Results - Austrian Grand Prix

No points for @Whiskey who didn't predict.

The first points of the weekend were given out in Qualifying on Saturday, where the vast majority - everyone except for @Coma - went with the meta "Norris" pick for non-Verstappen pole and were duly rewarded with 5 points each.

Things didn't quite go to plan for Norris on the Sunday. With everyone picking him as the non-Verstappen winner, a race-ending collision means that everyone ends up pointless for this prediction. There were still a reasonable number of points given out for the unusual Russell-Piastri-Sainz podium. @OrangeKhrush can consider himself unlucky having been the only person to put Russell 2nd on his podium, but he has to settle for 2 points along with @MUFC and @nudge for having the eventual race winner in their top three. @RandoEFC, @Stan, @MUFC and @Tommy all bag 5 points for Oscar Piastri's second place, while @The Palace Fan and @Coma picked up 2 consolation points having picked him for 3rd place. @DeadLinesman was the only person to put Carlos Sainz in his top three at all, and he nailed the position to boot, picking up 5 points to make up for Norris and Hamilton letting him down.

Onto the random driver of the weekend, Carlos Sainz, and an exhibition in hedging your bets sees @Stan as the only one to score here, correctly predicting Sainz' 3rd place despite not placing him on his non-Verstappen podium earlier on.

Finally, almost everyone successfully picked a driver who finished higher on Sunday than they did in the Sprint Race. @RandoEFC, @Stan and @DeadLinesman all counted their lucky stars when the Verstappen-Norris incident promoted Sergio Perez to 7th as he was on track to only match his 8th place from the Sprint. Both Mercedes drivers were on track to improve their results without the help of Norris' relegation, rewarding @nudge and @OrangeKhrush, who backed Hamilton, and @The Palace Fan and @Coma, who backed George Russell, with 5 points each. @Tommy's pick was Daniel Ricciardo whose point-scoring drive in 9th on Sunday eclipsed his 14th place in the Sprint. Only @MUFC was left empty-handed here, with a strong 10th place for Lance Stroll in Saturday's Sprint proving too high of a bar to improve upon in the Grand Prix.

Here's what it does to the standings:

Screenshot2024-07-01at10_52_57.thumb.png.a7190ce146fcc3127692342d3336d2ea.png

Top scorer for the weekend, @Stan, goes from 4th to joint 1st, as he, @OrangeKhrush and @RandoEFC are drawn into a three-way tie heading into the middle race of the season next weekend. @Tommy remains in hot pursuit. @The Palace Fan, @nudge and @DeadLinesman have their own private battle going on in the midfield, all covered by only 3 points. @MUFC overtook @Coma this weekend in their battle for 8th.

McLaren were this weekend's top scorers in the Constructors' table, and return to the top of the table. Aston Martin also fall behind Red Bull having led going into the weekend, while Mercedes can't be ruled out either. Ferrari bag a solid haul of points this week thanks to @Stan's top-score and 6 insurance points for his missing team-mate.

Good work.

PS fuck you Lance.

Aston Martin are nowhere and almost crying out for Adrian Newey.   At this point they can use the rest of the season to test for next years car, they will finish 6th or 7th this year.  

Lance stroll seems to like the car being rubbish

Always thought the most difficult question was predicting where Stroll would finiish.

Now Perez has taken that slot.

Results - British Grand Prix

Screenshot2024-07-09at15_24_47.thumb.png.c62e750b64e9065ae7d51d9b94d2385d.png

Everybody cancelled each other out in qualifying this weekend, as everyone who predicted went for the increasingly meta pick of Lando Norris to take non-Verstappen pole position, only for the two Mercedes drivers to lock out the front row. No points awarded.

Likewise, everyone put Norris on the top step of their podium, scoring them 2 points apiece. The somewhat surprise HAM-NOR-PIA podium saw big points thin on the ground, with only @Stan, @Tommy and @Coma nailing anyone's position exactly, in this case Oscar Piastri in 3rd place, leaving them with 7 overall for their podium picks. @RandoEFC and @MUFC had all three of the right drivers on the podium, but in the wrong places, leaving them with 6 points. @nudge, @The Palace Fan, @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush all managed to bag 4 points with Norris plus one other driver in the top three but in the wrong place.

@Stan, @MUFC and @nudge all hit the bullseye with this week's random driver, Zhou Guanyu, who was 18th and last out of the classified drivers. The vast majority of people correctly backed Piastri to end the weekend on top in the mini-battle between him, Russell and Perez in the Drivers' standings, apart from @Tommy and @nudge who looked in great shape for this prediction but George Russell started on pole, but it wasn't meant to be for him at his home Grand Prix.

Here's what it does for the standings:

Screenshot2024-07-09at15_26_18.thumb.png.33e3f48665d68cd28823f0aec51c7a5c.png

The random driver and bonus predictions made the difference to @Stan this weekend, who ended up as this week's top scorer and the new clear leader of the championship thanks to these 10 points. @Tommy is the big loser this weekend out of the four primary title contenders. Those battling in the midfield cancelled each other out with a string of 9 point scores. An improved run of form has seen @MUFC work his way back into this battle instead of being cut adrift at the bottom with @Coma, who also isn't far behind the midfield pack.

@The Palace Fan and @MUFC take bragging rights as Mercedes have the top score in the Constructors' table this weekend. The top four teams are all covered by 12 points. @Stan deserves credit for leading Ferrari to the 2nd-highest score this weekend in light of his team-mate's absence. 

We are exactly halfway through the season, and it's all to play for in both championships.

Hungarian predictions will be posted tomorrow morning.
