Pick the Podium: F-1 - British Grand Prix, Silverstone, England-2015

Retroram52 · Jul 2, 2015

Hamilton has been on a streak of bad-luck races and Rosberg has the momentum. Ferrari has been a significant disappointment often qualifying well and then falling apart during the race. No one else appears to be in contention as we continue on into the season.

Retroram52 · Jul 3, 2015

First practice has Rosberg setting the pace after some initial mechanical woes. Here are the top six.

1 NICO ROSBERG 1:34.155 34
2 KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN 1:34.502 +0.347s 29
3 SEBASTIAN VETTEL 1:34.522 +0.367s 27
4 LEWIS HAMILTON 1:34.621 +0.466s 23
5 DANIIL KVYAT 1:35.009 +0.854s 25
6 DANIEL RICCIARDO 1:35.153 +0.998s 22

Gonna go with

Rosberg
Kimi
Vettel

Retroram52 · Jul 4, 2015

Rosberg and Hamilton are going back and forth for P-1.

IndyAndy · Jul 4, 2015

I think Hamilton has realized that it's time to take Rosberg seriously & raise his game.

My Picks:

Hamilton
Rosberg
Bottas

Gonna change it up!!

Lewis
Kimi
Bottas

I'm desperate.

Eugene Baker III · Jul 4, 2015

My Scuderia in third row. Kimi better after two crappy weeks. Vettel probably hoping for rain.

Eugene Baker III · Jul 4, 2015

I say Rosberg, Vettel, Bottas.....trifecta boxed.

Hamilton either wins or he pitches a fit on the radio.

DANGIT. Beat me to it. Bottas looked STROONG in Qualifying. He's managing the Williams better than Massa it seems.

But anyway, gotta try and score points somehow...

I'll go with Hamilton, Rosberg, and Bottas. Raikkonen may put a kabosh to the Williams team and he looks like he wants to prove something at Silverstone. Unfortunately he has one good lap and one bad lap.

IndyAndy · Jul 5, 2015

Did Williams throw a victory away by not letting Bottas pass Massa? :noidea:

IndyAndy · Jul 5, 2015

And now we've got wet again, dry again conditions...

Retroram52 · Jul 5, 2015

Typical England. Wet, dry, wet, dry.

Retroram52 · Jul 5, 2015

Hamilton takes it followed by Rosberg and Vettel.

Not a win, because Valteri struggled when it got wet (or gave up), but they certainly threw away their chance to hold the AMG Mercs up. Bottas should have been able to get enough of a lead to get out in front of Hamilton on the first round of stops. Massa slowed him up considerably.

Hank Kingsley · Jul 5, 2015

Botched by Williams for sure.

And calling Kimi in so early was a Ferrari stuff up. Massa would understand that one from his days understudying MS.

I liked how Lewis tried a different approach after the safety car than last race when he let Rosberg run and hide. It was risky and could have cost him dearly but it shows he was thinking about it.

IndyAndy · Jul 5, 2015

Sorry that this took so long, but after the Rolling Stones show last night & the drive home this morning, I needed a nap!

Here's how we did:

Retroram52, forty_three & IndyAndy: 7 points each - picked winner & 2nd place
Hank Kingsley: 5 points - picked winner
Eugene Baker III: 2 points - got Rosberg & Vettel out of position.

Season Totals so far:

IndyAndy: 67 points
Retroram52: 58 points
forty_three: 53 points
Hank Kingsley: 38 points
Eugene Baker III: 2 points

Next Up: Hungary, on July 26th.

Retroram52 · Jul 5, 2015

Now we enter into the part of the schedule with big three-week gaps between races.
