Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 25, 2022 Author Subscriber Posted July 25, 2022 Results - French Grand Prix Qualifying on Saturday saw the usual majority pick of Charles Leclerc instead of Max Verstappen pay off for @RandoEFC, @Stan, @nudge, @MUFC, @DeadLinesman and @Whiskey, granting them 5 points each ahead of race day. @Coma and @OrangeKhrush went for a pole/win double for Max Verstappen, meaning that they bagged 5 points for the Dutch driver's second consecutive French Grand Prix victory alongside @RandoEFC, @MUFC, @DeadLinesman and @Whiskey who all secured 10 points for the Leclerc pole/Max win combo. @Tommy, @Stan and @nudge kept the faith with the Monegasque to take the race win, but still scored 2 consolation points for having race-winner Verstappen to finish in 2nd. Nobody predicted that either Mercedes driver, let alone both, would finish in the top three, meaning that everyone scored either 2 or 5 points for this section of predictions, rendering all picks of Leclerc, Sainz or Perez as useless as @Whiskey's Gasly gamble. Speaking of Pierre Gasly, the random driver had a poor home race, coming home in 12th. No less than five competitors were one place away from bagging another 5 points with a prediction of 11th place, but @OrangeKhrush was more pessimistic about Pierre's chances than anyone else, and it paid dividends as he called his 12th placed finish exactly correct. Finally, @RandoEFC and @DeadLinesman picked up a vital 5 extra points compared to their competitors in the title race by being the only two to correctly predict that neither Haas car would finish in the points despite their recent good form, with everyone else predicting that they'd at least get one car in the top ten. With the joint highest score of the week, @DeadLinesman extends his lead at the top of the standings but @RandoEFC covered him off this weekend and remains 4 points behind. A shocking 2-point haul for @Tommy sees him drop from 2nd to 4th and lose serious ground on the leader. @Whiskey "nudges" back ahead of @nudge in the midfield battle while @OrangeKhrush gets his nose back in front of @Stan in a competitive battle to get off the bottom of the table. @Coma gets dragged back in slightly having been out-scored by both of the people behind him this weekend. Hungarian Grand Prix prédictions will be up in the next couple of days.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 31, 2022 Author Subscriber Posted July 31, 2022 Results - Hungarian Grand Prix Saturday saw failure across the board as everyone failed to predict a maiden pole position for George Russell in qualifying, but the rest of the weekend's results were a lot more polarising than that. Just like the French Grand Prix, the majority of players predicted a podium composed of Verstappen, Leclerc and either Perez or Sainz, meaning that the podium points were slim pickings again thanks to a double Mercedes podium. Everyone scored at least 2 points for putting Verstappen on the podium, the only points of the weekend for @RandoEFC and @MUFC, with @Tommy, @Coma, @OrangeKhrush and @Whiskey taking home all five for putting the Dutchman on the top step of the podium. @Whiskey was the only one to put some silver in his podium picks, accurately predicting a Ferrari-free podium and a top three finish for Lewis Hamilton, granting him an extra two points over the rest of the field. There was very little variation in this week's random driver prediction, with everyone putting Fernando Alonso down for a 7th, 8th or 9th placed finish. These predictions were vindicated as the Spaniard came home in 8th place, delivering a full five points for @Tommy, @Coma, @nudge, @DeadLinesman and @Whiskey. The rest can count themselves unfortunate to come away with nothing here despite all missing out by a single position. Alpine delivered the goods for several players again in the bonus question. Although it looked at one stage as though @RandoEFC and @Whiskey had backed the right horse in Daniel Ricciardo, his incident with Stroll and resulting penalty cost him several positions and allowed Esteban Ocon to finish the highest out of the named drivers in 9th place. Five points each to @Tommy, @Stan, @nudge and @DeadLinesman for calling this one correctly. This is what the weekend has done for the overall standings: @DeadLinesman enjoys his biggest lead in many weeks with another solid double-figured scoreline and his two closest rivals @RandoEFC and @MUFC posting the joint-lowest score of the week. @Tommy's 15 point haul is the highest in Hungary and restores him to 2nd place going into the summer break. @Whiskey and @nudge were among the best performers this weekend but cancel each other out in the battle for 5th. @Coma becomes the latest to join the "hundred club" in terms of overall points and creeps away slightly from the bottom two, who swap places once again as @Stan moves a single point ahead of @OrangeKhrush. Enjoy the summer break if you can, everyone!
