Predicament Predictions - 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 24 Jul 2012, 06:32

Deadline is the conclusion of FP3 on Saturday and this round sees the introduction of 'The Fall Guy''. It works very much like the DNQ award expect it is for predicting who will join the three new teams (Or if Caterham pull off a miracle, the two people who fail to make the cut) and it's one point for a correct response and two if you get two people right.

Wizzie's Predictions
2012 Hungarian Grand Prix
1. Raikkonen
2. Alonso
3. Webber
4. Hamilton
5. Grosjean
6. Schumacher
7. Perez
8. Vettel
9. Rosberg
10. Kobayashi

Pole: Grosjean
Fastest lap: Perez
First Retirement: Glock
ROTR: Vettel (Gets impatient with Alonso and ends up spinning off the road)
IIDOTR: Raikkonen (Muscles his way into victory from an average grid position)
DBTMOTR: Vettel
Minor League Premiership: Grosjean
The Fall Guy: Vergne
Non-Qualifiers: None

In for a fillér, in for a forint, I'll have a crack at Predicament Predictions this time, if only because I am extremely confident that nobody else would come up with my very Hungarian title for the race.

2012 Hungarian pancakes flavoured with herbs, filled with Fisherman's stew, made from the different fishes of Tisza, served "Hortobagy Style" Grand Prix

1. Alooooooooooonso! Aloooooonso! Aloooooooonso!
2. Hammy Hamster
3. Wibbah!
4. The Finger
5. Best of British ("oooh, matron, that pancake in the picture looks just like...")
6. Rrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmnnnnnn Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjnnnnnnnn
7. Suomi Kimi Perkele
8. Pérezethethethethethethethetheth Chris Waddle
9. Britney Spears (who survives a nasty incident earlier in the race while lapping Massa. Hit him, Felipe baby, one more time...)
10. Some unexpected driver who will grab a point... I know, Jnnnnnnnrrrrrrcccc Vrrrrrrrrrgne, because if Toro Rosso score again this season, it'll make Tony Fernandes cry, and that'll be really funny

Pole: Alooooooooonso! Aloooooooooonso!
Fastest lap: Aloooooooonso! Alooooooooonso! Alooooooooooo-(shut up already, will you?)
First Retirement: BI/ITAJ`IbI I`IETPOB, who crashes out on the first lap in an altercation with Charles Pick. For those who can't read what I wrote, ask Solarcold.
ROTR: The Finger, for whining over the team radio that Wibbah! won't get out the way, roll out the red carpet and give him a podium
IIDOTR: Wibbah!, for having Sir Smug Git on the radio three times telling him to move over and he says "no way, ya flaming gollah!" and takes the podium anyway
DBTMOTR: Fernando is faster than him, and he ends up in 15th place, lapped. Twice. Do I need to mention the name?
Minor League Premiership: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
The Fall Guy: Jjnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrrrrrrcccccccc Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgne, seeing as he still has yet to work out what this qualifying lark is all about
Non-Qualifiers: none, not even the Cucumber, but even if he was 10 seconds off the pace they'd still let him start...

I suppose I'll use the double points, if you're still doing that, though I fully expect the actual DNQ to be the standard of my predictions (though these are not all joke names this time). I have no idea how the points are awarded anyway. I'll be interested to see how well this works... or doesn't.
