Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted March 28 Author Subscriber Share Posted March 28 Results - Australian Grand Prix A broad mixture of scores this week, starting off with a 0 for @Whiskey who didn't make any predictions. Qualifying was more or less business as usual, with @MUFC the only person to gamble on someone other than Max Verstappen for pole position. Leclerc sadly blew his last qualifying effort leaving him empty-handed, with everyone else bagging 5 points for the usual VER pole. Also resolved on Saturday was this week's bonus question. Not helped by Ricciardo's deleted lap-time seeing him knocked out in Q1, nobody predicted a gap between him and Piastri of anything like the 1.5 seconds that Piastri had out-stripped his compatriot by come the end of Q3, so 2 consolation points go to @OrangeKhrush who predicted the largest margin of anyone. Onto the race, and wouldn't you know that it took until just the second race after we started predicting "top three without Verstappen" that this ends up being the actual top three in the race. The change in this prediction achieved what we wanted anyway, with a variety of Perez, Norris, Ferrari and Mercedes picks yielding a nice mixture of scores. Nobody predicted Sainz in 1st place, but 2 points each go to @RandoEFC, @Tommy, @Coma and @DeadLinesman for putting him elsewhere in their top three. Everyone predicted a top three finish for Charles Leclerc, with @RandoEFC, @Stan, @Tommy, @nudge, @The Palace Fan and @DeadLinesman all bagging 5 points for putting him in P2, everyone else picking up 2 - the only points of the weekend in @MUFC's case. @Stan, @nudge and @OrangeKhrush all distinguished themselves by rounding off their podium predictions with Lando Norris in 3rd, collecting them another 5 points each. The presence of Perez in everyone's top three prevented anyone from bagging the 20 points for a perfect podium. Finally, this week's random driver was Oscar Piastri at his home race. Nobody was bold enough to predict a finish as high as 4th for him, but @RandoEFC was closest with 6th place here so picks up an extra 2 points. Here's what it does for the standings: Three races in, defending champion @RandoEFC sneaks to the top of the standings with a 1 point lead ahead of previous leader @Tommy. @MUFC's poor weekend and @Whiskey's no-show this weekend see them propping up the standings. In the Constructors', a mediocre week for Mercedes sees them drop from 1st to 4th. Red Bull raked in the highest points tally this week but it's McLaren who sneak into the top spot in a close battle between them, Red Bull and Aston Martin. I'm going away tomorrow so I'll be posting the predictions for next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix this afternoon. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted April 8 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 8 There are four different combinations of Sainz, Leclerc and Perez finishing on the podium out of the six different ways you can organise them but nobody quite nailed the PER-SAI-LEC order.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted April 17 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 17 Results - Japanese Grand Prix It was a close one this week aside from another no-show from @Whiskey - let us know if you want to drop out so I can stop tagging you. Everyone else predicted a Max Verstappen pole position and started the weekend with 5 points. After China, I may well adapt this prediction to become a "without Verstappen" prediction to spice things up further. Onto the race, @Stan, @MUFC, @nudge, @The Palace Fan and @DeadLinesman all secured 9 points in total, for various combinations of Perez, Sainz and Leclerc on the "non-Verstappen" podium, all with one exactly correct and the other two the wrong way around. @OrangeKhrush also chose the correct three drivers but none in the exact spot, meaning he bags 6 points. @RandoEFC and @Coma both score 7 points for getting one driver bang on, one driver in the wrong place, and a McLaren that didn't make the top three, while @Tommy scores 4 for putting both Ferraris in the top three but neither in the right spot, also let down by a McLaren taking his third spot. @The Palace Fan bags an extra 5 points as the only person to nail Pierre Gasly's exact finishing position of 16th, a great differential for him this week that leaves him as the highest scorer on 19 points overall. @OrangeKhrush also keeps 5 points to himself for the bonus question about which driver would outperform their pre-race Championship position by the most places. Ocon's 15th place was an improvement of 3 places on his championship standing. Albon's failure to finish and Hamilton and Norris both out-performing their championship position by just 1 place left everyone else empty-handed here. Here's what it does for the standings: A top-scoring week sees a new change in leader as @The Palace Fan moves into a 3-point lead ahead of @RandoEFC. @Tommy loses ground with his single-figure score with similar scores across the rest of the table limiting any movement this week. McLaren just about cling on to the lead in the Constructors' championship with Aston Martin moving within a single point of the lead. I'll have to consider how to proceed if @Whiskey doesn't want to continue so that @Stan and Ferrari can still have a fair shot at the Constructors' title.
