Spanish Grand Prix 2014: B/R Experts Predict Pole, Race Winner and More

As the Formula One season heads to Europe, our Bleacher Report F1 experts are doing their best to predict the key results from the 2014 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Mercedes have dominated the early-season races, and many are expecting them to stay in front for at least the first half of the season.

With a three-week break between races, however, there has been time for the teams to take stock and work on extracting still more performances from their cars.

Here are our best guesses:

How the scores are calculated

The right answer earns you one point, except in the case of total finishers where you can be two cars either side. However, if you predict the exact correct number of finishers, you pick up two points.
