So it was an interesting result to say the least at Baku! We had a double Ferrari retirement, and that set a lot of predictions off-kilter, especially for all of you who were mistakenly thinking Ferrari would bounce back! Therefore quite varied on the front of the top three, and very few of the extra points got handed out - no ROTR/IIDOTR points for anyone for example. And in the end, we had one winner and five runners-up!

*funniest alternative race title

Mario becomes just the latest repeat winner in 2022! With five runners-up and a very high median, it means that championship doesn't change dramatically at all. However, it does leave us with a tie at the very front:

1. Aerond 112
2. RAK 112
3. dr-baker 104

4. IceG 103
5. tommykl 99
6. Enforcer 98

8. Klon 94

23. Freeze-O-Kimi 15
24. Aislabie 14
25. CaptainGetz12 14
26. Vassago 12
27. mash 7

That's right - Aerond keeps his championship lead on countback, but damn is it close. RAK and he are leading a little extra gap at this point in front of the rest of the field, but may I remind you that almost none of you have used double points, and when we hit Round 19 we are going to start seeing those scores get much, much closer...

See you in Canada! :dance:
