2019 Spanish Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

A few days late with this, but here we go! It's Spain, Round 5, and now that we know the pecking order, higher points appear to be in order for the rest of the season. Let's go!


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.


My predictions shall be done with double points! Here they are:

1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Valtteri Bottas
3. Max Verstappen
4. Sebastian Vettel
5. Lando Norris
6. Carlos Sainz Jr.
7. Charles Leclerc
8. Kimi Raikkonen
9. Sergio Pérez
10. Lance Stroll

Pole: Lewis Hamilton
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton
First retirement: Pierre Gasly
ROTR: Pierre Gasly (a silly error on the first lap)
IIDOTR: Lando Norris (unrejectifies himself on pure merit)
DBTMOTR: Pierre Gasly
MLP: Lando Norris
SCs: 2


As usual, you have until the end of FP3 to get your votes in without penalty.

So the results are in, and in something of a repeat of the 2018 season, dr-baker has shot to the top of the standings with a fantastic result using double points masterfully. The status quo has finally been understood by our players, and those with or without double points earned great points. For example, the defending champion RAK earned 22 points without them, and wasn't even in the podium positions! Incredible. Let's have a look, shall we?

Results
1. dr-baker 38**
2. AdrianBelmonte_ 36**
3. Rob Dylan 34**

4. RAK 22
5. Fetzie 19
6. Bleu 19
7. mario 18***
8. tommykl 18
9. Gertrand Bachot 16
10. You-Gee-Eee-Day 15
11. ElBerto 13
12. CarloSpace 13
13. Enforcer 13
14. CaptainGetz12 12
15. UncreativeUsername37 11
16. FortiWinks 9
17. Aguvazk 9
18. yannicksamlad 8
19. Psyclepath 4*
*half-points for late submission
**used double points
***point for funniest alternative race title




Just on an interesting note, very few of us put Gasly in our top 10s. It seems that in either predictable or unpredictable top 10s, so few have faith in the guy who basically has at least 6th in the bag every race weekend.

But anyway, the main standings have suddenly all been shifted. ElBerto has been superseded at the top of the championship by dr-baker, though both of them have used double points and so are basically even at the top at this point. The dark horse is definitely RAK right now, who is quite close to the front, and hasn't used their double points yet. Here's a look at the standings:

Standings
1. dr-baker 84.5
2. ElBerto 81
3. tommykl 68

4. RAK 66
5. Gertrand Bachot 66
6. Aguvazk 55
7. mario 64
8. Rob Dylan 63
9. Bleu 57
10. You-Gee-Eee-Day 55
11. Fetzie 52
12. CarloSpace 52
13. AdrianBelmonte_ 50
14. UncreativeUsername37 44
15. CaptainGetz12 43
16. FortiWinks 36
17. This Could Be You 35
18. Enforcer 35
19. yannicksamlad 32
20. Klon 19
21. pi314159 15
22. golic_2004 13
23. Pacific 777 8
24. Psyclepath 4

See you next time, folks! :dance:
