That makes two of us. With the way the race went, maybe this round will just be a crap shoot for everyone though. I don't think anyone expected a Racing Point car in the top 10, and I know I thought Haas would be stronger as well.Quote:

Mr Swiss beat us all for pole prediction, with an overall ranking of 25th. None of us predicted Bottas for pole!
And Mr Swiss is still in the overall lead. Though it's hard to believe, I was the only forum member to make up overall positions this race. It's much easier to move up when you totally suck in the first race!

I'm not sure if anyone is going to keep track of the interforum thing again. The only names I see marked with a forum are few, so I think that isn't all up and rolling this year, or at least not as many people entered. My theory is that the other forums head that we were actually organizing this year, and they all ran in fear. :)
Me tooQuote:

Taz whooped us all, but we are slipping from previous race higher scores. Mr Swiss ranked 8th in qually, and the next best anyone here could muster was COD in 35th.

Four races in and really the points spread isn't all that wide.
Sorry, my slide down the order is pathetic. I try to improve, but no guarantees there
I've found that the only bonus in losing a lot of positions it that sooner or later I get lucky and move back up some. So really at times there is an advantage to being on the bottom!Quote:

I'm guessing a Merc 1-2, but Max and Gasly might get in the mix. I'm also hopeful that Leclerc can get a podium and beat Seb, but I really think Ferrari might end up more like 4th-5th this race.
Monaco is always tricky, because the deadline is one day earlier.
But, i did get my picks in.
Hope everyone else is in as well.
No results up yet on the ZDKF1 page. But if Mr Swiss was the only one to get a prediction in, it's safe to say he's going to beat us all!
Hold on a moment .Quote:

I got mine in as well. Results now there. I keep getting worse and worse as the season progresses. So lucky guesses in the beginning I think. I try to improve...

The site uses some system to select for races you miss. I'm not sure how it works, but we should keep that in mind for the overall standings. I'd imagine if you get lucky, you could score good points on races you didn't make picks for. And looking at scores, yep.... it happens. The first person with no prediction was only one place behind Mr Swiss. If we all don't miss many races, I say we just subtract the points in the total at the end of the year. I don't want my amazing comeback to the top questioned due to *free* points. :laugh:

If I got it right, it uses previous race predictions if you don’t make a new one. Having Mercedes 1-2 in the first and leaving it at that would have scored good points on all rounds :)Quote:

After failing to get my Monaco picks made in time, I made picks for Canada the day I posted the Monaco picks. I usually suck at pickems enough already, so I don't need the further handicap of missing races!
My downslide continues. Worse and worse predictions as the season progresses. Well, some points still. Made a prediction allready for France, just in case

Bagwan gets another win, though overall as a forum we slipped some. None of us picked Seb for pole, but COD had the closest pole time guess at only .029 off actual pole.
Overall, we all slipped except for COD, who managed to break even and stay in position

Everyone got picks in for Canada, so no adjustments this race. So really with the Monaco adjustment for my picks not being made, I have to make up 30 points to avoid being last. :laugh: Considering there are only 30 points bridging all the rest of you that picked every race, maybe I need a secret plan. I think that will be pure luck, and the hopes that you are make your picks after gross alcohol consumption or something.
Everyone make sure to get their France picks in!
Did you say I won .......again ?
Perfectly inconsistent .
I win or I lose .
But , hey , it was Canada , so I'll take it .
Just occurred to me that we must be known in the league as a bunch of "mf-ers" .
You're the king of Canada Baggie! :champion: :dork: :sailor:

And good catch on the mf thing.... were we punked into identifying as a bunch of mf-ers? :)
