2018 German Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

It seems like an age since the last time we saw an F1 race (sarcasm), so after our massive two-week-long break, let's have another round of Predicament Predictions, this time brought to you in Hockenehim (ooooh!).

Any questions about the rules, just ask. Here's your blank slate:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Pole:
Fastest lap:
First retirement:
ROTR:
IIDOTR:
DBTMOTR:
MLP:
DNS:

There's always a point for the funniest alternative race title you guys can come up with. The candidates for Minor League Premiership are the usual: Leclerc; Gasly; Hartley; Sirotkin. And if you haven't used them yet, you're always welcome to activate double points for one round only.



My predictions will be:
1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Valtteri Bottas
3. Sebastian Vettel
4. Max Verstappen
5. Daniel Ricciardo
6. Nico Hulkenberg
7. Kimi Raikkonen
8. Fernando Alonso
9. Charles Leclerc
10. Kevin Magnussen

Pole: Lewis Hamilton
Fastest lap: Kimi Raikkonen
First retirement: Stoffel Vandoorne
ROTR: Kimi Raikkonen (he completely backtracks on his cool calm way of dealing with the Silverstone incident and proceeds to harrass various people over the radio for a first-lap incident that was 100% his fault)
IIDOTR: Backmarkers (for really fighting Raikkonen as he tried to make his way up the field)
DBTMOTR: Stoffel Vandoorne
MLP: Charles Leclerc
DNS: Stoffel Vandoorne

Good luck everyone :dance:

The 2018 Culturally insensitive German political ruling party comment Grand Prix

1. Verstappen
2. Hamilton
3. Vettel
4. Räikkönen
5. Ricciardo
6. Bottas
7. Hulkenberg
8. Leclerc
9. Magnussen
10. Ericsson

Pole: Hamilton
Fastest lap: Räikkönen (breaking his own record, and keeping with the unprecedented trend of Räikkönen actually doing things during a race)
First retirement: Ocon (in a move which will surprise everyone, the French driver will be the target of a controversial aggressive over-take)
ROTR: Grosjean
IIDOTR: Hulkenberg
DBTMOTR: Grosjean
MLP: Leclerc
DNS: Stroll

The 2018 Don't mention the old track - it's much better now that Hockenheim isnt just a power/aero workout German GP

1. Sebastian Vettel
2. Kimi Raikkonen
3. Lewis Hamilton
4. Valtteri Bottas
5. Daniel Ricciardo
6. Max Verstappen
7. Romain Grosjean
8. Kevin Magnussen
9. Charles Leclerc
10. Marcus Ericsson

Pole: Sebastian Vettel
Fastest lap: Kimi Raikkonen
First retirement: Hartley
ROTR: Hartley, who , overcome with emotion at completing lap 1 at racing speed, chucks it off the track entering the stadium on lap 2
IIDOTR: Leclerc - for hanging on to the pack
DBTMOTR: Hartley
MLP: Charles Leclerc
DNS: Gasly

Honestly , I'm not having this stuff about Hockenheim being a great track in the old days - when it was team-by-team grid formation because driver skill made so little difference, 70% of the track had no spectators ( who only got 45 laps/chances to see the cars), and the accidents were scary .
BTW in tribute to the 1990 grid formation and theprevalence of 'Noah's Ark' grids, I have done my predictions in homage.
I started supporting Emmo in 1976 (3 points )....missed 75, 74, 73, 72...

So in an unpredictable German Grand Prix, we have a middling- to low-scoring round, which was won decisively by AdrianBelmonte_! Their second win of the season, this brings us another round where the high-scorers were mostly outside of the championship front-runners. RAK, who led most of the championship up until Canada, closes in on dr-baker by a point, whilst Klon, mario and This Could Be You all suffer small scores. But once again, not too much changes at the front in terms of positions.

Results
1. AdrianBelmonte_ 15*
2. Rob Dylan 12
- Dexter249 12
- RAK 12

5. Enforcer 11
- tommykl 11
- dr-baker 11
8. UgncreativeUsergname 10
- Bleu 10
10. Gertrand Bachot 9
- Aguvazk 9
12. yannicksamlad 8
- Klon 8
- mario 8
15. This Could Be You 7
16. You-Gee-Eee-Day 6
17. CarloSpace 5
*funniest alternative race title

This brings us one step closer to the summer break, and after the Hungarian round, I'll show all of you who don't know just what the prize will be for winning this year's championship! So keep those predictions coming. Here are the standings after 11 rounds.

Standings
1. dr-baker 145.6
2. RAK 142
3. Klon 138
