Most of you won't get many points this afternoon!

My first impression was - surely Lewis must realise that grass is slippy and he's asking for trouble, and then I saw the replay. The racing line for the next corner was on the outside, yet Nico pulled over to the inside.

I rest my case. I don't think Bernie will mind- a different winner is good for maintaining interest.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Depending on how they score it, I may have predicted the first retirement correctly. I also had a Red Bull and two Ferraris on the podium - but not in that order, and not that Red Bull.

Also guessed the right number of safety cars. Nevertheless, - I don't think I'll be moving up in the standings this week....

Great race; it just goes to show how much better the race is without one team which completely dominates and spends the entire race circulating way out in front..

I'm not too bothered since Max Verstappen is one of my drivers and I also have Ferrari and Williams as teams!  So a few points coming my way anyway..

Everyone pleased with how they're doing?
Flying Owls are way ahead, but since you can't see other peoples' teams I have no idea how or why!
I think my team is fairly consistent so always gets around the same points regardless of how others' are doing.
Consistency is key in F1; I'm sure there must be cases of the World Champ being crowned without winning any races at all in his season but if you consistently come 2nd you're in with a shout!

How about that - I didn't make any team changes, and did better than many other weekends.  ;D

You're achieving it in the overall rankings!:

  6      Scuderia Jaray       Scuderia Jaray    1317

That's going to take some beating...!

PJ's last-place deficit has fallen from 183 to 110. I just might pull this off :)

If you manage to pull off the almost impossible and get only 15 points from the remaining races I would say it's done and dusted!
As I asked before, have you sacked all  your drivers?!

Oh I don't know.
Only 32 pts takes some getting...!

Only 3 races left though and you need to get at least 78 pts less than PJ over those...
