Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!
With no absolutely outrageous switch-ups in the running, the Mexican Grand Prix turned out to be a relatively high-scoring round for our contenders. Twice in a row, early championship leader ElBerto has won again two races on the trot, whilst most of the front-running participants were close on their heels. In second place was dr-baker, whose consistency has pushed him back into the lead of the championship! But more on that later. Here's the results from Mexico:

- CaptainGetz12 12
- mario 12
13. Pacific 777 11
14. Bleu 8
*point for funniest alternative race title
And there you have it. Defending champion RAK has been dropped to second, only 1.17 points off the lead, whilst ElBerto and 2017 champion mario seem to me like the other serious contenders. But with three races to go, let's see what happens. Here are the standings:

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!
It's a narrow lead, but it's a lead nonetheless, one that I wasn't anticipating! But can I hold it for the final few races, or will it be like Dan Cammish at Brands Hatch in BTCC this year, peaking just one race too soon?
