2019 French Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions

Post by Rob Dylan »

Bonjourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it's the French Grand Prix for 2019, and the eighth Predicament Predictions round of the season! The season is still open in terms of our contestants, and very soon I'm going to start looking up good prizes for our glorious podium. 2019 might be predictable, but at the same time, you have no excuse not to score highly in such a state. Everybody wins! Without further ado...


Here is your blank slate:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Pole:
Fastest lap:
First retirement:
Reject of the Race:
Infinite Improbability of the Race:
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race:
Minor League Premiership:
Number of Safety Cars:

There's always a point for the funniest alternative race title you guys can come up with. The candidates for Minor League Premiership are: Alexander Albon; Antonio Giovinazzi; Lando Norris; George Russell. And you are always welcome to activate double points for one round only.



My predictions as always are of things that are absolutely not going to happen:

1. Max Verstappen
2. Valtteri Bottas
3. Lewis Hamilton (incident with Vettel)
4. Sebastian Vettel
5. Charles Leclerc (even after Mercedes fluff up, Ferrari still fluff up more)
6. Lando Norris
7. Daniel Ricciardo
8. Pierre Gasly
9. Nico Hulkenberg
10. Kevin Magnussen

Pole: Lewis Hamilton
Fastest lap: Valtteri Bottas
First retirement: Carlos Sainz Jr.
ROTR: Pierre Gasly (drama at the front and the homeboy is simply just not driving fast at all)
IIDOTR: Max Verstappen (does a fantastic overtake on a Mercedes and wins)
DBTMOTR: Carlos Sainz Jr.
MLP: Lando Norris
Number of Safety Cars: 1


Good luck everyone, the deadline is the end of FP3 :dance:

In one of the highest scoring rounds I've ever been witness to, we have a winner in mario, who earned a massive 27 out of the possible 41 points in a single round. Correctly guessing the entire top five in order, the 2017 champion has jumped up the standings. Not to say that other participants didn't score highly - just look at those results! Not to take away from others' results; good job everyone. Here are the results:


Results
1. mario 27
2. RAK 24
3. Aguvazk 23
- Fetzie 23

5. CaptainGetz12 22
6. yannicksamlad 21
7. dr-baker 20.67*
8. UncreativeUsername37 20
- Bleu 20
- Gertrand Bachot 20
11. tommykl 19
12. Rob Dylan 18
13. You-Gee-Eee-Day 17
14. ElBerto 15
- Psyclepath 15*
16. FortiWinks 11
- CarloSpace 11
18. dinizintheoven 1**
*got a point for saying Sainz in IIDOTR.
**funniest alternative race title. Good job, keep it up!





So our championship leader dr-baker keeps his lead in the championship, though that lead has diminished somewhat. His closest contender ElBerto had a middling result in comparison, whilst our Predicament Predictions champions of recent years all catch up quickly with the front.

Standings
1. dr-baker 134.17
2. ElBerto 127
3. RAK 122

4. tommykl 115
5. mario 111
6. Gertrand Bachot 110
7. Fetzie 104
8. Rob Dylan 100
9. Aguvazk 97

My goodness you are correct. You said "nein" safety cars twice and "nine" once, so I should have given you 0.67 points for that. I will change the stats accordingly. :badoer:
