Portuguese Grand Prix - Predictions Contest 2021 - Round 3 of 23 - Results

I took the win this time out in an exciting battle with some quite high scores. The championship is super close at this stage and it's a long season, with everything to play for. Congratulations to TrapezeArtist artist on taking the championship lead and on Born Racer Fan for moving up to 2nd. The rookie maintains a strong 3rd, hot on their tails.

The stats

There were 13 entrants and a very reasonable 8 correctly predicted Hamilton as the winner.

4 people got one person in their correct qually spot (three of those were for Hamilton in 2nd), but only gert got more and he got the top three right (Bottas - Hamilton - Verstappen).

The 2 people with the highest number of correct finishing positions were myself and TrapezeArtist, although TrapezeArtist had the longest string of correct ones - from Hamilton in 1st down to Leclerc in 6th correct.

As usual exact predictions and predictions 1, 2 or 3 places out dominated. Of the 130 top 10 positions predicted by the 13 entrants, only 5 were for 4 or more places out of position (crmalcolm for Ricciardo in 3rdm, mj088 for Gasly in 6th, Skam85 for Ricciardo in 5th and mj088 and wolfhound for Gasly in 6th).

The most common driver predicted in the top 10 who didn't figure was Sainz (11/13 entrants).

The most missed out driver who actually did figure in the top 10 was Ocon (5/13 predicted him).

3/13 predicted Bottas's fastest lap (Skam85, BTCC frog and gert).

Everyone predicted Red Bull's fastest pit stop (they were a shoe-in, despite Mercedes having got it last time out).

Everyone but chunterer (mixed conditions) predicted the dry weather.

BTCC frog, Aysedasi and Born Racer Fan all predicted Pérez's driver of the day win.

Aysedasi also had him erroneously as winning the Ten-Tenths poll, and chunterer, unfortunately, only had him down for the Ten-Tenths poll.

Interestingly, nobody predicted Hamilton's Driver of the Grand Prix win.

3/13 (mj088, smellysocks and Born Racer Fan) all predicted Mercedes' Team of the Grand Prix win. Alpine actually pipped them to the poll win, but as per the rules, the latter team lost some votes for the contest, because they were made by entrants.

3/13 (crmalcolm, steve_r and Aysedasi) predicted the Rate the Grand Prix score of 6/10. After a very good first couple of Grands Prix, it's worth noting that only 2 (mjo88 and Skam85) predicted a score of lower than 6.
