Voting against Lewis Hamilton to win his home Grand Prix this weekend may indeed be a foolhardy venture, judging both by the British fan hysteria, as well as the F1B staff picks. Not that it is really that much out of the norm in regards to the season so far, but six of eight staffers are picking LewHam for the win.
In fact, all six of them are in for a Hamilton/Rosberg one-two at the finish. The only doubters are Dave, who is going with that other guy at Mercedes and Tony, who is hoping to make up some lost ground by going way out on a limb. Not only is he taking Vettel for the win, but he has also chosen Hamilton as First Out!
The poor McLaren duo are also getting their fair share of picks to leave the race before anyone else with Jenson Button getting three picks and Alonso getting two. Maldonado and Kvyat get a nod each, as well. Whatever happens at Silverstone, we know that, should Lewis win, the fans will go mad. And if Lewis loses…the fans will go mad.
