Pick The Podium: F1 - Montreal

[IndyAndy]

You just have to love qualifying in the misty/drizzly/greasy conditions such as they had today.

Outstanding effort today by Valtteri Bottas, who wrestled his Williams into submission - & drug it by sheer force of will up into the 3rd grid spot.

Sadly, with a dry day predicted for tomorrow, he'll likely be brought crashing back to reality.

Another impressive effort by my STR boys too. - And, unlike Williams, I give them a very good chance to hold station in the 6th-10th slots regardless of the weather.

My Picks:

Vettel
Hamilton
Webber

weather may be a bit dicey...and they have fast cars.....it has the potential for a wild one

This is one of the tougher picks of the year. There is the potential the race could start on a damp track which could really mess with things. Bottas had a great performance in qualifying, hopefully he can manage to stay in the points, that would be a good run for them. If it is damp early someone like Sutil or Vergne could mix it up towards the front. Even if it doesn't rain Montreal has had some really interesting races in the past, so it we could still see some mixups

for my picks, not taking many risks

1. Vettel
2. Rosberg
3. Webber

And I still managed to get it wrong!

HawaiiFivePointZero, your season total is currently four points, not five: Sorry about that!

I find myself extremely fortunate to be leading after missing a race earlier this year
