While Paul has been running away with this year’s FBC Staff Championship since the very first round, second through sixth places have been a titanic battle between five staffers. Tony has had a reasonable gap over those immediately behind him for some time, but Monza allowed those competitors to move up considerably.
Now, whereas Paul has a massive thirty-four point gap over second place, second through fifth have just six points between them, with four of those staffers separated by just three points! Todd and Tom, currently tied in fifth, have both gone with Hamilton to win in Singapore. Should that be the end result, they will almost assuredly move ahead of the three in front of them, as they have all picked Vettel to take the victory.
Meanwhile, Paul is going out on a limb by picking Ricciardo to win, though Danny does have a good track record at this circuit.. Poor Palmer has been picked as First Out by a full half of us, while Kvyat, Mags, Ocon and Stroll get one nod apiece.
