Predictions complete, full house tomorrow 
F1 Zorg & Badger GP Fantasy Grand Prix 2016
- Thread starter hard top
- Start date
Third engine gone into Lewis Hamilton's car this weekend so that will take Hamilton up to a 55 place grid penalty.
Hamilton will only race in the first qualifying session, because he's already guaranteed to start at the back of the grid.
Why even do Q1? Because cars that don't set a time within 107% of the quickest lap in Q1 are not allowed to race (unless the stewards give them a waiver), so it's not worth the risk sitting it out.

Should Rosberg win the race, seventh place for Hamilton would keep him level on points with his title rival.
Hamilton chasing half century
If, by miracles of miracles, Hamilton could muster a win on Sunday, he'd move on to 50 career victories - just 41 more to go to catch Michael Schumacher.

Verstappen's army
The 18-year-old Dutchman with a Belgian mum was actually born in Belgium, about 100km from Spa - and a sea of orange has swept over the border from the Netherlands to swell the support for the Red Bull man.
Loud, proud and a bit bonkers that orange army.

As good as Michael Schumacher was, some of those wins were given to him by team orders as we witnessed on numerous occasions.Hamilton chasing half century

Summary
- Rosberg wins, Ricciardo 2nd, Hamilton 3rd from back of grid
- Race delayed after Magnussen crashes heavily at Eau Rouge
- Verstappen and Ferraris crash at first corner
