2018 Austrian Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

All right all right all right! Without further ado let's get the 2018 Austrian Predicament Predictions Round up and running, shall we? It's F1's first ever triple header, so let's try not to get too fatigued by the time Silverstone comes around, eh :P

Here's the blank slate, you should know the drill by now. Get your predictions in by the end of Third Practice, or there'll be a penalty of something or other. I am Max Mosley, Jean Todt and that other French FIA guy all rolled in one, so beware of any inconsistent harsh penalties if you break the rules.

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

Fastest lap:
First retirement:

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.


1. Max Verstappen
2. Marcus Ericsson (what a twist!)
3. Sebastian Vettel
4. Kimi Raikkonen
5. Valtteri Bottas
6. Nico Hulkenberg
7. Carlos Sainz Jr.
8. Charles Leclerc
9. Lewis Hamilton
10. Fernando Alonso

Pole: Lewis Hamilton
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton
First retirement: Brendon Hartley
ROTR: Daniel Ricciardo (for crashing into Hamilton, claiming it was Lewis's fault, and then punching a camera man and then throwing out a bunch of racial slurs all over social media, and then quitting Red Bull and moving to Formula E).
IIDOTR: Marcus Ericsson
DBTMOTR: Daniel Ricciardo
MLP: Charles Leclerc
DNS: Pierre Gasly (his car breaks down halfway round the formation lap)

Good luck everyone :)

Can I make a separate set of predictions with a Random Number Generator just for funzies?

Or would that be too much of a pain in the arse to remember not to mix it up with my actual predictions?

Getting through these results quickly, so here we go. The winner of the Austrian GP Predicament Predictions is... me! I'd like to thank God, my mother, and all the rest. I swear this is not a fix. It was a low-scoring round, with only four contenders in double-digits. Here are the results:

Results
1. Rob Dylan 15
2. You-Gee-Eee-Day 14
3. CarloSpace 11

5. dr-baker 9
6. UgncreativeUsergname 8
7. Klon 7

9. Bleu 6
- mario 6
- RAK 6
12. Aguvazk 5
- Enforcer 5
- tommykl 5
15. Gertrand Bachot 4*
*no points for qualifying due to late submission
**point for funniest alternative race title


This doesn't change that much in terms of the overall standings, except that dr-baker has extended his lead by a tiny amount, with the top runners remaining in their stable positions. Nobody got most of the special guesses such as ROTR and IIDOTR, so still a low score at the very top.

Standings
1. dr-baker 123.6
2. mario 116.6
3. RAK 116
