Voted for Vettel. But the Silver Arrows won't spare any quarter. Hoping this will be a fun race.

Lewis.

Looking for a good showing from Red Bull.
3 different teams in the top 3.

A 2

Wehrlein to sit out the Chinese Grand Prix as well. Expects to be back in the seat by Bahrain or Russia

Wehrlein continues absence in China, Giovinazzi deputises again - Formula 1 - The Checkered Flag

I'll modify the poll later to include Giovinazzi in place of Pascal if I can edit a poll that has already seen voting.

A 2

Nevermind- doesn't look like I can edit the poll. A vote for Wehrlein will be counted as a vote for Giovinazzi

Pascal has a drug or alcohol problem I think.

A 2

Moss and Fangio used to do it in the 50's to keep awake

Only 21 minutes of running in Friday Practice 1
F1 Racing News | Racer.com - Medical helicopter limits FP1 running in China


as you are all probably aware, FP2 was cancelled because weather conditions made it impossible for the medical helicopter to take off.

Voted Vettel for the win.

WAG- HAAS will score points, Lewis will finish behind his teammate, Max will use his paycheck to bail out his dad.

Vitt

I missed most of qualifying last night. What happened to Max? Did he Crash or have mechanical problems? Or just a bad day at the office with bad equipment?
