Did not see Mercedes being so dominant and don't think there will be much change for the next few races.

We all thought Vettel would be the fastest Red Bull, but it turns out he's not bringing home the bacon this season. Ricciardo is the future of RB now ...

Current stat (Classified results will be used where both drivers fail to finish. A driver excluded from the results automatically finishes "behind" his team mate):
I'm not going to go through all the reasons why some drivers haven't scored as many points as others here - it's mostly to do with neither driver being classified at an event. The winning drivers in each team are:
Caterham - Kobayashi
Ferrari - Alonso
Force India - Hulkenberg
Lotus - Grosjean
Marussia - Bianchi
McLaren - Button
Mercedes - Hamilton
Red Bull - Ricciardo
Sauber - Gutierrez
Toro Rosso - Vergne
Williams - Bottas
The number of correct guesses by each person are:
Tubeguru - 5
nozzacook - 5

greatkingrat - 6
