I honestly feel so dirty collecting the 6 points I won with that prediction. But points are points...
Results will probably be up some time tonight, after I stop raging about the result!

BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX RESULTS
The Bahrain Grand Prix did its best to make up for the lack of action in Australia, delivering a storming race from start to finish, with excitement, drama and heartbreak littered throughout along with the pieces of several cars. But while the action was tense up and down the field, it's the fight for the podium that we care about here in CarlPotter's Top Three Championship.
On that front, things were looking set for a very low scoring round when Leclerc led away from pole, with only a single entrant having predicted the young Monegasque to take victory. That fell apart along with Charles' engine, however, and with Hamilton and Bottas swooping past to take a Mercedes 1-2, predictions started to click Nobody managed to fill out the first Perfect Podium of the year, however, so victory goes to those who had foreseen the dominance of the Silver Arrows - albeit probably not in the way it came about! Congratulations to
Charles LeBrad,
Jezza13 and
Icemanjee1 for taking victory in Bahrain!
Special mention goes to Herb, Jenson's Understeer and robins13, all of whom changed their predictions from a point-scoring one to something much worse.

First Place - 8 points

jzusy
Having not started a single GP this year, jzusy will be declassified pending a third DNS in China.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Individual Standings - Round Two
Five individuals share the joint points lead with 8 points apiece, but the tie is broken in favor of the three with a higher single points haul - meaning that the three joint winners of this round are also the three joint championship leaders at present. The field is separated from top to bottom by less than a Perfect Podium, so it's clearly still early days.
Bentrovato, coulthards chin, Espo, mcdo, Mod Blue, Remmirath, Mod Onyx and jzusy are all yet to score their first points of the year, and will be anxious to do so in China if they are to avoid conceding a large early gap to the leaders.
Team Standings - Round Two
Things are a little more complex in the team standings. The clear winner of this round is Management in Crisis, who take a solid 5 points for each of their drivers and the championship lead, sitting on top at present with 13 points. They are followed closely by the 2017 champions Jalopy Racing, who had a good day themselves with 9 points scored, and the newly-named Mission Copy James, who scored the same result. They sit tied for second place on 12 points each.
Another point back in fourth position is the rookie team Victorious Secret, who must surely be pleased with their start to the campaign; they sit two points ahead of the defending champions No Limit Excedrin Racing, who are on 9 points. Behind them Lotus-CC Racing and Sand Bag'n are tied for sixth place, with 8 points apiece. The Also Rans are a further point back in eighth (erroneously marked as 7th on the standings), and new team We The North rounds out the point-scoring teams in ninth place.
Crisis in Management and Drive Sauber sit tied for last at present, with neither outfit having yet scored a point with either driver.
NEXT RACE
The Chinese Grand Prix is next in two weeks' time. Another traditional track, the Shanghai International Circuit is likely to feature a form book more Bahrain than Melbourne. That ought to mean a close fight between Ferrari and Mercedes - but with Leclerc in ascendance, picking the winner may no longer be as simple as Ferrari or Mercedes.
And that can only be a good thing for our competition!

Great write-up Excediron!
Best line: "Special mention goes to Herb, Jenson's Understeer and robins13, all of whom changed their predictions from a point-scoring one to something much worse."
I scored zero points so maybe I shouldn't be laughing.

I needed to bounce back, after binning it in Aus.
We'd be leading if it wasn't for that!
