2022 Monaco Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

Super happy welcome to the blue riband event of Predicament Predictions: it's Monaco baby yeah! At a rather late round 7, we must now see how the low-power circuit separates (or not) the front-running teams from the midfield. There's lots of ways this could go. Get in your predictions by the end of FP3 if you don't want to incur penalties to your score.

Super happy reminder that you can use double points for one race of the season - so if you haven't used yours yet, consider using it!

Here's your 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'm going to be depressing and predict a Monaco win for Russell. It would be good to see him do well, and to get a first win at Monaco would be kind of immense.

1. George Russell
2. Max Verstappen
3. Sergio Perez
4. Charles Leclerc
5. Lewis Hamilton
6. Carlos Sainz Jr.
7. Fernando Alonso
8. Sebastian Vettel
9. Kevin Magnussen
10. Lando Norris

Pole: George Russell
Fastest lap: Max Verstappen
First retirement: Pierre Gasly
ROTR: Lewis Hamilton (whines a lot and spends the whole race bar one lap behind Sainz while his teammate dominates)
IIDOTR: the Alonso/Vettel fight. Both somehow trade positions in an incredible battle that stays clean throughout.
DBTMOTR: Esteban Ocon
LP: Alex Albon (hits the wall and trundles around the whole race)
HFB: 3 laps

Good luck everyone :dance:

And Monaco follows! We are back with RAK taking a strong victory on 20 points. Most of you didn't guess the podium order at all, and that led to a big loss in points all round. You can tell therefore the few who did get it quite right. The results are as follows:
