Silverstone is the home race of many drivers including Lewis Hamilton, and this showed on predictions. Hamilton was selected four times (funny note, by members holding last four positions in the standings) and it didn't go wrong. Norris had a slight disappointment while Russell achieved his best result to date.

From the rest, Magnussen was a popular pick but it was a bad one as clash between Haas team-mates ended their races early. Costaz was a big loser having picked Vettel for this round. So the good forecasts shown after previous race didn't last long.

Grayson has a good lead but of course it isn't safe since Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen are still unused. Bad race at wrong spot can be destructive.

Bright side: Technically I'm the best in picking their worst possible results :blush:

The crazy German GP shuffled things up. No favourites among picked drivers as nobody was picked more than twice. GTA (Kvyat), alekracing (Stroll) and mark f1 (Kubica) can be considered big winners in this round.

SpaceHorseParty was a big loser of the round, being the first to get something other than 1 point from Hamilton.

GTA took the overall lead, but Grayson is leading all forecasts now and Makarias is also well-placed.

Hungarian race had a number of good and bad performances. No major changes in the overall.

Btw, I noted that Brawn BGP 001 had four points too many in earlier standings, but that's now fixed.

With the Gasly/Albon switch, here's how members have used them.

Used both:

Costaz

f1paul

Kev00

M2000-5

SpaceHorseParty

thequadge

Used Gasly:

Anderis

KWSN - DSM

Makarias

Marklar

Used Albon:

alekracing

Barty

Brawn BGP 001

DutchQuickSilver

Grayson

GTA

mark f1

Used neither:

More points is better, isn't it?

The race for last place is still on!

Belgian GP didn't offer a lot of good points - with Räikkönen being a popular pick. Perez was 6th and that was good for Makarias, M2000-5 and thequadge.

Only one picked Leclerc for the past two races - it was f1paul in Italy.

In Italy, Vettel became the first driver who has been used by every member.

For now, Makarias is the actual leader and leading two out of three prediction models as well.

The most popular driver in Singapore was Gasly. When the predictions were made, I don't think many would have expected him to drive Toro Rosso in this race. Anyway, eighth is respectable result in his current position. Those picking Verstappen got least points this time out.

The lead changed hands as Makarias's pick on Ricciardo didn't pan out well.

GTA having both Williams drivers unused affects the forecast a lot.

Situation after Russia. A big blow for Anderis with Verstappen picked for Japan. Makarias now leads the current standings plus all the forecasts. Remaining: Hulk, Verstappen and Sainz.

Damn those Ferraris. First Vettel ruined Stroll's race at Monza, and now Leclerc ruined Verstappen's race at Suzuka. :mad:

Apart from very late driver changes, per rules, this is the final order as there has not been any new drivers entering during the season. Without driver changes there is one possibility for change in the order - f1paul will end ahead of DutchQuickSilver if Daniel Ricciardo wins Abu Dhabi GP.

Makarias 175

Grayson 184

scheivlak 192

mark f1 196

Kev00 200

thegforcemaybewithyou 201

Costaz 204

thequadge 204

Brawn BGP 001 205

Anderis 206

KWSN - DSM 206

DutchQuicksilver 208

f1paul 208

GTA 210

alekracing 211

SpaceHorseParty 215

Marklar 216

M2000-5 217

Barty 220

With 22 races in next year's schedule, I plan some changes. Provisionally two drivers would be selected twice with second selections being applied to last two races.
