2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Okey smokey, a little late with this one, but here goes. For those of you who haven't played this before, the idea is to get as many points as possible by being as accurate as possible to the real results this weekend. However, as things can often be completely unpredictable, let's try to predict the predicaments this weekend in the Azerbaijani Predicaments Predictions round, in this year's Predicament Predictions championship! Well that was a mouthful, 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):
Number of Safety Cars (SCs):

There's always a point for the funniest alternative race title you guys can come up with. The candidates for Minor League Premiership are: Alexander Albon; Antonio Giovinazzi; Lando Norris; George Russell. And you are always welcome to activate double points for one round only.



Azerbaijan is often a producer of races on the crazier side, so I am going to predict something suitably so.

1. Pierre Gasly
2. Lewis Hamilton
3. Valtteri Bottas
4. Sebastian Vettel
5. Charles Leclerc
6. Lance Stroll (always seems to do well)
7. Nico Hulkenberg
8. Kevin Magnussen
9. Romain Grosjean
10. Carlos Sainz Jr.

Pole: Max Verstappen
Fastest lap: Max Verstappen
First retirement: Lando Norris
Reject Of The Race (ROTR): Max Verstappen (takes himself and Ricciardo out when trying to lap him whilst in the lead)
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race (IIDOTR): Pierre Gasly
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race (DBTMOTR): Max Verstappen
Minor League Premiership (MLP): Alexander Albon
Number of Safety Cars (SCs): 4


Good luck everyone! :dance:

Baku is over, and in a season of quite low scores, we have our third winner in CaptainGetz12! In only their second race this season, they have outscored their rivals by quite a margin. Regular stalwart tommykl gets his first podium of the season, whilst dr-baker, who led the 2018 season for so long, finished third. Still almost nobody using double points this season, so almost all the wildcards remain to play for.


Results
1. CaptainGetz12 20* **
2. tommykl 14*
3. dr-baker 13

4. mario 12
5. You-Gee-Eee-Day 10
- This Could Be You 10
7. Rob Dylan 9
- ElBerto 9
- Aguvazk 9
10. Fetzie 8
11. UncreativeUsername37 7
- Enforcer 7
- RAK 7
- Gertrand Bachot 7
15. Bleu 6
16. FortiWinks 5
*CaptainGetz12 and tommykl get a consolatory point for guessing Sergio Pérez, when everything else associated with Racing Point gets three points.
**CaptainGetz12 gets a point for funniest alternative race title.


So as most of the front-runners scored siimlar low results, it means that some of the midfielders have caught up a little. ElBerto leads as they have done all season so far, and the lead remains stable.


Standings
1. ElBerto 68
2. Gertrand Bachot 50
3. tommykl 50

4. dr-baker 46.5
5. Aguvazk 46
6. mario 46
