McG 6969 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Well after a top score in Montréal, my lowest points of the season in Ricard territory. The Red Baron acting like Mad Max in the first corner ruined both my team points and predictions. Sure those Silberpfeils are strong again, but that way Lewis just had a 'Sunday walk down the straight'. ... and pretty sure that the Whiting chap grabbed Pete's Euros as that made me loose another 10 points. Congrats anyway, Pete. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Mustn't forget a congrats to Yorik, always a confidence boost to get a win from further down the table John S is a bit quiet - I think I know exactly how he is feeling - lots of 'what ifs'.... Could have done without the Mad Max antics too, Chris - didn't help with my other predictions! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Friday evening of another Grand Prix weekend and it's Austria this time. And in Red Bull's homeland Mercedes seem to have the edge in P1 and P2 with Ferarri and RB mixing up 3rd to 6th places. So, the customary reminder; Don't forget your predictions! We're back to the earlier, later, European time of 2pm for qualifying and 2:10pm for the race on Sunday (UK time) Anybody know why France was so late last weekend? I did think 2pm/2:10pm was to be the new standard time for races in Euroland this season... Looks like channel 4 have live coverage (as well as Sky) this weekend.

Pete B Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Posted by John Privett on 29/06/2018 20:50:52: Anybody know why France was so late last weekend? Someone on the campsite said that it might have been something to do Tv schedules clashing with a game of footy somewhere - England v Panama. Why they couldn't alter the time of the footy instead I don't know - it made for a very long day in the heat..... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Ah, of course! I remember thinking at the time what a 'coincidence' it was that the footy was over just before the racing started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 All done, can't get more than 1 prediction, every safety car or incident seems to be my cars/drivers, can't find any wiggle room to change things, and oddly enough my lower rated drivers have picked up decent bonus points, it's a funny old game.

Flyer Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 well, I've sacked the octopus and employed a new elephant for my predictions. As I said, the only way is down for me! Good luck everyone, as it does appear to be luck rather than anything else! Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryG Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I've figured out how to get off the bottom of the table, after yet another disastrous weekend. I just need every member of the league to forget their predictions and I might gain a few points. Over to you, guys.

McG 6969 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Indeed, a bit of a disastrous race for Gaston Formula. Ex-aequo my lowest score of the season at just 115 points. Not really surprising with the German Pfeil making totally weird strategic decisions, Max not being that 'Mad' anymore... and only 1/2 item of my predictions right. Yep, just the odd 5 points... As you can see, Gary, I'm not really picking up great points with my 'predics'. No worries from me, young man. Either I have to find Flyer's 'new elephant' twin... or stick to John 'crochet needles'...

John Privett Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Right then! I'm back from flying, and the results have been posted on fantasygp. So without further ado, here's what we scored in Austria today!

Tony was second with 180 and then a bit of a gap to Flyer on 144 with the rest of following closely - and not so closely - behind! Well done Carl - the overall top score was only 217 and Carl's 194 puts him 8th out of the entire fantasygp league today. Tony's score puts him in the top 100 overall today, at 78th. Up next, how does this leave the overal table? Edited By John Privett on 01/07/2018 20:24:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Today's results have caused place changes in the entire table except for the bottom three places.

Flyer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well done all; what a strange race! I will have to double the elephant's peanut rations!! How did I manage that escape?? Just proving that this is all luck! Off to Silverstone Thursday for the weekend; will enjoy whoever wins. Weather forecast hot hot hot, so it's a case fo packing the factor 50 and look to who looks after their tyres best. Anyway, must dash and feed the elephant!
