As the Formula One circus enters the European portion of the year, some within the F1B staff foresee a shake up within the ‘normal’ top six finishers come race’s end in Spain. Where as all staffers are going with either a Hamilton or yet another Rosberg victory, not everyone is sticking to the usual podium comprising of the Mercedes duo and Ferrari’s Vettel.
Dave is thinking that the new kid at Red Bull is going to finally take his first podium, while Tony doesn’t even have Rosberg finishing in his top six! Haryanto and poor Dani Kvyat are each getting two nods to take First Out honors, as Verstappen, Nasr and Palmer get one pick apiece.

When were these picks made? JP’s Kvyat at #6 is a bit of a reach, plus given the events over the past week I’d have thought at least one person would have predicted a cheeky podium for the plucky teen :)
Edit: Nevermind, just noticed that Dave does indeed have Max at #3.
A keen eye my friend. tony was on vacation and asked for these very early on, last week in fact so our picks were cemented before the plucky teen news. None of us would have left him out of the picks had we picked a day or two ago.

…and first out will be Palmer.
can anyone say Egg on my face as in my face? well all i can say is that luck being what it is in F1 i thought Verstappen might get punted out on lap one and some how Daniil would have a great race. like i said, egg on my face. but me thinks the silver lining is that i might have moved back into first place. go figure….
