Interestingly, nobody selected Gasly who snuck into Seventh Place.

Dude. Any duplication of my selections and your selections are purely coincidental. I can't speak for anyone else though!

When Retro picks the same as me.
He blocks me & I cant pass him!

but then again when we pick different people.
Retro always looking down at me.

Me switching away from Lando for the win has clearly motivated him. 3 seconds ahead by lap 3.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow! Who would have thunk Norris would be leading the race early on and Verstappen in Third Place!

Yep, Schmoopy, somebody is always picking away at ya! LOL!!

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Norris and Verstappen have swapped positions at least early on!

 

[Retroram52]

Norris has opened-up a 2-second gap on Hamilton!

 

[Retroram52]

Didn't take Verstappen long after pitstops to take the lead. One can easily get the notion he was just toying with the rest of the top 6 contenders!

 

[Retroram52]

Typical LeClerc. Does the El fadeo! Ferrari is nuts to make this guy their Numero uno driver and let Sainz flop in the wind!!

 

[forty_three]

Well, I had the top four cars right.

Leclerc fell apart and Ferrari strategy killed him. Not sure why they let Sainz through. Neither was going to catch Lando, should have had Carlos tailgun for him.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen wins the race. Hamilton almost caught him followed by Norris in Third Place and Sainz sneaks into Fourth Place.
