What happened
I take my fourth win of the season, closing a little on F1Guy, who holds a slender championship lead of 10 points. My winning combination included the top three in qualifying correct and 8 out of 10 drivers in the top ten, although I didn't score so well on the other predictions (just the weather and Driver of the Day).
smellysocks, as you put Vettel in first and third for qualifying, I figured that you meant to predict him on pole rather than third and therefore didn't award any points for that. Can you please confirm if that is correct?
