With the top five in the F1B Staff standings separated by a mere twelve points, Japan could stand to be a game changer, even if every one of those five staffers have picked Lewis Hamilton to take the win. Grace, J.P. and Andrew are all counting on Vettel to come home second, however, while Paul and Tom are both seeing a return to the Mercedes One-Two finish.
So even if Lewis does take yet another victory, there will more than likely be some changes in the standings. Tony is once again hoping that Rosberg can reach the top step again, the lone dissenter amongst the Hamilton fan club. Pastor Maldonado seems to have some competition of his own in the fight for First Out. Both McLaren drivers get two picks apiece, while Perez is the only other choice this week not named Pastor.
