[Born Racer]

Congratulations to smellysocks once again, after his third win in only four races. He beat runner-up gert by 92 points to 81, with the next finisher Notso Swift in 3rd with 77.

The reigning world champion stretches his championship lead from 27 points to 46. Meanwhile, I have drawn level with crmalcolm for 3rd. After a disappointing round, wolfhound drops behind Notso Swift.

Of course, it is all very, very open at this stage, so keep competing for both the championship and individual race wins.

Analysis

First and second place finishers smellysocks and gert were the two entrants to get the highest number of top 10 finishers, with 8 out of 10. The total for everyone of finishers in their correct positions was 8 out of 80.

As in Australia, nobody predicted Bottas to win. Born Racer Fan was the only competitor to predict Bottas to get Driver of the Grand Prix.

People may be trying some different strategies to get wins, as despite having won every poll so far, only 4 out of 8 predicted Mercedes to get Team of the Grand Prix.

For only the third time this season and the first since Australia, somebody predicted the top three in qualifying - that was Notso Swift.

3 out of 8 got that Charles Leclerc would snag the fastest lap.

Only crmalcolm successfully predicted McLaren would get fastest pit stop. It is the first time anyone other than Red Bull have done so so far this season.

Born Racer beating his fan I see

[Aysedasi]

I'll call the cops....... I can't abide violence........

[S griffin]

But which cops will you call? Be careful who you call....

[Born Racer]

Yes, but she often beats me and tries much less hard.

If she wins the championship, I will need to become Born Racer Fan Fan.

[S griffin]

Well that’s good you have a fan. At least you are taking it all in your stride

[Born Racer]

I'd be concerned if she weren't even a bit a fan of me, as she married me.

[S griffin]

Well that's alright then
