I stayed 6th ( looks like they have backdated the results - thankfully ).

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).
Yep, 28 points this round.

Would love to stay top 100, but it's looking less and less likely. I did well backing Ricciardo and Bottas early in the season but this stage of the season reliability and crashes are ruining the status quo!

Yay, 1 point nearer 1st place in the PH league! tongue out

It has been pretty messed up, although I actually did very well in the last one. Forgot to change the prediction this race but not sure it would have been better anyway. I would be surprised if anyone scored much in this last race due to the chaotic nature - wonder what the highest score was?

Managed to get points for all the top 7 drivers, unfortunately the top 6 all got 2 points and 5 for Raikkonen. Only 17 points, worst race so far.

Go back through his predictions - they've been the same since Monaco!! 2nd place person has been running the same predictions since Melbourne!

Interesting, I wonder where he is overall...

I've been basing mine on three years criteria - team performance level, driver 'fightyness' and previous race performance, maybe I should have stuck with a set of predictions based on my perceived end of season ranking...

I had my worst ever score. 6 points.
That will teach me for changing my line-up (I don't usually).

I came second, and had a few stupid predictions I was in the middle of updating just as it closed, wink

Still, 796 in the world for the season so far is not tooooo bad, biggrin

My season has been one of repeated failure... Started brightly, 3rd globally, but then bar predicting Merc 1-2 have been all over the place and have plummeted like a stone to around 6200th!?!?!!!



Down over a 1000 places in just one race! Surely some kind of record!!! biggrin

Haven't updated my predictions for the last three weeks - still at the top of the league, but my lead has been smashed (and I've dropped massively worldwide from about 50th halfway through the season).

Still gutted that if I'd have put a fiver accumulator on the Spanish GP I now wouldn't have a mortgage....

A tough league. On the last race I moved up 1 place in the second division of the PH league to move up almost 1900 places and into the top 7,000 on the global league. The only pundit to beat me was Andy Priaulx. I beat the Autosport pundit again.

Ended up 429 in the world, and top of the two leagues I entered. bounce

Mostly due to a stormer for Valencia - however the knowledge that I'd be mortgage free (and some!) if I'd have put a fiver accumulator on the top 6 of that race dampens it slightly... If wishes were dreams and all that - hindsight is always perfect!

Enjoyed playing, much better format than the usual 'you have X budget, pick two drivers, a chassis, engine etc.

Well done Sway - top 3 separated by 2 points on the PH league in the end. I finished 37th & beat Timo Glock & Augusto Farfus. Disappointed I didn't beat Autosport this year, but knew I had no chance of beating Andy Priaulx, he's head & shoulders above the other pundits both this year & last.

Agreed! Thank you Castrol!

Well done on doing so well Sway. A few PHers must have beat Priaulx on that league.
