122, Vettel ruined my picks, I had the top 6 nailed, I'm guessing I will be somewhere near the bottom.

Expecting a return to form in general.

156 points. I'm guessing somewhere around the cusp of the top ten for the round, which is about where I'm at on the season, as well. Norris getting screwed by the safety car didn't help.

I see you're still giving yourself points for drivers finishing outside the top, the Hulk scores you 18 points indeed, then throw in some dodgy addition work would give you 110 points instead of the 120 points you actually scored.

Round 10: Silverstone, England

The start of the race saw pole man Bottas lead away from fellow front row starter Hamilton, then came Leclerc, Verstappen, Vettel and Gasly. The opening laps Hamilton was putting Bottas under continuous pressure momentarily getting by Bottas before Bottas managed to regain the lead, Hamilton continued to put Bottas under pressure throughout the first stint often staying within DRS range.

The battle for third place between Leclerc and Verstappen was even more intense with Leclerc constantly having to defend his position with Leclerc's soft tyres probably starting to lose grip compared to Verstappen's medium tyres.

Another soft tyre starter was Gasly who was the first to pit on lap 12 going onto hard tyres, a lap later in came both Leclerc and Verstappen both changing to medium tyres, Leclerc perhaps anticipating that Verstappen was going to pit?

As the two drivers were released from their pit boxes Verstappen was released slightly in front of Leclerc as the two cars went side by side down the pit lane this enabling Verstappen to take position from Leclerc, however as the two cars rejoined the track Verstappen ran wide on cold tyres enabling Leclerc to regain his position.

On lap 16 Bottas pitted for another set of medium tyres putting him onto a 2 stop strategy, then on lap 20 Giovinazzi spun into a gravel trap and got stuck, this required a recovery vehicle to remove the car so a safety car was called, Hamilton and Vettel immediately pitted for hard tyres as did Verstappen who had only used one type of tyre.

A lap later Leclerc also stopped for hard tyres but this was a lap to late as he had been slowed by the safety car procedure and this dropped him to 6th place behind Hamilton, Bottas, Vettel, Gasly and Verstappen, Leclerc was not to happy by his poor strategy.

Hamilton was now in front because also Bottas had been slowed by the safety car procedure and unlike Hamilton, Bottas would need to stop again because he had used only one type of tyres.

At the safety car restart Verstappen was soon past his teammate Gasly into 4th place and soon closed down Vettel in third place whilst Gasly was coming under pressure from Leclerc, Leclerc got past Gasly and a few laps later on lap 37 Verstappen passed Vettel for third place, however Vettel tried to retake the position immediately but made a mistake under braking and crashed into the back of Vertsappen's car as he defended the corner. Both cars went off the track allowing Leclerc and Gasly by, Vettel rejoined the track first but let Verstappen by as he had damaged his front wing which caused him to change the wing along with a set of medium tyres.

Verstappen continued on in 5th place but his car was now quite badly damaged and he didn't have the speed to catch the cars in front, then on lap 43 it was announced that Vettel had received a 10 seocnd penalty for the incident.

On lap 44, 8 laps from the end of the race, Mercedes radioed Hamilton to change his tyres as a safety precaution which he could do without losing his lead as Bottas, who was running 3 seconds behind Hamilton, still needed to stop and Leclerc was too far behind, Hamilton declined.

A lap later Bottas made his final stop onto soft tyres and immediately set the fastest lap of the race, Mercedes once again advised Hamilton to change his tyres but again he declined, on the final lap of the race Hamilton set the fastest lap of the race and got the bonus point, I guess not too much wrong with his tyres?

So Hamilton won the race from Bottas, Leclerc, Gasly and Verstappen with Sainz the best of the rest in 6th place.

Top six in the overall standings now, very happy with that!

robins13 · Post by **robins13** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 5:57 am

Pokerman, I think you have Albon instead of Hulkenberg in your results sheet for 10th position. That explains the wrong scores and your response to PF1 mod's self calculated score.

toda11blue · Post by **toda11blue** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 9:45 am

Chuffed with a 3rd place in my 10th race! Moved up a few places in the overall standings as well.

Sorry guys I never realised that Albon got passed near the end of the race, I will rejig it all.

Edit: I now know what happened, my live timing froze near the end of the race and I never noticed, I've had this happen a few times, I should have picked up on Hamilton's last lap not going purple and needing to be told by Sky that he'd got the fastest lap.

Points question.
I admit that I just looked up how this was scored this morning.

If our picks finish outside the top 10, do we automatically score 0 points in the game for that driver no matter how close we were?
My self calculated score was 10 points off the official. I missed both Norris and Gasly by 4, but Norris finished 11th. If that's the case it explains my 10 point discrepancy.

Thanks for educating a rookie.

Keep your stick on the ice.

Yes your drivers have to finish in the top 10 to score points.

I see you're still giving yourself points for drivers finishing outside the top, the Hulk scores you 18 points indeed, then throw in some dodgy addition work would give you 110 points instead of the 120 points you actually scored.

I think it's more that I just can't add up, every individual score looks right there? The only drivers listed who finished outside the top 10 are Vettel and Norris, who I listed 0 against.

Whereas I was always good at basic maths but when it got to the hard stuff I realised it wasn't for me.
