I will be trekking across the Black Mountains for the next three days so will have no internet access between now and the race on Sunday. This means this is the latest I can submit my predictions for the Russian GP (annoyingly, as I won't get to watch practice first) so here are my Russian GP predictions, if someone wouldn't mind copying and pasting them into the official entries thread when that is made. Thank you.

1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Valtteri Bottas
3. Max Verstappen
4. Sergio Perez
5. Lando Norris
6. Daniel Ricciardo
7. Carlos Sainz
8. Pierre Gasly
9. Lance Stroll
10. Charles Leclerc

Goodness me 3 wins but reliability otherwise has been poor!

Other notes:

6 out of 11 predicted Norris for the podium, but no-one picked Ricciardo.

6 out of 11 also went for McLaren as team of the Grand Prix.

steve_r was the only person to predict Bottas as high as the podium.

Aside from Hamilton and Verstappen, of course, Vettel was the most incorrectly predicted driver in the top 10, with 3 people choosing him.

Aysedasi was the only one to predict Russell in the top 10. Russell has now had 3 top 10 results in the last 4 Grands Prix.

Only 1 person (smellysocks) chose Stroll, making him and Russell the least predicted actual top 10 finishers.

This time, nobody predicted any of the top 3 finishers in the spring in their correct positions, and unsurprisingly, nor did they predict Ricciardo as Driver of the Grand Prix or McLaren as fastest pit stop winners.

There was a copy and paste error in this thread for some of the results (e.g. sprint results and Driver of the Grand Prix), which has now been amended. Please note that the results were correct, as they were calculated from a different sheet with the right results for all the categories.
