Analysis


In the championship, things stay fairly stable, with smellysocks stretching his championship lead out over me by 2 points from 60 to 62. Everyone stays in their championship positions.

Japan was the first time this season that nobody predicted any of the top three in their positions in qualifying.

Although scores were generally high, only 5 race finishing positions were predicted exactly, Bottas in 1st for Notso Swift and gert, Pérez in 9th for Born Racer Fan and Pérez and Hülkenberg in 10th for myself.

Apart from crmalcolm, everyone got all but 2 top 10 finishers (apart from runner-up Notso Swift, who got all but 1), which was impressive going considering it wasn't to be predictable that Verstappen wouldn't score.

With the disqualifications of the Renault cars of Ricciardo from 6th place and Hülkenberg from 10th place, the results are affected as below. Leclerc, Gasly and Pérez all move up, while Stroll and Kvyat enter the points. This has affected some things, but well done to gert, who remains the winner, and actually has a higher victory margin. He now has 109 points for the round instead of the 96 from before, mainly by virtue of the entry of Stroll.

Analysis

4 entrants had Pérez in 8th place, so they add an extra 2 points for that, while the same also had Gasly in 9th so they lose 2 for that. The gainers overall are crmalcolm and gert, who had Stroll in their top ten, and wolfhound and smellysocks. Nobody had Kvyat.

I was the biggest loser, as I dropped from 80 points to 67, making the championship battle with smellysocks tougher.

You can compare the differences in results with the previous post.
