Charles Pic Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Crikey... i know what’s going to happen in these races in my mind, and then the race happens and it’s completely different Ah well, I’ll just admit I’m not good at this and if I can serve some purpose by making those ahead of me feel better, then I’m ok with that! I really enjoyed yesterday’s race in any case, lots of mini battles going on, even if the TV director wasn’t great at catching them. RIC vs HUL is going to be a fascinating situation this year, if the Renault cars stays working long enough for them to do battle. LEC seems to have no chance in this, his first season in Ferrari, as they will have him jump out of the way as soon as he’s seen to be impeding VET.

McG 6969 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Probably John P is having some splendid holiday time somewhere around, but here it is... Don't forget your predictions! Wondering now about the Scuderia's next strategic 'moves'... Have a great GP, gents. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks Chris! No, I'm not on holiday... that's not until July. I've been at work all week (must give that up one day!) So, it's been a rather hectic day at Baku from the accounts I've read, with FP1 being cancelled almost as soon as it started and plenty of drama in FP2. Ferrari look to be strongest, but I think I'll be ready to change my predictions after FP3 just in case! If I've got the maths right qualifying is at 2pm UK time tomorrow, with the race at 1:10pm on Sunday. As usual this season, terrestrial viewers don't get the race until later, so please no spoilers until Ch4 have broadcast their highlights. And I'll end with a reminder of the reminder... Don't forget your predictions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I went with 37 safety cars in my predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 ... that shouldn't be too far off, John. ... I had a great quali score with 0 points after declaring LEC for pole... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yep I swapped to Le Clerc also. Got 25 points though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great quali score with 0 points after declaring LEC for pole... Cheers Chris I thought Vettel would get pole, but put Leclerc for the win. Ho hum... I'm slightly optimistic for the rest of my predictions. 2 out of 3 podium places, probably in the wrong order could be achievable, and I have a good chance that fatest lap (Lelclerc), number of safety cars (3), most places gained (7+) are all possible... I think it's going to be an eventful race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I went 7+ places, fastest lap could go anywhere if safety cars out late on, yep it could be eventful, overtaking as well, the mind boggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Not as many safety cars as I'd expected, but as the channel 4 coverage has now reached the end of the race here is how we all did today; Pos Team Manager Pts 1 PSS Power Flyer 180 2 Pitts Specials john stones 163 3 iqon racing iqon 157 4 Revers Racing Pete B 155 5 GASTON Formula Chris McG 155 6 Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 140 7 AeroArrows Bondaero 139 8 Flying Eagles Gary Goodfellow 126 9 Torque of the devil Stu 123 10 Roos Racers rk295ELITE 120 11 AnyoneSeenBernie johnpflyrc 113 12 Essex Racing Tony Clark 111 13 Team Webby Racing Simon Webb 105 14 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 101 15 teewrex John Tee 67 Top scorer today with 180 points is Flyer - well done!

John S remains 3rd. Robin's 10th place today means he slips 3 places to 4th. Kev is also moving downwards, with a two place drop to 6th. Up two places to 9th is Bondaero, menaing I drop a place to 10th and Simon drops a place to 11th. Stu and Tony swap places, as do Charles and John Tee. I'm off now to revise my team! I was going to after China, but later thought better of it... Not this time! Next up is Spain and Barcelona in 2 weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Cracking score Flyer. Bunching up now in the top half, all had your early season upgrades then. Our Belgium superstar takes the championship lead, well done that man. Got SC and 7+ correct on predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Now how did that happen ??? Must fed the octopus......he's done well. well done guys; just shows what a lottery this is! cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Nice one, Ade I made some prediction changes just before quali and regretted them afterwards, although it didn't turn out quite as bad as I had expected. Gotta stick with my first instincts in future and have faith in the metaphorical pin in the monitor screen There's a gang of four of us heading down the road to Barcelona in a fortnight, so I'd like to think a bit of on-the-spot knowledge will help, but somehow I doubt it!

Pete I think there's a rule somewhere that states there's a 100 point penalty for having "a bit of on-the-spot knowledge." Obviously my "inside knowledge" from driving half the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montréal last summer doesn't count... Enjoy Barcelona, Pete! I'm sure you'll post some pics as usual.

Simon Webb Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I was right with my prediction......I did terrible!!! But now the gloves are off and I am going to race to the top.....as from next race...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 well done everybody (except me). Thought I was being logical with my choices and end up with my worst score. Hopefully the European cicuits will be more to my taste. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think John P decided to have a trip to Barcelona together with Pete & The Gang... So, gents, don't forget your predictions... Now Valtteri seems to need his winter beard. Anyhow he's 'reborn' this season. Who's 'sandbagging' most? Dunno, but it seems the 'Silver Stars' had some major progress since the winter tests. Not even thinking about 'Mission Spinnow' on Sunday... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 All done, cheers Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Thanks for the reminder Chris! No, I haven't gone to Barcelona, just been a bit busy... I'm sure we'll see some photos from Pete in due course, and some excuses from him when he fails to predict the winner despite his "inside information" gleaned from being there... So, I've switched my team around, like I intended to do before Baku, so I'm sure we'll now a swing away from Mercedes as a result of my team switch. But what to predict? Final practice is at 11am UK time tomorrow with qualifying at 2pm and the race at 2:10 on Sunday. Once again, with no live terrestrial converage I'll leave the posting of results until after channel 4 viewers have seen the race - and please, no 'spoilers' until after the ch.4 coverage. Oh, and once again - I've got to say it, haven't I! (even though Chris has already done so) Don't forget your predictions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Greetings from a very sunny Barca. I've been a bit lax on the pics so far but will get a few this afternoon. I sacked one team after quali, we'll see if I was right. John shouldn't expect too much from my inside info.....it hasn't worked!
