Pete B Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Always nice to start the weekend with some points in the bag, John.... Two proverbs come to mind - "it's an ill wind...." and "There's many a slip twixt cup and lip...." Looking forward to this one......

John Privett Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Results are on badger now, for those who want to have a look. But for the sake of those still to watch the race (I think Channel 4's coverage is at 1:30) I won't post them here or make any comments until after then.

John Privett Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 And a bit of a 'deja vu' look about top spot today! Only 4 people didn't gain or lose places in the league. Joint top scorer with 148 was Pete, moving up to regain first position, and also John's Pits specials, moving up a place to 5th. Joint 3rd today with 143 points are Bond Aero and serepton, both gaining a place to 2nd and 7th respectively, and also Simon who moves up 2 places to 8th. Sixth today was myself with 140 points, but remaining 6th in the league. Seventh today was the slopeflyers with 130 points and a two-place gain to 12th. Eighth with 127 points is Kev's Norfolk Flyer. Kev remains at the foot of the table. Ninth today was Tony with 119 points, slipping a place to 5th. Tenth is shared between Iqon, Gary and Ian with 118 points each. Iqon slips a place to 10th, Gary stays 11th and Ian remains in 13th. 13th today was David with 116, dropping two places to 9th. 14th today was Essex Racing with 103 points and a two place drop to 14th. Finally Carl scored 97 today and drops from top to 3rd. Well it was quite an eventful race with lots of cars out of position. Next up is Russia in two weeks. I'll be in Vancouver so not sure I'll get to see the race and the badger results may be delayed by a little while! As always, all the gory details are in my spreadsheet on google docs.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well done Pete, and me My gast is well n truly flabbered John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well done yourself, John. Yes, another race with plenty of action and no retirements - about 5 years since that last happened - wonder if Badger will add a 'No retirements' option to the predictions now? My gast is beyond flabber, too - I really couldn't see 148 points coming out of that! Wonder if Vettel will think any differently about his petulant outburst in the morning? A long haul ahead and the only way for me is down...... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Posted by john stones 1 on 18/04/2016 00:17:57: What's he done/said ? From the BBC; Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel was quickly on the team radio, blaming Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat for coming up the inside like a "madman" and, allegedly, forcing him into Kimi Raikkonen. After the race he was back on the wireless, describing the Russian's move as "suicidal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I wonder if Carl/Erf missed his predictions with moving house, I see he got lowest score ? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Possibly he did, John. Which is why it's always a good idea to put in a "banker" set of predictions for the next race just after the results of the last race are put up on Badger. If you later forget to update them then at least you've got something in place. (I'll confess to rarely following my own advice though!)

John Privett Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just done them Pete! Thanks to the WiFi network at Toronto airport. Just spent the afternoon in Toronto, up the CN Tower, looking round the skydome baseball stadium etc.... Next stop Vancouver for a couple of days, then driving to Banff for a day or two end of season skiing, and weather permitting a helicopter flight around the mountains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 No predictions right and race not much better, I predict a move downwards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 A me to. What ever any one may say, that Russian driver is erratic, Daniel Kvyat? Should be suspended. Although made no difference to my non predications. Seems a long hard look at my team or my predictions is required. There is an irony, i had thought that Rosberg was a winner. Although he appears to be a more successful non world champion than Stirling Moss. Although my farther use to say that was only because Mercedes wanted to sell more cars in South America, than they thought was possible in the UK.
