As the F1 circus returns to the Red Bull Ring, or
Österreichring if you’re old like me, Lewis Hamilton remains the favorite amongst the F1B staffers. With six of eight voting for the World Driver’s Championship points leader to take the win, Paul foresees his Mercedes teammate, Nico Rosberg, stepping atop the podium on Sunday, just as he did in 2014. Dave, meanwhile, continues his efforts to make up some lost points via hoping for a Vettel victory.
A Hamilton-Rosberg-Vettel podium of some sort figures into everyone’s picks except for Grace and Andrew, who both think Bottas will once again take the third this weekend. Picks for First Out are completely across the board, with both McLaren AND both Red Bull drivers on the list, along with Massa and Perez making an appearance. Maldonado gets a somewhat mediocre two picks. Sounds like it’s time for him to pick up his game once again.
