2018 Hungarian Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Welcome my friends, to the show that never, ever, ever ends. It's the Predicament Predictions Championship, here brought to you at the Hungarian Grand Prix, our fifth race in six weekends. :facepalm: Don't let the fatigue get to you. All it takes is a simple prediction, including from any folks who haven't been participating up till now. A grand prize awaits the top three at the end of the year, so do your best to get it!


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:
Reject Of The Race (ROTR):
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race (IIDOTR):
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race (DBTMOTR)
Minor League Premiership (MLP):
Did Not Start (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. Max Verstappen
2. Sebastian Vettel
3. Daniel Ricciardo
4. Kimi Raikkonen
5. Lewis Hamilton
6. Charles Leclerc
7. Brendon Hartley
8. Kevin Magnussen
9. Fernando Alonso
10. Nico Hulkenberg

Pole: Sebastian Vettel
Fastest lap: Max Verstappen
First retirement: Valtteri Bottas (punted off at the start yet again)
ROTR: Carlos Sainz Jr. (multiple spins, hits his teammate, at the worst possible time in the silly season)
IIDOTR: Brendon Hartley (may have just saved his career)
DBTMOTR: Valtteri Bottas
MLP: Charles Leclerc
DNS: Romain Grosjean

Good luck everyone :dance:

IIDOTR: Hülkenberg (for consistent high point placement).

So going into the summer break, we have our first double-winner of the season! dr-baker and tommykl take the win in Hungary, with the former extending his lead by a small amount at the top of the championship, and the latter taking his first win of the season. Enforcer unfortunately scored the lowest of all the participants, but was saved somewhat with double points, continuing what has mostly been a jinx this season (Klon being the major exception). Here are the results:

Results
1. dr-baker 16
- tommykl 16
3. RAK 14
- Enforcer 14*

5. Bleu 12**
6. Klon 10

9. You-Gee-Eee-Day 9
- UgncreativeUsergname 9

- takagi_for_the_win 9
- Aguvazk 9
14. Gertrand Bachot 8
- Rob Dylan 8
- CarloSpace 8
- AdrianBelmonte_ 8
*used double points
**funniest alternative race title



dr-baker is still holding onto that lead of a few points at the very front. Any bad race could see him lose it, and who knows what could happen after the summer break. This is what the championship looks like with nine races remaining---looks pretty open to me!

Standings
1. dr-baker 161.6
2. RAK 156
3. Klon 148

4. mario 147.6
5. Enforcer 141
6. tommykl 136

I can't believe I have led this for as long as I have (however long it has been now). Still anticipating that one bad round before the end of the year. Just gonna be happy with a podium finish to be honest!

Predicament Predictions - Grand Prizes!

Post by Rob Dylan »

I promised, so I'll deliver! Feast your eyes on the Grand Prize for the 2018 Predicament Predictions championship!

Image
Notice the HD professional photography used to get this image.

For the winner of this year's championship, you will win yourself a signed, framed picture of famed reject Karun Chandhok, sporting his Hispania Racing Team overalls. I found it in the retro shop at the Woodlands Village in Silverstone, and the inspiration sprang to me the moment I laid my eyes on it. And it can be yours, if you guess right!

Enjoy the rest of the summer break :dance:
