@Tommy and @Whiskey took the sensible option, with Bottas sitting in 21st in the championship prior to the race, simply making it to the chequered flag was enough for him to clear the bar.

Results - Italian Grand Prix

Screenshot2024-09-10at09_49_11.thumb.png.31f787f5219599b938fdb5aea36fc66d.png

Finally getting up to date here.

Qualifying was the most successful session of the weekend across the board, with everyone apart from championship leader @Stan bagging 5 points for another Lando Norris pole position.

Nobody predicted a victory for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari. @Tommy was closest to doing so but has to settle for 2 points for putting Leclerc in 2nd place. @RandoEFC, @Whiskey and @OrangeKhrush also bag 2 points for having Leclerc on the last step of their podium. Surprisingly, only one person was able to nail any podium positions this weekend and that was @MUFC who put Piastri in 2nd place. It's 5 points for him, and 2 points for @Stan, @nudge, @Dave and @Coma who missed his finishing position by one. Everyone picked up 2 points for Norris finishing 3rd, having either predicted a 1st or 2nd place for the British driver.

Most people backed this week's random driver Alex Albon to do better than usual at Monza, but nobody quite nailed his finishing position of 9th. @RandoEFC, @Tommy and @Dave were one position short and would have taken the full 5 points if not for Kevin Magnussen's time penalty, but have to settle for the 2 consolation points. @Tommy is the big winner from the bonus question though, as he was the only person to back Albon to win Formula B this weekend. He therefore gets to hog 5 extra points to himself and finishes the weekend as the comfortable highest scorer.

The lead changes hands in both championships this weekend. @Stan's joint worst score of the season sees him lose top spot to defending champion @RandoEFC, while top scorer for the week @Tommy bears down on both of them. A lukewarm run of results has seen @OrangeKhrush slip into the chasing pack, with in-form @MUFC and consistent @nudge yet to be ruled out of a late charge for the championship. @Dave also overtakes @DeadLinesman in the midfield.

Red Bull were this weekend's top scorers leading to yet another change in the lead of the Constructors' standings. Mercedes also made ground on previous leaders McLaren. Aston Martin remain just about in contention with Ferrari running out of races to make up the distance to their rivals.

Azerbaijan predictions will be up tomorrow.

Something I've noticed since McLaren started picking up earlier this season. Nobody for a while now is showing their true hand till qualifying. Is making this season one of the most difficult to predict.

I'd drank a lot of Czech beer when I posted this. 

Staropramen? On a side note, isn't it about time the Czechs had an F1 driver?

Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus and Breznak! I do like Staropramen but these others are much easier to drink. And so cheap!

Results - Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Screenshot2024-09-18at09_43_59.thumb.png.c317e37556bb576f0d0e2db03fd13452.png

We had our first no-shows for a while this week with @Whiskey and @Coma making no predictions. At least from their points of view, this weekend was one of the lowest scoring ones we've seen so they didn't lose as much ground as usual.

Qualifying first, and only two of the eight that predicted correctly went for Charles Leclerc to bag his fourth consecutive pole position in Baku, with the rest of the field plumping for Lando Norris. 5 points each to @RandoEFC and @DeadLinesman. Also resolved on Saturday was the bonus question, where @OrangeKhrush was the only person to correctly pick Esteban Ocon as the lowest qualifier (outside of the two Saubers). 5 points to him as well.

Race day didn't see anyone score more than dribs and drabs really. Nobody put Oscar Piastri down for victory, although 2 points each go to @Stan, @MUFC, @Tommy, @nudge and @Dave who all included him among their top three. @Dave was the only one to pick up 5 points at all for a podium finisher, correctly calling P2 for Charles Leclerc for 5 points. @RandoEFC, @Tommy, @DeadLinesman and @OrangeKhrush take home 2 each for putting him elsewhere in their top three. The dramatic late crash that saw Perez and Sainz taken out of the race saw @RandoEFC pick up an extra 2 points in fortuitous circumstances. The Mercedes 1-2 couldn't have been a worse shout but Russell's podium sees him pick up 2 consolation points.

Finally, Franco Colapinto was this week's random driver, and his 8th place confounded everyone's expectations. 2 points here go to @nudge, whose heady prediction of 14th is as close as anyone got to doing Colapinto justice.

Here's how the standings look:

Screenshot2024-09-18at09_43_47.thumb.png.2813e4f8860dc771cc9abf487704d152.png

With nobody breaching double figures this week, steady progress is made by @RandoEFC, whose 9 points was the highest of the weekend and sees him extend his championship lead to 9 points. There isn't much change in the rest of the table with plenty of close battles going on between 1st and 8th.

McLaren's 16 points is a pitiful return but still comfortably the best of anyone this weekend, seeing them back to the top of the ever-changing Constructors' table. Aston Martin and Ferrari were given an extra 2 points each as a part of the missing driver "insurance policy". The top three teams are still separated by only 12 points and any could come out of the next weekend in front.

Don't forget we have the season-long predictions to come as well! I've started looking at which of these can be "paid out" and I may try to do a preview on how things look before the end of the year.
