F1B Staff picks: Japanese GP

As the teams get out there wet weather tires, the F1B staff are busy trying to decided, for the umpteenth race in a row, just which of the two factory Mercedes drivers will win this weekend’s Grand Prix. Recent favorite Lewis Hamlton leads the way again with seven votes to teammate Rosberg’s four. Seven staffers also pick the duo to fill the two top spots on the podium, while Ricciardo gets three picks to take the second step, while his own teammate Vettel get’s Jake’s choice for the runner up position this weekend. The honor’s of First Out see the usual suspects, though Kobayashi is getting two nods in his home race. Maldonado, meanwhile, was only picked twice, as well. That must be some sort of record low!
