My bag of bones says this.
1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Riccardo
4. Vettle
I'll stick with these 4. But 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 may be reversed. lol
HASS may get a point?

Should be late enough to where I won't spoil anything, but if you ain't watched the F-1 Shoe errr show read no further.
Wow.... That was interesting. I can't really blame Vettel for that crash. Verstappen left a hole. Vettel filled it. Then Rosberg closed the door on the whole field. If Nikki could have squeaked out a couple more seconds I would have got my third pick for third. Kind of through the back door. But bull frogs DON't have wings. Pretty darn good race even if HASS put it in a double crapper.

Rosberg should have been a non-issue. He had plenty of room to the left. Of course hind sight is 20/20. And it's probably considerably worse from the cockpit of an F-1. I backed it up and went frame by frame. Out of all involved, imo, Vettel was the least at fault.
http://www.formula1.com/en/video.htm
At around 0:11 to 0:12 Verstappen moves well towards the center of the track leaving a huge opening for Vettel. By 0:14 Vettel is well beside the Red Bull. At 0:15 Verstappen contacts Vettel's Rear left wheel. At 0:14 Roseberg realizes he's about to lose second to Vettel and attempts to drop down in front of the whole field appearing to crowd Verstappen which causes the contact with Vettel.
The reason I make a deal of this is, Verstappen was very vocal from the cockpit. Maybe trying to shift blame for his own dumbass move? "Nature abhors a vacume." So seems to be the same with F-1. You can't leave a gap like that on a start and not expect someone to fill it.
This link to the start evidently doesn't work. It was the smoothest video of the ones I looked at. So if you want to see frame by frame you'll have to go online to find it. Sorry.

No. Other than his inexperience. My recording cut off right as Max was drinking his "Shooey."

Going to have to chunk another bone or two into the old voodoo bag.
OK.... I don't mean to harp on this. But really ! ! ! Vettel got a three grid spot penalty to start the Japanese GP? I must not be watching the same footage of Malaysia GP that everyone else is.

I'll throw those other two bones in the bag for Austin. Honestly I don't think they'd even been a factor for picking Japan.... Never saw that Vettel thing coming. Not in a million years. That was a game changer. Mercedes is doing fine on it's own with out the help of the FIA giving it preferential treatment.
Dang ! HASS was so close again to getting more points.

OK.... Chunking two more bones in the bag for Austin and shaking them up. Letting 'em roll.
Comes out
1. Riccardo
2. Vettel
3. Verstappen
4. Rosberg
5. Ice Man
10th spot HASS. In The Bible, this is called "child like faith."

I might be missing something or I might not have posted correctly. But my first choice for 3rd place was Daniel Riccardo in Austin. Followed by the other four choices. Would that not have erased that goose egg?

This one looks up for grabs. Going to say for Mexico.....
1.Riccardo..... I really like his attitude
2.Verstappen.....I think RB has Ferrari's #
3.Vettle..........Looks like he's on a mission
4."Ice Man".....Next fastest team
5."The Hulk" He's due.
If the top 7 cars DNF???? HASS has a chance at a point this week.

Just got to see Qualifying. Even though Grosjean placed 7th in Q1 that doesn't give me the confidence to list him even as a 5th choice for 3rd. Will say HASS has another chance for multiple points.
As far as my 5 for 3rd go. The bones say:
1. Vettel
2. Verstappen
3. Riccardo
4. "The Ice Man"
5. "The Hulk"

Hate I got in so late to the game. Anyone good at percentages? That would be the only way I could level up with y'all. "Good Boss willin' and the creek don't rise." (that's a Southern saying.) I'll be around next season for the first through the last race. They say things are in for a change next season. Maybe everyone won't be left out in the cold like this year. It'd be cool to see no domination on the track next year.
