2022 Belgian Grand Prix - Predicament Predictions!

Post by Rob Dylan »

It was oh so brief a summer, but F1 truly never sleeps. There are only 48 races still remaining this season between now and Christmas, so without further ado let's get back to predicting! In just a few rounds we will be approaching dropped score territory, and that's when things get really exciting!

Please don't forget about your option to use double points. We've been very light so far this year on using those double points, so don't hesitate to get some good results on the board. As always, the rules are on the Bahrain thread, and the cut-off point is the end of FP3 if you don't want to incur any penalties to your score. The blank slate is below:


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

Pole:
Fastest lap:
First retirement:
Reject of the Race:
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race:
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race:
Last Place:
How Far Back:



I'm trying to think what an appropriate return to F1 would be. I imagine a Verstappen win with a Mercedes intra-team collision.

1. Max Verstappen
2. Charles Leclerc
3. Sergio Perez
4. Lando Norris
5. Fernando Alonso
6. Carlos Sainz Jr. (because of course Ferrari screwed up)
7. George Russell
8. Kevin Magnussen
9. Valtteri Bottas
10. Yuki Tsunoda

Pole: Max Verstappen
Fastest lap: Sergio Perez
First retirement: Alex Albon
Reject of the Race: George Russell (smashes his teammate out of the race)
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race: Lando Norris
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race: Daniel Ricciardo (finishes last)
Last Place: Daniel Ricciardo
How Far Back: 1 lap

Good luck everyone :dance:

The Belgian Grand Prix was dominated by Mario, who takes his second win in a row to get ever closer to what looks like a very spirited championship win come season end. I'm only jinxing it now so that we'll have at the very least an exciting end to it all!
