Two points back on 119 we have three people - Pete, Kev and Glenn. Well done to today's top scorers. Next, let's see how the overall leagus looks after today's race; os League Rank Team Manager Pts 1 1 0 Igoronic racing iqon 1723 2 2 0 GASTON Formula Chris McG 1633 3 3 0 Essex Racing Tony Clark 1620 4 4 0 Revers Racing Pete B 1541 5 5 1 Oyster f1 Glenn Philbrick 1466 6 6 1 Pitts Specials john stones 1459 7 7 0 DMFC Racing Team Simon Webb 1406 8 8 1 Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 1366 9 9 1 LetsGoTotoLetsGo GrumpyGnome 1365 10 10 0 Torque of the devil Stu 1342 11 11 1 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 1336 12 12 1 teewrex John Tee 1312 13 13 0 Hans Brake Zoonie 1305 14 14 0 PSS Power Flyer 1298 15 15 0 The JP Specials johnpflyrc 1205 No change at the top, with Iqon's win today guaranteeing he remains top. Chris stays second with Tony third. Our first place change is Glenn moving up to 5th, displacing John S to sixth. Kev moves up a place 8th, squeezing GrumpyGnome down to 9th. And our final place swap today sees Charles mving ahead of John T, leaving them 11th and 12th. Next up, next weekend, is Hungary - the last race before the summer break. Can Ferrari once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well don Iqon, Chris and Tony. Got pole right and winner right everything else went downhill fast. John 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Congrats for Gold to Igor (once more ! 🙃) and for triple Silver to Pete, Kevin & Glenn as well. With only 1 prediction correct and DNFs for 2 of my team's drivers, it surely wasn't Gaston Formula's day... But I can't really blame Monsieur Ricard, can I ? See you all next week-end.

Glenn Philbrick Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Very difficult to predict the results so far this season. With the red team continually falling down the order for one reason or another. I have a thought, I seem to remember Louis saying that he would like to drive for Ferrari! With the mistakes the team are making I wonder if that could be his retirement plan. I await comments . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Evening all... Apologies for the late reminder - I got distracted with other stuff! Hungary this weekend, before F1 takes its summer break. So, first of all; Don't forget your predictions! Ferrari have had 1st and 3rd in both P1 and P2, but with different drivers. Sainz topped P1 from Verstappen, with Leclerc third, ahead of Norris, Russell, Perez and Hamilton. It was Leclrec's turn to top P2, this time with Norris second, Sainz third, then Verstappen. The Mercedes duo could only manage 8th (Russell) and 11th (Hamilton.) Usual European times with qualifying at 3pm UK-time on Saturday and the race at 2pm on Sunday. P3 - if you want to wait before doing your predictions (or better still, adjust the predictions you've already entered) is from noon to 1pm. Good luck, everbody! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I hope that the F1 officials have got the virtual safety car, restart, working properly now. At least it favoured Russel, although I much prefer a system without glitches that doe not favour anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Agreed, but I don't have the impression some team is clearly dominating right now... Quite balanced so far, isn't it? ... except of course for some DNFs, bien sûr... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well done fellas. Same old for me, rubbish. Ferrari need to go look for a plot during the break, shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Congrats to Tony, GrumpyG and Simon. 🍾 I've lost the plot with Bottas' DNF & the following VSC... 20 pts down the drain in the few last laps... As JohnS mentioned, the Reds from Maranello really need to act on a less 'amateur' way. Anyhow, enjoy the Summer Break, gents.

Erfolg Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I suspect that most have very similar teams, and possibly making similar predictions, as it looks that the differences in points between top and bottom is not massive. I see Tony is a Russell supporter, I think he is amongst the most promising drivers at present. How Louis came to pass him, so tamely, is a shame, team orders, deference, or team machinations (with respect to tyre conditions). Hopefully Mercedes will recognise they have a new sherrif in town or possibly have another "Nico Rosberg" on their hands. Yet again Verstappen and the team Red Bull (that is Newey, Horner etc), have shown how outstanding they are. Not sure about Perez, he is very good, though not always outstanding. I understand that Mercedes are still trying to ham string Red Bull Powertrains, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 GR recognised LH was on faster rubber so, unlike Alpine, saw no point in fighting with each other...... Possibly a bit premature to say there's a new Sheriff - rumour seems to be that Merc have experimented more with LH as he's more experienced. Will be interesting to see how the remaining races go as Merc resolve their issues. Much as it pains me to say it, Red Bull look the complete package. I doubt they'll ever have anyone outstanding (apart from MV) as they'd be told long, hard, and repeatedly, that MV is #1.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
