Well, we have made it to the 11th round of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the decreasingly popular fantasy Formula 1 game of an increasingly popular sub-blog of Jalopnik.com. Only 6 days for the few of you who play to get in your picks for this round, so I'll make this intro short, with far less rambling, much less ranting, fewer run-on sentences, more dietary fiber, less protein, no fake shitty accents, and a crappier intro picture.

Let's do this. Mercedes will of course be strong, but this track should suit Red Bull. On the other hand, Williams could keep outpace the bulls on every terrain.

1. Hamilton - one of his favorite tracks.

2. Vettel - he's coming back, slowly but surely

3. Massa - Motivated by flashbacks from 2009

Williams is fast in a straight line. Red Bull is fast in twisty bits. Hockenheim had a very nice long straight. Hungary does not. I expect Red Bull to be extremely close to Mercedes. Hamilton Rosberg Ricciardo with Ricciardo on pole but due to tire degradation not able to maintain the spot.

For everyone picking a Bottas podium do you have any understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the various chassis' this season?

Q Hamilton - will DNF with car trouble (25% chance he is able to run a full race but his poor pit box positioning cost him vital 10ths for a podium)

Vettel will also DNF with power issues (33.3% chance he is able finish 6th just ahead of alonzo and kimi)

Chances masa survives first lap 50%, survives past first 5 laps 25%, chances massa makes it halfway though the race i he is able to survive first 5 laps 75%, gets taken out on last lap 25%...

He did fucking crash, why did you have to say something?

Technically, he didn't crash. He just got fucked from the get-go.

You realize pit boxes are pre-determined based on constructor results from the previous season? They pit in the same order every single race all year.

pmendoza502 > ncasolowork2 07/29/2014 at 12:33

0

im not talking about where the pit box is along pit row,

Im talking about how he places his car and comes to a stop in the pit box compared to rosberg and other drivers, because there has been some debate as to why rosbergs pitstops are more consistent and quicker than that of Hamilton... Rosberg and Hamilton have refereed to this in interviews as "hitting their marks"

ncasolowork2 > pmendoza502 07/29/2014 at 12:34

oh. Yeah. I paid close attention to it the last couple races. Seems to be doing better. Rosberg had the long stop this week as they tried to pull the blanking tape off.

pmendoza502 > ncasolowork2 07/29/2014 at 12:46

He seems to be getting better, but i think he had this problem with mclaren too, his stops look like hes pulling in, in a stock car, while everyone else seems to be on the needle point...

ncasolowork2 > pmendoza502 07/29/2014 at 12:49

At least he is better than Alonso. Did you see his parking job on the grid in Great Britain?

pmendoza502 > ncasolowork2 07/29/2014 at 13:04

haha yea that was hilarious! blew that run for him at silverstone because of that too, i bet he thought he was supposed to be further up the field hahaha

This is true. Hamilton hasn't been letting me down. Mercedes on the other hand... I'm not real happy with them.
