Pick the Podium: F-1 - Monte Carlo

[Retroram52]

Well the first practice looked like the way the Spain race ended with Hamilton and Rosberg 1, 2 followed by Ricciardo. After Practice 2, Hamilton fell to second and Alonso in a Ferrari took the number one fast lap with a surprise of Vettel with a third. Could it be that Mercedes has been caught by other teams most notably Red Bull and Ferrari? We shall see.

What rotten "luck" for Lewis with Nico going off and killing his hot lap in Q3.

Still think strategy is going to play a role.

Lewis
Rosberg
Vettel

I'll go with Rosberg, Hamilton, Vettel.

Andy looking good with this one. Doesn't Hamilton always have trouble with Monaco? I'm new to the sport.

quite the wild race with all the retirements, big result for Rosberg getting one back on Hamilton, the way Hamilton seems to be feeling after losing this one means Rosberg might have the momentum back on his side.

Jules Bianchi scoring 2 points for Marussia is the craziest part of this race, that team is usually one of the worst teams on a grid, equivalent to Western Kentucky finishing a season in the top 25.

sure half the cars didn't finish, but still the biggest highlight of that teams history, and they're ahead of Sauber who are usually better than this.

of course I forgot to make picks for this race
