Thank goodness Lewis Hamilton has decided that his partying has not been so excessive that he could not race in Brazil. Otherwise, five staffers would have had to change their plans and pick someone else for the win! Only Andrew and Dave are voting on Rosberg to take his second straight win, while Tony is hoping that Vettel will pull another one out of Ferrari’s bag.
Everyone bar Andrew is picking some sort of Hamilton/Rosberg/Vettel podium. Andrew, in fact is not even seeing Lewis factoring into his top six picks. First Out honors are pretty scattered, with only Maldonado and Raikkonen getting a couple of picks apiece. Dave is hoping that the Kimster will get lost again! In that close knit battle for second, in which five staffers are separated by just five points, only Andrew and Paul have not gone for a Hamilton-Rosberg-Vettel exact finishing order for the podium. So we could see another mix up in that group following Sunday’s race.
