Well, we are back in Europe. This is where Lewis will usually hit his straps however I feel that Nico will overcome his problems of last year.
With that, I feel that Nico will again triumph over Lewis.
The battle for third will again be between the Ferrari team mates with Sebastian ahead of Kimi.
Now comes the interesting part. Will Daniel show the form from China and harass the Ferrari's or not? My feeling is the best of the rest.
Williams still haven't shown the form I would think that they are capable of so they are next with probably Filipe finishing ahead of homeboy Daniil, Bottas and then Grosjean.
The battle for the final place in the 10 will be between Max, Carlos, Hulk and maybe a McLaren.
So, mine are in 10 'n' Pole, are yours?

Oh, how I would like to give 2 drivers of the day.
1. Fernando Alonso. What more is there to say. He, and his underpowered Honda McLaren came home a creditable 6th far exceeding my expectations.
2. Kevin Magnussen. On a day that the other Renault powered team would rather forget, he stayed out of trouble in the early parts of the race and then lapped consistently to finish in 7th.
Sure, both these drivers were a lap down at the end but both did enough justify my picks for Driver of the Day.

Incidentally, does the site/forum have a Twitter account? Just curious, as the nun said to the archbishop.
