With four picks for Hamilton, three for Rosberg and one for Vettel, this week’s F1B staff picks for the win are the most varied that they’ve been since the opening round of the season. And since almost anything can happen in Monaco, all eight of us could be wrong come Sunday.
A Hamilton-Rosberg-Vettel combination, with various finishing orders, make up seven of eight podiums, with Dave being the odd staffer out by going with Rosberg-Vettel-Raikkonen. Daniel Ricciardo figures into five staffer’s picks, so Mr. Smiley appears to be making a comeback in the hearts of F1B. Pastor gets his usual minimum of three nods as First Out, while poor Will Stephens is close behind with two. You know, who would have thought that, five rounds into the 2015 season, neither Manor Marussia has been First Out yet. Good on those folks!

Any reason for the VER choice?
He’s shown some flashes of brilliance. I think he’s due for a good result.
