Results - Hungarian Grand Prix

Double update incoming.

Screenshot2024-07-31at10_17_42.thumb.png.a2b1043a734e7fe778bd32f659ad027d.png

Qualifying in Hungary saw everyone pick up 5 points for Lando Norris' pole position, with the exception of @Coma, who didn't predict this weekend, and @OrangeKhrush, who gambled on George Russell, only for the Mercedes driver to be eliminated in Q1.

Race day saw a clean sweep of predictions for Lando Norris to win (with Verstappen excluded). Everyone therefore picks up 2 points for his 2nd place. Nobody predicted a victory for Oscar Piastri, but @MUFC, @Tommy and @Whiskey pick up 2 points each for putting him in their top three. @Stan, @nudge and @DeadLinesman were the only ones to hit any 5 pointer here, putting Hamilton correctly in 3rd place. @OrangeKhrush also grabs a couple of extra points for placing Hamilton in his top three but in the wrong position.

Onto the random driver, Fernando Alonso, and the 5 points here go to @nudge, @Whiskey and @DeadLinesman who nailed his finishing position of 11th.

It wasn't the best bonus question I've ever come up with this week. Most people plumped for Sainz to beat Leclerc of the options available, with @Whiskey going a different way with Kevin Magnussen. Neither of these drivers beat their team-mates in the race so no points were awarded here.

Here's how the standings looked after Hungary:

Screenshot2024-07-31at10_19_36.thumb.png.11ae642d097d3d74e85724813c229682.png

@Stan extends his lead at the top as the only one of the front-runners to hit double figures this weekend. His 11 point gap over @RandoEFC is the largest we've seen this season. @OrangeKhrush loses more ground after his worst weekend of the season and is now joint 3rd with @Tommy. @nudge and @DeadLinesman were the joint top scorers this weekend and now have some of the previous front runners in their sights. @The Palace Fan loses two places in the standings while @Whiskey matches his best score of the season.

Mclaren and Red Bull continue to pull away in the Constructors' standings as both teams his the mid-twenties again. Aston Martin score just 7 points this weekend, 3 of those coming as insurance after @Coma didn't predict. Ferrari deserve credit this weekend for being the joint-highest scorers and still have a realistic chance of finishing off the bottom of the table.

Results - Belgian Grand Prix

Screenshot2024-07-31at10_32_46.thumb.png.49a5b5c0436920b88ba454ac0c2df318.png

A complete flop for Lando Norris this weekend means it's a low-scoring one as everyone predicted a pole and win double for the McLaren driver only for him to get nowhere near the podium. We'll be addressing this after the summer break.

After Russell's disqualification left a Hamilton-Piastri-Leclerc podium, @RandoEFC, @nudge, @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush all picked up 2 points for putting Lewis Hamilton in their top three. @Stan, @MUFC, @Tommy, @nudge, @Whiskey, @The Palace Fan and @Coma all pick up 5 points for putting Piastri in 2nd place, with @RandoEFC and @OrangeKhrush taking 2 consolation points for missing by one position. @Coma makes the prediction of the week as the only person to put Charles Leclerc in their top three at all, and he gets the exact position for the full 5 points as well.

Lance Stroll was this week's random driver, and @RandoEFC and @Coma are the ones to nail it and pick up 5 points each this time.

Another prediction affected by George Russell's disqualification post-race was the number of positions Max Verstappen would make up in the Grand Prix. As the Dutchman started 11th and crossed the line in 5th, these 5 points would have gone to @Tommy and @The Palace Fan, but instead go to @Stan, @MUFC, @nudge and @OrangeKhrush after the championship leader was promoted to 4th.

This is how the standings look heading into the summer break then:

Screenshot2024-07-31at10_34_14.thumb.png.3ba4a14f8a5f1c03a11a5726fb06ee9b.png

With the top three largely cancelling each other out this weekend, @Stan extends his lead by a further point and heads into the summer break with a 12-point buffer over @RandoEFC. Back to back strong weekends from @nudge mean she is just 5 points away from challenging for the top three positions. @MUFC goes level with @DeadLinesman for 6th/7th place while @Coma undoes some of the damage of missing Hungary with this weekend's top score.

In the Constructors' standings, Aston Martin were comfortably this week's highest scorers thanks to @Coma's 15 point haul, and this brings them back into contention for the title. We also have a change of lead, as McLaren's poor week was exploited by Red Bull, putting @Tommy and @nudge back ahead by a single point. Ferrari remain in touch with the rest of the pack.

When we get back from the summer break, I will be removing the "without Verstappen" part of the predictions as I think we can all agree the form of Verstappen and Red Bull no longer make it a boring case of going VER for pole and VER-??-?? for the podium. In fact, excluding Verstappen at this point has made it more boring as we can all see people going for Norris for pole and the win almost across the board. Hopefully this simplifies things for the last 10 races. I've been considering this on a weekly basis but think the case for undoing this change is very strong at this point and the summer break seems like a natural time to do so.

Good work.

PS, Stans car needs random post race checks.

Predictions - Dutch Grand Prix

Just to warn you guys, I'm going away tomorrow which is why I'm getting these up early. I don't get back until the Friday of the Italian Grand Prix so I will be able to get predictions up for Monza, but I won't be able to type up results for Zandvoort until after Italy, so there'll be another double update after I get back.

@RandoEFC @Stan @MUFC @Tommy @nudge @Whiskey @The Palace Fan @Coma @DeadLinesman @OrangeKhrush

Note that the predictions are no longer *without Verstappen*. We're going back to normal as I explained at the start of the summer break.
