[Official] Qatar Grand Prix - Predictions Contest 2021 - Round 20 of 22 - Results

[Born Racer]

Congratulations to smellysocks on his third win of the season, extending his championship lead over Born Racer Fan to 3 points at the business end of the season. It's still a tight battle with just two rounds to go.

Realistically, you'd probably say it's between the top four for the title - with 23 points covering them.

What happened in Qatar

smellysocks was the only person to predict Stroll in the top ten, earning him 5 points for a 10th place prediction. Ocon was the next least-predicted top 10 finisher, with only 2 predictions - both in 10th, earning chunterer and steve_r 3 points.

Hamilton was predicted the winner by 12 out of the 14 entrants.

Pérez was put 4th by 8.

Alonso was predicted in 9th place by 6 people and the highest anyone put him was wolfhound, in 6th, earning him 7 points for him.

Alpine was only predicted as Team of the Grand Prix by wolfhound.

Hamilton was the only driver correctly predicted for qualifying (due to the Verstappen and Bottas penalties), but that was by 10 out of the 14.

5 out of 14 predicted the race would score a 7 and no-one went any higher. Everyone else went for a 6, but 1 (with a 5).

Finally, no-one got that Alonso would get Driver of the Day or Driver of the Grand Prix.

Note that Gnussi has his late entry for the season accepted and SallyRay too, although she only had a prediction for qualifying.

I think Aysedasi is missing from the standings.

True. I'm clearly that bad at this....... I must have been given a multi-place penalty......

[Born Racer]

I shouldn't not rush anything I do apart from my driving on the track.

[Aysedasi]

No problem, my results were all too easily overlooked.....
