2018 British Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Off to Milton Keynes for the race in about 15 minutes---realised I'd forgotten to open this thread. So here you go. Get predicting!

Blank slate:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Pole:
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.


My predictions are:

1. Valtteri Bottas
2. Lewis Hamilton
3. Max Verstappen
4. Sebastian Vettel
5. Daniel Ricciardo
6. Carlos Sainz Jr.
7. Kevin Magnussen
8. Fernando Alonso
9. Romain Grosejean
10. Charles Leclerc

Pole: Valtteri Bottas
Fastest lap: Max Verstappen (a late charge sees him nearly take the win)
First retirement: Nico Hulkenberg
ROTR: Stoffel Vandoorne (crashes on the formation lap of his own doing)
IIDOTR: Carlos Sainz Jr. (penalised in qualifying and comes from the pit-lane to the points)
DBTMOTR: Kimi Raikkonen
MLP: Charles Leclerc
DNS: Stoffel Vandoorne

Good luck everyone! Sorry this thread is rushed. When I get back from Silverstone I'll count up France and Austria as well, and update you on the scoreboard.
