The pundits really aren't doing as well as you'd think, are they?

I have double the points of their top pundit, yet I'm a fknut!

I correctly predicted the top three although 2nd and 3rd the wrong way around and predicted that Rosberg wouldn't finish.

Nice.

I had a pretty poor selection - qually, Rosberg and Bottas screwed me up completely!

Moved down to 73 overall. Aim now is to finish the season in the top 100 but I don't think it's likely...

I forgot to change my predictions. I moved up over 1100 places globally and still midway between pundits, two above and two below.

I got 6 out of the top 7 ( had Massa 5th ) and got 165 points. Usually am no where but this was pretty good.

ETA - Just checked on the site and I was the best for the British GP.

Git!

I got pole, fastest lap and top 6 for Spain, and didn't get a bean...

Was happy with that until now!

Oh, recommendation - don't do what I did and figure out the payout on a five quid accumulator...

Thanks sway.

I have been doing the Castrol thing for a few years and have never been close to getting the top 3 - probably won't again.

Did have 3 individual bets on the top 3 but no accumulator sadly.

Well done on the prize win.

I have only just joined the league. Glad to see my poor score is not the worst.

Carinaman - cheers - my 12 year old son has already claimed it!!!!

Nicol@ - the old adage '"you have to be in it to win it" certainly bore fruit for me - good luck.

Ah, so close to another 40 points if Hamilton had got Bottas! Still, not a bad week! Up to 2nd on PH league, and 735 in the Global ranking.

Managed to join the PH league ( don't know how ) thumbup

Sadly they don't back date the results and I'm back to my usual poor points haul.

Still the PS4 turned up today cool

Scored fairly rubbish points, yet somehow managed to gain 25 places so am back in the top 100 globally. It's definitely getting harder to predict the podium plus the approximate order of the midfield...

Looks like everyone scored rubbish points this time! I guess you're Pistonists in the PH league since I'm second and 573 in the global league? I only got 29 points this time, and still moved up 162 places in the global league (stayed in the same place for PH one).
