2022 Spanish Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Hello one and all! Predicament Predictions is back for the always-exciting, always-full-of-overtakes Barcelona circuit. The rules haven't changed: as ever, be as accurate as possible with how the upcoming race is going to pan out on Sunday. You have until FP3 on Saturday to get your votes in. In the meantime, I'll get around to counting up our prior scores - I'm a little behind on that.

Here is your blank template:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Pole:
Fastest lap:
First retirement:
Reject of the Race:
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race:
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race:
Last Place:
How Far Back:

Anyone who has any questions, just ask here or send me a DM. All the rules are in the Bahrain Grand Prix thread. As always, the player with the funniest alternative race title gets a bonus point.




I reckon this will be a surprise Perez win. Leclerc and Verstappen to take each other out and the championship to get super interesting!

1. Sergio Perez
2. Carlos Sainz Jr.
3. Lando Norris (again!)
4. George Russell
5. Valtteri Bottas
6. Lewis Hamilton
7. Fernando Alonso
8. Yuki Tsunoda
9. Kevin Magnussen
10. Alex Albon (because why not)

Pole: Charles Leclerc
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton
First retirement: Mick Schumacher (hits someone on the first corner)
ROTR: the championship duo (taking each other out when really they should be flying away this year in the points)
IIDOTR: Valtteri Bottas (he does a Bernoldi and blocks Hamilton from a podium at the least, maybe even a win)
DBTMOTR: Max Verstappen
LP: Nicholas Latifi
HFB: 3 laps


As I say, old points will be counted up soon. In the meantime, good luck with your predictions! :dance:

Surely that wins the alternative title point!
It's just unbelievable...that Formula 1 could be such a ridiculous melange of idiots.

Hello there! Long time since we've caught up with results, but let's start way back in Spain. So the championship leader did dreadfully, while Enforcer and Mario won! This has created a bit of a switcheroo in the championship standings, with most of the frontrunners shuffling around at least a little bit. This is Enforcer's second consecutive win, which is something we haven't seen since RAK won the Italian and Russian GPs last year.

Results
1. Enforcer 18*
- mario 18

3. yannicksamlad 17
- tommykl 17

5. Hermann95 16
- IceG 16
7. Batty 15
- dr-baker 15
9. RAK 14
10. rachel1990 13
- Klon 13
12. Fetzie 12
- pi314159 12
- Bleu 12
15. Rob Dylan 10
- Frogfoot9013 10
17. Aerond 9
*funniest alternative race title


And let's see how it affects the championship.

Championship Standings
1. Aerond 82
2. IceG 79
3. dr-baker 77

4. RAK 77
5. Klon 74
6. Hermann95 71
7. tommykl 69
8. Enforcer 69
9. rachel1990 68
10. mario 67
11. Fetzie 65
12. pi314159 64
13. Bleu 62
14. Rob Dylan 61
15. CarloSpace 61
16. Batty 58
17. yannicksamlad 32
18. Londoner 31
19. Miguel98 22
20. Frogfoot9013 22
21. DigitDan7 20
22. Aislabie 14
23. CaptainGetz12 14
24. Vassago 12
25. mash 7
26. dj_vicious 6


So Aerond keeps the lead, even if it is very reduced. Hermann, Enforcer and Mario are all looking quite strong seeing as they have all missed a race each - remember that after the 18th round we will start dropping scores! I means that this year may be a great deal closer than in years past. See you at the next round everyone :dance:
