Congratulations to TrapezeArtist on winning the Qatar Grand Prix and taking his second win of the season.
Things stayed quite stable and tight in the championship fight, with no position changes. The top two in the championship almost mirrored each other, with Born Racer Fan scoring just one more point than Beau2.
Notso Swift wrote to me before Qatar to ask me if I could use his predictions from Japan for the Grand Prix and for the Sprint, so I took the top ten from the Grand Prix for the Sprint predictions.
