Much like the love between Red Bull teammates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, it appears that some of the F1B staff are taking a bit of a break from this week’s picks. But that’s okay…sometimes life gets in the way, much like team orders. If anything, it gives the rest of us an opportunity to hopefully get a leg up on the competition, much like the queue of drivers not named Mark Webber who must be sending in their CVs to Deitrich Mateschitz right now. But for the time being, the German apology flip flopper known as Vettel still appears to be the staff favorite, with three of us picking him for the win in this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso gets the nod from two staffers, while Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen get a pick each. The choices for First Out are across the board, though van der Garde does seem to have tugged at the heart strings of both Todd and our birthday boy, Andrew. How will things shake up in China? It definitely promises to be interesting, doesn’t it?
