McG 6969 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Full congrats to John S... ... and indeed a fantastic 'welcome' score for Glenn P. ? I just hope to be a little better awake for Imola as there will be no summer time switch then... ? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Pic Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Oops, schoolboy error of forgetting to do predictions ? Need to get back into the habit of doing fantasy F1 properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 ... no worries, John T... it's still 'early season'. I had the same prob with that 'Turn 4' situation for my podium predicts and in addition Bottas' last lap did 'cut' me an other prediction... ? Next time better...

John Privett Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Right then, pay attention! It's now Friday evening at the start of another GP weekend, this time in Italy. So time for the customary reminder; Don't forget your predictions! Mercedes have topped both practice sessions today, but it's Bottas who was fastest both times. P3 is at 10:00 BST with qualifying at 13:00. The race on Sunday starts at 14:00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 With the Channel 4 coverage safely finished it's time to reveal the results from today's race; Top place with 161 points goes to John S - well done John! 9 points back on 152 is John Tee, with Chris only 2 points further back. The rest of us trail along behind, with he-who-shall-remain-nameless propping up the scores today with a dismal 103 points... In the next post, how does this affect the overall table?

John Privett Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The table now looks like this after today's race; The top three remain unchanged, with John S leading, ahead of Glenn and Chris. Ade moves up 1 to 4th, with Tony moving up 2 places to 5th. This means that somebody has dropped places to make way for them, and it's Pete who's dropped 2 places to 6th with Kev also dropping a place to 7th. A little further down, Iqon moves up a place to 9th with John Tee moving up 2 to 10th. Simon remains in 11th, but it's me who suffers the biggest drop today, 3 places down to 12th. I'm now battling with Charles for last place... Regardless of our scores, an eventful race! Next up is Portugal in two weeks' time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Watched the race and saw nearly all my predictions go down the pan and thought I might just get a few bonus points and end up with what I think is my second best score in the league, so well chuffed. Not got any ideas about repeating that so not hoping to rise to much further as I am used to being near or at the bottom. Well done John S.

McG 6969 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Congrats to John S once more - this should be enough now. ? ... and well done to John T as well... keep the faith now! Mixed feelings here with my predictions, but it could have been worse, I guess... Thanks again to John P for his dedication... and next time better, young man.

McG 6969 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 ... I gained 5 pts, but poor Glenn lost his second place in the standings now... ... no idea why or what happened??? At first look, it might have something to do with Gasly/Alpha Tauri, but why? Does somebody know? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqon Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I thought it was Raikkonen 5 points ? , I should have kept my mouth shut.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Philbrick Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think I might have to abandon my faith in an x world champs son. Very disappointed so far. Will give him the benefit of the doubt for one more race and then change. My heart is still with Lewis but I can’t afford him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Raikkonon penalise for something and dropped out of the top ten. I gained 2 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It seems Kimi was given a 30-second penalty after the race. I do recall it being mentioned that he would be investigated for regaining the places he lost when he went for his little spin whilst on the lap behind the safety car before the restart. It seems I gained 5 points for that!

Charles Pic Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 What do we think about the new “sprint qualifying”? I guess the right thing to do is try it and see how it goes. How will it look if the sprint race turns out to be an excellent, exciting race then the main Grand Prix is processional bore fest? Or maybe that’s the hidden agenda, perhaps F1 group want to move towards having two shorter races each weekend instead of one long Grand Prix, and step 1 in the plan is to demonstrate how much more exciting a sprint race can be?!Haha, I’m forgetting Bernie isn’t in charge any more, surely there cannot be any secret plan involved?!

McG 6969 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Not that sure regarding the 'sprint qualifying', Charles. But as you wrote, let's wait & see... One thing is for sure, the tyres quotations are far from simple for those weekends. You nearly need an Excel sheet to find your way through it. Regular F1 viewers will be totally 'submerged', I'm afraid... In the meantime, Portimao is next at our door... Think about your predictions, gents. ?

John Privett Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well here we are again, another GP weekend and this time it's Portugal. So first, the customary reminder; Don't forget your predictions! Mercedes have headed both P1 and P2, but with Bottas in P1 and Hamilton in P2. Verstappen has taken 2nd in both sessions so far. The race is at 3pm (BST) on Sunday with qualifying at the same time tomorrow. Final practice is at noon tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
