Well, that was... awful. But there's only up to go from there!

Interesting stats, though. Apparently I have so far been the worst at predicting Asian races for some unknown reason -- hopefully that'll change with Japan! It's not too surprising which three have proven the hardest to predict, since those three probably involve the most sheer luck (usually ill luck) of them all.

I'm going to be busy pretty much until the race on Sunday, so I have to get my predictions in early this time.

Oh wait, what I did there. How could I place a guy who starts dead last as first lap zero

I messed up too: changed my quali surprise from Alonso (with joker) to Hartley (fortunately without joker).

Because of the time difference, the results for this Oracle GP will have to wait until Monday.

Thank you, Brendon Hartley, for a nice haul of joker points

Ah *inaudible* - that's what you get for typing in a rush. Before a flight

That was meant to be 2 leaders, and a complete brain fade on Palmer!

Your protest has been granted. The stewards have found an irregularity or, in technical terms, brain fade.
The results have been amended.
