Hamilton still leads at Lap 25. I'll be back later.

Hamilton wins it, followed by Bottas. Verstappen hung on to third despite being ran into by Vettel early in the race. Ricciardo was pressing hard and finished fourth. The Ferrari's finished fifth and sixth with Raikkonen finishing ahead of Vettel who struggled all day after running into Verstappen. Grosjeans finished 8th as Haas finishes in another points paying position.

What a debacle, I really just blew the competition for myself

I was busy and completely forgot they were turning around and racing again

Late last night I got home and had a brief drunken realization that I needed to get on here and make a pick, fired up the laptop and passed out until about halfway through the race

Dude...

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I sure wish I hadn't shit the bed in Russia.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

No one has shit the bed as badly as I did

I still can't believe it

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Well I got shut out at Sochi.

And I made my picks....
