Pick the Podium: F-1 - Spielberg, Austria

[Retroram52]

After three practices, the usual combatants are at the top three spots: Rosberg, Hamilton, and Alonso.

Impressive effort by Williams - but I don't think that they hold Rosberg off in the race.

Massa
Bottas

Massa will bring it for Williams. Ricciardo will have some surprising luck on his team's track.

Not a good day for RBR on their 'home' track!

Plenty to smile about for Mercedes, though.

Here's how we did:

Retroram52 & IndyAndy: 7 points - Picked Rosberg to win, Bottas for 3rd
forty_three: 1 point - got Rosberg out of position

Season Totals so far:

Retroram52: 44 points
IndyAndy: 41 points
lakersrule: 40 points
forty_three: 27 points
BoiseStateFan27: 21 points

Next Up: Silverstone, on July 6.

Thanks for the calculations Indy. Still a tight race and Silverstone will be fun.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I always forget to make these picks. Maybe I should just start picking on Friday

 

[Retroram52]

I normally put up the new thread for a race on Fridays Boise. As soon as the particular race series completes a practice or two and we get an early indication of who is where on the grid is when I put up the new thread.

Forget my picks with the in-laws in town. Good race though and still only 4 points behind you Retro. Classic Silverstone up next!

 

[Retroram52]

Lakersrule. In-laws will do that to you. You've been pretty hot on your prognostications and I don't doubt it won't be long until you regain the lead. But we shall see. Silverstone is classic. I watched a documentary on ESPN last week-end that was entitled "1". That is it. It chronicled the history of F-1 covering the bloody years where F-1 wasn't very safety conscience and they were losing two-three drivers a season. That doc brought back alot of memories. If you get a chance to see it is well worth watching.
