Pick the Podium - F-1 - Russian Grand Prix, Sochi Autodrome, Russia, 2019

[Retroram52]

This week the Ferraris take their new found power to Russian and the Sochi Autodrome. Hamilton has already stated publically that Ferrari is hungrier than the Mercs. Maybe he is right but we shall see in this race before the F-1 boys take a week off.

Damn if it wasn't Mad Max and Leclerc topping the time sheets by 1/2 second over the Mercs in P2.

Has the top 3 in qualifying been the exact same in every race since the summer break??

Mercs are going to be determined to end Ferrari's momentum

Vettel

I should just cover you off, but I think Hamilton might pull this one out. They start on mediums and Ferrari and Verstappen start on softs. Doing something different early enough to possibly make a difference.

I almost put Dutchie 3rd but had forgotten he had a 5 spot grid penalty which will be tough to be 3rd from.

My last post was my final pick by the way, where I quoted. ^^^^^

Vettel sure helped piss that one away for Ferrari, it's ridiculous how often he ignores team orders and really screwed his team today

I figured Ferrari was due for a screwup again

Hamilton takes the win followed by Bottas, LeClerc, and Verstappen. The Mercs come roaring back and silence this Ferrari talk.

Will Vettel be with Ferrari next season? Not so sure, especially with the way LeClerc has been racing.

And Leclerc is a huge whiner.

80% of a race left and he's bitching.

I love dissension on Ferrari.

For a heartbeat, I wanted him to get past Bottas since I had him for 2nd, then thought, fuck him..... And the prancing horse he rode in on.....

While he should get off the radio and get to work, you do have to look at just how many points Ferrari have screwed him from this year thanks to poor decision making or treating Vettel as the number 1 before a race was even completed.

A long line of cluster fucks.

How many times did Schumi fuck over Rubens? Eddie Irvine took a few up the ass too.
