Moderator Tommy Posted March 26, 2018 Moderator Posted March 26, 2018 Pleased with my points, but looks bad compared to our 4chan troll of course. Apparently I'm 4th overall in Germany

Predicted Vettel, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Verstappen and Hulkenberg in the top 10. Yet have only been given 10 bonus points for correctly predicting the winner of the race. 1 hour ago, nudge said: That's six of the top 10 drivers in correct position. 1 hour ago, Stan said: they should clarify that! 1 hour ago, nudge said: Well it does say "correctly predicting six of the top 10 drivers in position"

The race started well for most of our drivers and when I say ''most'' I'm obviously excluding @Batard and @DeadLinesman.

He tried it in the early hours of the morning but the current bun bounced off his shiny, bald head blinding Bernie Ecclestone and causing a major fracas. Anyway, onto the track it was a poor start for @bozziovai, a great bit of pace out of the traps but coming into the final sector poor old Bozzi remembered that he'd left his Chicken Tikka Masala in the oven... or did he? Well, the momentary lapse in concentration cost him as he slammed into the wall and brought out the Safety Car. Next, it was a coming together between @nudge and @The Palace Fan. The latter blasted past nudge at great speed before backing off and pulling alongside. No matter what nudge did, The Palace Fan just wouldn't budge driving alongside and shouting what sounded like profanity out of the car. As it turns out, he was just demanding nudes and wouldn't take no for an answer. Unfortunately, nudge was only too happy to oblige but as she unzipped her race-suit to show our good man a glimpse at the crown jewels the pair collided and slid into the gravel, yet another DNF. @RandoEFC and Cannabis come over next, they probably could have put in a better shift in truth but spent the final 10 laps moaning about Sam Allardyce and about how much Sammy Lee is a Rednosed gobshite. Had they concentrated on the race, they could well have come higher up the pecking order. @Toinho is next, one step from the podium in his home race which isn't bad at all. Rumour has it that there was some cheating going on with his curly hair actually being disposable nitrous oxide but we'll never know. For now, he sits with a respectable score of 44 (@Tommy's favourite number). Anyway, onto the podium. @Stan used his IT help-desk skills to program into the car on a level above the others, leading for the full race before getting a text message from Brian, reading it and swerving off into the grass. Luckily, he managed to re-join the chasing pack and come home in a respectable 3rd, one place behind Tommy who crossed the line in 1st but started to celebrate a lap too early. Too keen to do the ''Vettel finger'' Tommy finds himself sparing his blushes as he thinks what could have been. On the top of the pile is @BartraPique1932 with a stunning score of 175 - congratulations ! Excellent read, mate!

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 26, 2018 Subscriber Posted March 26, 2018 Pretty disappointed with that yeah. Gambled on leaving Bottas out of the top ten.

Moderator Tommy Posted April 4, 2018 Moderator Posted April 4, 2018 I put a rough prediction up, in case I completely forget about it. Will alter it after free practice though.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 4, 2018 Subscriber Posted April 4, 2018 Done mine. Predicting F1 is hard work though, especially specific finishing positions for the top ten. We should see how this goes then maybe next season try something different like predict the following: - Race Winner (5 points) - Podium Finishers (3 points) - Fastest Qualifier (3 points) - Fastest Race Lap (3 points) - First Retirement (5 points) - Most Positions Gained (3 points) Plus a few versus predictions that could change for each race e.g. Vettel vs Hamilton, Gasly vs Leclerc, who finishes higher (1 point for each one). The F1 podcast I listen to also has a "random driver" feature in their prediction league where a random driver is chosen and you have to say where they'll finish (10 points for exactly correct, 5 points for being one away etc), works out nicely when there are 20 races and 20 drivers. And yes, I know that when someone brought up the idea of an F1 Prediction League I was the one who suggested we used an existing website and am now contradicting myself .
Toinho Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Done. Hoping I can get lucky like last time! When is this? Sunday?
nudge Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Middle of the night in Australia though, haha - so technically Monday

Yes it was, sadly it's how it is these days, though Bahrain should be better as the circuit is a bit more overtake-friendly... Do yourself a favour and watch MotoGP instead, haha.

Moderator Tommy Posted April 7, 2018 Moderator Posted April 7, 2018 My predictions are a bit crazy, but it could happen, perkele.

Administrator Batard Posted April 7, 2018 Administrator Posted April 7, 2018 Just tried but it says predictions are closed

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 7, 2018 Subscriber Posted April 7, 2018 Backed Kimi for pole, so close 🙈. Thought Hamilton was a smart pick for most positions gained but now Verstappen is probably most likely to get that.
