Pick the Podium: F1 - Melbourne

[IndyAndy]

Looks like we could be in for another year of; "There's Mercedes, & then there's everyone else".

... Though both Ferrari & Lotus seem to have made improvements.

Red Bull looked a bit out of sorts.

And then there's McLaren: We knew that they would have struggles, but SERIOUSLY...


MY PICKS:

Hamilton
Massa
Vettel


Obviously, I'm picking Rosberg to run into difficulties.

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel.

WELCOME BACK F1!!!

I will go:
HAM
ROS
BOT


How about that performance by the kid? Sainz, jr? Outpacing the big club. And had Max V not pitched a lap away with that bobble, both may have out paced Ricciardo...

As someone who used to run an STR fan site (on another forum site that's all but dead now), I always keep a place in my heart for the boys from Faenza. They sure looked good today.

Looks like Rertroram52 - like Hamilton - is out to defend his title: He's off to a perfect start.

Here's how we did:

Retroram52: 10 points - picked all three steps correctly
forty_three & Hank Kingsley (put his picks in a different thread): 8 points each - picked top two steps correctly
IndyAndy: 7 points - picked winner & 3rd place correctly

NEXT UP: Malaysia, on 3/28.

There are nineteen GPs to go: Still plenty of time for anyone else to join in come the next round.

 

[Retroram52]

Ah rippa! Off to a good start and I am anxious to see the tape. On we go to the next race.

I'll take Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel.

Well played....

I was aking a lot out of piece of shit Renault.....

So do you have a new thread for every race's picks?

 

[IndyAndy]

Yes: Each GP weekend, usually after qualifying is over.

Rog.

I don't usually spend a lot of time on line on weekends.

So I may simply plop mine in the last one available during the week.

I can start the threads on Fridays. I just assume that most people will want to see how the qualifying sorts out before making their picks.

I pick by the seat of my pants.....

If others want qualifying done that's OK by me.

I seriously don't go anywhere near a computer all weekend. Sitting bound to one during the work week is enough for me. I don't even own a phone.....

Unless I come back and pick differently, my Malaysia picks are:

Hamilton
Rosberg
Massa
