Hello buddies! It is time for a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! double header, meaning that due to time restraints, we're gonna keep this one short. Yup, totally nothing wrong here, not a civil war or "religious" nut jobs here, nope, not at all.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Lewis Hamilton won a relatively easy race. Nico remains the perpetual bridesmaid and Vettel got third, but only because the race finished under a safety car after Max Verstappen's Renault engine gave up the ghost on the start finish strait. They could have finished the race as a race had it not been for the track crew's inability to just stick it in there. Here is a reenactment of what happened:

Seriously, Kimi was hunting Sebastian down like a dog when the safety car was deployed and many of our points were lost. Meanwhile, the Williams finished 5th & 6th. Romaine Lettuce scored points!!!!!!!! The McLarens both finished the race as did the Manor cars, the race for not last in the championship intensifies.

On to this upcoming race with absolutely nothing to worry about. Will the results keep repeating themselves? Will Manor score more points than McLaren? Will Red Bull rage quit F1? Can Ferrari win another race? Will there be protests this year? Nope, seriously, I keep telling you, nothing to see here, please move along.

Your drivers:

Lewis Hamilton- Mercedes

Nico Rosberg- Mercedes

Daniel Ricciardo- Red Bull

Daniil Kvyat- Red Bull

Felipe Massa- Williams

Valtteri Bottas- Williams

Sebastian Vettel- Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen- Ferrai

Kevin Magnussen Fernando Alonso- McLaren

Jenson Button- McLaren

Nico Hulkenberg- Force India

Sergio Perez- Force India

The Wee Baby Max Verstappen- Torro Rosso

Carlos Sainz, Jr.- Torro Rosso

Pastor Maldonado- Lotus

Romain Grosjean- Lotus

Felipe Nasr- Sauber

Marcus Ericsson- Sauber

Will Stevens- Manor

Roberto Merhi- Manor

My picks are as follows:

Q. Lewis Hamilton

1. Lewis Hamilton

2. Nico Rosberg

3. Kimi Raikkonen

Curse: No curse from me this week.

The rest of you have until q1 to make your picks. No changing them, don't be late, and this is the last round to get in on the excitement if you've been holding out.

Good luck, but why would you need it if there is nothing wrong?

Good luck, but why would you need it if there is nothing wrong?

Because jackfuck did show up before. If Ferrari tries REALLY HARD (and I mean REALLY REALLY HARD ), most of the Silver Arrow pickers will have to think twice. Then again, it'd take 4 straight wins from the Scuderia (Kimi, Seb, whoever) to make all comers here REALLY THINK about who to pick, and by then Pastor has already challenged for podium places (he'd crash out, inevitably but at least he would be able to keep it to himself and it would give Grosjean the good stuff he deserves).

In any case, just ring me up when FP2 is over. The next races (from here) will happen while I'm asleep, and I wouldn't have any more next-door neighbor advantage until Japan and Singapore.

Because we are brothers, and men of honor, I must inform you that you gave me 18 points for China that I did not earn. As much as I wanted Rosberg to finish shy of the podium, he, in fact, did.

On the anniversary of the most "exciting" race last season I pick:

Q. Rosberg

1. Hamilton

2. Vettel

3. Raikonnen

Curse: Rosberg!!!!!

I don't hate the guy, but his whining is bad for business. He either needs to race dirty like in Spa, or shut up and take his team orders bonus check like a man. Hamilton is genuinely flawless in his racecraft this year, looking at the fuel, tires, and car. Dude's got what it takes to be a multi-year champion. I am bored of seeing the silver arrows at the top of the pops every week, but what can you do. I am betting Rosberg taking too many chances this weekend and putting himself out.

PS: I apologize for missing last weeks picks, Moving house and DIY projects can sure swallow up your time, not mention I have to pay taxes this week.
