Pete B Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just a reminder, Chris, that not everyone has had the opportunity to see the race live - UK non-Sky customers can't start watching the race until 1930 CET..... I've got the F1TV subscription to watch live via the internet here in France, not available in all countries, so I'm OK. I think it's best to wait for John P to put up the results when the highlights programme finishes before any hints/spoilers, ta!

McG 6969 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 ... oops, sorry Pete... totally forgot that... C19-issue I guess. ... on the other hand, my 'chaotic' comment doesn't reveal much, is it?... Sorry again, young man. Cheers & keep safe Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm sure it will just whet their appetites. I'll take the 'young man' as a bonus any day... Look after yourself, the bugs are out to get you.... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 ... you're very welcome, Young Man... (please note the capital fonts). ... regarding the 'bugs', they tried earlier, Pete. No luck for them though, still alive and (slowly !) kicking. On a side note, do you remember that you posted that 'head pic' when I started my F-86 Sabre thread? Do you happen to visit the blog sometimes? Cheers & take care Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Well, well, well... The results are out on fantasygp.com and I must confess to being surprised!

Don't worry, it won't last - there's only one direction I can head! I think I benefited mainly from places gained, as all my drivers finished, in a race with an alarming number of retirements. So we get to re-run the race all over again next weekend at the same location, under the title "Styrian Grand Prix". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tee Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I had Hamilton for P2 but lost out when he was given a penalty. Did Simon do that badly or forget his predictions? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head pic, the one you posted, represents the genuine Gaston Lagaffe, with only a new red pullover instead of that old green one that he's wearing normally. Anyhow he's a lot more 'reputable' than I am. My avatar is a homemade Japanese manga-style interpretation of... myself. Including some wrinkles, my specs and grey hair the way it looks when just emerging out of bed... Cheers & keep safe Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't worry, that's my flash of brilliance/luck over for the season - so you're right, it won't last! But hey... I'm happy at the moment to be ranked "63 out of 9000+" on fantasygp. As for predictions... just think what I could have done if I'd got even one right - best I got was a "nearly" for predicting Bottas in 2nd. The rest were all just plain wrong! I guess that Simon's "The improved Webby Racing team" has not been selected yet, as well as missing his predictions. I reckon he's just giving us a head-start.

John Privett Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Right then folks, after months of no F1, it's time to get used to the races coming through thick and fast! And so we have another weekend in Austria, but this time it's labelled the Styrian GP. So, Don't forget your predictions! But what to predict? Results from P1 and P2 look very different to what we were seeing last weekend... Perez in the Racing Point heading-up P1, with Verstappen 2nd, followed by Bottas and Hamilton. P2 led by Verstappen with Hamilton 6th. Qualifying and the race are the same times as last weekend, though rain is forecast for Saturday which could disrupt qualifying...

John Privett Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The results are now on fantasygp, and the channel4 coverage is winding down, having reached the end of the race. So here's how we all did today!

Well done to Charles for his 228 point win and to 'Brake Test' (sorry, not sure that is in real life!) and to Pete for second and third on 183 and 182 points respectively. Up next, how many places in the overall league have I fallen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Here is the table after today's race; Pos Gain/loss Team Manager Pts 1 +4 Revers Racing Pete B 303 2 - Pitts Specials john stones 301 3 -2 2020 Vision johnpflyrc 298 4 +5 Crashtestdummies Brake Test 289 5 +10 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 288 6 - GASTON Formula Chris McG 282 7 -4 PSS Power Flyer 273 8 +2 Iqonic racing iqon 264 9 -1 Torque of the devil Stu 263 10 +3 Essex Racing Tony Clark 258 11 - Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 245 12 -5 Roos Racers rk295 221 13 -1 Flying Eagles Gary Goodfellow 186 14 -10 teewrex John Tee 180 15 -1 AeroArrows Bondaero 151 16 - The improved Webby Racing team Simon Webb 0 So Pete storms to the top taking a slim 2 point lead over John S, with me 3 points further back. Lots of shuffling of places with Charles gaining 10 places, but John Tee falling the same number. Next weekend it's Hungary, then we have a weekend off before the next 2 races at Silverstone.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Great score Charles. and Pete topping the league, predictions ? 2 nearlys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Congrats to Pete to take the lead of our league and to the Johns for being his wingmen. It looks like I decided to start this season in a very discrete mid-field position, but for the better I really need to improve my predictions. Same as John S, with only two 'nearly's...

Charles Pic Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Crikey, for once I did well! A lot of my points accrued from Checo Perez’s charge from a lowly grid slot up to P6, so I stand poised to take an equally impressive tumble back down the table, should Renault’s protest against the Tracing Point cars succeed!
