Who will win?

 

Hamilton has to win sometime, right?

 

Having already seen the 5 grid spot penalty for Vettel, I am going with LH. I don't think Vettel would have gotten pole, but there was a strong chance he would win the race. Still possible, but not likely.

Hamilton has to break the streak at some point but I pick Daniel Ricciardo for the win so that Patrick down under doesn't have to write a post that says we're not noticing... Street courses suit the RBR chassis.. hoping that both Mercs knock each other out on turn 1

I think Hammy is going to dig down this weekend and pull out a win.

That being said, I still think this is Nico's year. It all comes down to who wants it more and I think Nico wants it bad.

 

Well looks like Nico is going to join Schumi on the 7-in-a-row win club.
Hammy has definitely had some bad breaks this season but Nico seems very much to be on his game.

 

Yeah - that kills my previous prediction.

Revised:

Rosberg will win. I've been watching Ferrari's pace and while strong, Mercedes always seem to have more to spare. Personally, I don't think that Ferrari will win more than 2 races this year. Hope I'm wrong, but the fact that Mercedes feels the need to talk up Ferrari's progress indicates to me the fact that they're trying to get people to pay attention to their achievements in an era that has legislated dominance into the Formula. It didn't HAVE to be Mercedes, but whoever got it "right' starting in 2014 was going to have a cushion before anyone else came close. Just MHO.

 

If Hamilton did not have bad luck he would not have any luck at all. But he seems to be acting like an adult so that is something one can feel good about it.

 

Lol and thanks but it will be dumb luck for him to win here. RBs just don't have the all out pace of the other 6.

 

Late to the thread and after seeing practive and quali its hard not to see NR winning unless his car also has an issue akin to Hammy.

Other than 1st place it should be a good race with Hammy and Vettel coming through the field.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of one of the darkest days in F1......here's hoping for a good clean race incident free.

RIP Ayrton and Roland.

 

Picked the wrong week for Rosberg to catch a bit of bad luck. Nicely done Nico.

Vettel/Kyvat aftermath should be interesting.

 

I didn't like Kvyat before. Now I HATE him for taking out my boy in the first few corners. He should have got more than a ten second penalty.

The race was pretty much uninteresting after that. Haas continues to shine with Grosjean. Guiterrez is a disaster and should be replaced with Rossi. McLaren is slowly making their way back to the front. Williams continue to make in race blunders. They should have had a podium. Nico is no longer a bitch. That's Hamster's role now!

 

Seb is gonna start thinking Kyvat was hired to put a hit on him. I think VET's initial angry comments were certainly justified and I can't believe the composure he showed when they interviewed him later on. Maybe they gave him a Xanax before letting him interview.

 

It's nice to see that the Russian Grand Prix mimics the drivers on the public Russian roads.



EDIT: Kyvat is blaming a 4 time world champion. Talented driver but a douche extrodinaire.
