What on earth is going to happen this weekend in Baku?!? With a straight that seems to go on forever and portions of the course that are narrowed down by what appear to be castles storming the track, drivers and fans alike must surely be looking forward to the latest circuit to host the European Grand Prix.
With First Practice already run, the usual suspects are at the top of the speed list and five of seven FBC staffers are picking Lewis over Nico for the win this weekend. Paul once again is the odd one out as he sees Vettel getting Ferrari’s first win of the season. This may be Paul’s best opportunity to claw himself out of last position. Dave and Tony are the only staffers who are not vetting (pun intended?) on some form of a Hamilton-Rosberg-Vettel podium.
Tony is replacing Seb with Ricciardo and Dave is putting the Aussie in place of the WDC points leader. In fact, Dave has Rosberg as First Out! Kvyat gets two nods to leave the race first, while Button, Verstappen, Haryanto, Wehrlein and Palmer get one pick each.
