HAAS.

The track is challenging and there is one passing zone on the whole place, so it comes down to the start.

Boring podium after an exciting first lap.

Hamilton dominates the race for his record-breaking 92nd win. Bottas finished second, Verstappen third, and LeClerc fourth. Perez got punted early on and never recovered from the accident.
