Congrats to BT-44 (CB), Carlew (TH), chunterer (TT), Dispenser89 (AS), Roberto.R (LT), [b]sir jackie walker (AS)[b] and vino_93 (NA), our seven magnificent round winners! Mentions to BT-44 (CB), who predicted correct poleman, and to Robbe (TT), who notched correct winner of Sprint race.
After the leader Josef1 there are two runner-ups: chunterer and Roberto.R (LT); at Forums Championship, there were no major changes, except the third place claimed by Los Tuercas. Alas, the distance between first five is very short, so there are chances for many forums to shine this year.
Observations:
- F1wingwins (TH): Put Bianchi twice (2nd and 7th) in his R1 forecasts, so these parts of it weren't valid.
- Jilhou (NA): Put Pic twhice (5th and 7th) in his R1 predictions, so that parts of it weren't valid.
- kamikaze666 (CB): Forgot 8th of R1.
