Results - Canadian Grand Prix

615096679_ScreenShot2023-06-19at09_03_55.thumb.jpg.0c3ab79afe42a4848a7e85107d9d79ee.jpg

Starting with Saturday, the mixed conditions didn't throw up a surprise for pole position, with everyone who predicted with the exception of @JoshBRFC bagging 5 points straight away for another Verstappen pole.

The bonus question was also resolved in qualifying. Despite Carlos Sainz' grid penalty meaning that he started behind Leclerc, @Tommy, @nudge and @DeadLinesman don't get the points here as qualifying predictions are based on times set in the session and not on the final grid order. @RandoEFC, @Stan, @JoshBRFC, @The Palace Fan, @Coma and @OrangeKhrush all pick up 5 points for backing Hamilton to out-qualify his team-mate Russell, with @MUFC making the opposite prediction and coming out empty-handed. @Whiskey was the only one to venture outside of Mercedes and Ferrari for this prediction and correctly backed Bottas to qualify higher out of the Alfa Romeo cars.

Onto the race, and probably the most varied set of podium predictions we've seen this season (after 1st place). Again, everyone apart from @JoshBRFC picks up 5 points for the Verstappen victory. @RandoEFC and @Coma bag 20 points overall for predicting a perfect VER-ALO-HAM podium in the correct order. @Whiskey and @OrangeKhrush are unlucky to end up on 9 points having inverted 2nd and 3rd place but picked the correct combination. @JoshBRFC was the only other person to predict Alonso and Hamilton on the podium and picks up 7 points in total. @DeadLinesman also gets 7 with @Stan, @Tommy, @nudge and @The Palace Fan taking 10 for VER-XXX-HAM. @MUFC brings up the rear in the podium predictions as the only person to pick two drivers (Russell and Perez) who didn't make the rostrum.

Finally, this week's random driver Carlos Sainz was backed to finish within 2 places of his actual finishing position by everyone, but the points go to @Stan, @MUFC, @Tommy, @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush for putting him down for 5th place.

Here's what it does to the standings:

515769913_ScreenShot2023-06-19at09_03_39.thumb.jpg.7ad3516838554a9efa870f7673a557cf.jpg

@Coma and @RandoEFC are the first to breach the 30 point barrier at a race this season, and now sit first and second in the Drivers' Championship. The gaps are beginning to stretch to the biggest we've seen all season but @Stan and @OrangeKhrush remain in hot pursuit. With similar scores covering @Whiskey in 5th to @The Palace Fan in 10th there aren't many changes in the standings overall.

None of the Constructors' have shifted position this week but Mercedes consolidate their lead at the top with the highest score of the weekend. Alpine's impressive points haul sees them gain some ground on Ferrari and Aston Martin in the battle for 2nd place with McLaren and Red Bull are quite far adrift.

Results - Austrian Grand Prix

No points this week for @nudge, @JoshBRFC or @Eco who didn't submit predictions on time. The rest scored as follows:

1988093367_ScreenShot2023-07-03at12_45_57.thumb.png.63fcffd7e7d2653af0877a91e763036a.png

Everyone who predicted picked up the customary 10 points for Max Verstappen's pole position and race win, but increasing variety in the positions behind have increasingly shown some variation in our other picks and resulting scores. @MUFC, @Tommy and @The Palace Fan all predicted a return to form for Sergio Perez and a Red Bull 1-2, picking up 2 more points than others for at least correctly predicting a podium finish. @RandoEFC was the only one to sneak in after FP1 and change his prediction to put a Ferrari on the podium, but got Leclerc and Perez the wrong way around, leaving @Stan as the top scorer for the podium picks with Perez' 3rd place bagging him 5 full points.

Another eventful race for this week's random driver, Nyck De Vries, eventually saw him classified in 17th place, with @Tommy and @OrangeKhrush bagging 5 points each for getting this exactly correct.

This week's bonus question was to pick a driver who would improve their championship position this weekend. Pointless weekends for Piastri and Magnussen left @RandoEFC and @MUFC empty-handed here, while @Coma's gamble on "nobody" didn't come off. Ocon required a large points haul to move higher than 9th so @OrangeKhrush was out of luck, while @Stan, @Whiskey, @The Palace Fan and @DeadLinesman all went for George Russell, who actually lost a place in the standings to Charles Leclerc in a difficult weekend for Mercedes. Hats off, then, to @Tommy, who foresaw a large points haul for Lando Norris in the upgraded McLaren, enough for him to overtake Pierre Gasly in the standings and bag @Tommy another 5 points and a comfortable top score for the week of 22.

Here's what it does to the standings:

1014328792_ScreenShot2023-07-03at12_45_40.thumb.png.c1f4661bb0404b02df9db5ba772c015e.png

Not the best week for the leading pair but @RandoEFC takes the lead in the individual championship by a single point. Both he and @Coma lose ground to @Stan and @OrangeKhrush while @Tommy's high-scoring week propels him back from the midfield to within 10 points of the leaders. A first no-show of the season from @nudge sees her lose two places in the standings.

In the Constructors' table, Ferrari's one-man effort sees them lose 2nd place to Aston Martin, whose impressive score this weekend compared to an average weekend for Mercedes sees them more than half their deficit to the top of the table. A solid week for Alpine sees them move just one point behind Ferrari. McLaren and Red Bull, both also playing with one hand tied behind their back this weekend, are well out of it and look to be in a scrap over the bottom two positions.
