2017 Malaysian Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Welcome to the 2017 Formula 1™ Petronas™ Malaysian™ Predicament Predictions!

The home of the overtake, the Sepang-Ring, hosts its apparently final grand prix. To mark this momentous occasion, we have our next round in the predicaments predictions championship! Without further ado:

1. Valtteri Bottas
2. Sebastian Vettel
3. Kimi Räikönnen
4. Daniel Ricciardo
5. Nico Hulkenberg
6. Max Verstappen
7. Jolyon Palmer
8. Sergio Perez
9. Lance Stroll
10. Felipe Massa

Pole position: Lewis Hamilton
Fastest lap: Sebastian Vettel
First retirement: Lewis Hamilton
Reject of the Race: Lewis Hamilton (repsonsible for whatever happened)
Infinite Improbability of the Race: Nico Hulkenberg
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race: Lewis Hamilton
Minor League Premiership: Lance Stroll
Did Not Start: Marcus Ericsson

As normal, use double points for the first time whenever you like. Just say so if you want to! I'll as usual give a bonus point for the funniest alternative race title.

Which will depend on whether it's Alan Jones or Emanuele Pirro in the stewards' office...

I'll do what I did to CoopsII, which is far as I'm aware will be my standard penalty for late submissions - no points will be awarded for your guess at pole position. :chilton:
