@William Bennett53/">@@William Bennett53 - You had 41 points—if I'm not mistaken—which netted you an extra 3 major points. That’s three plus three, giving you a total of 6 main points. - Tbf is in Group B, while you're stuck in Group A—maybe take a look at the standings once in a while!!!!
Here’s my prediction for the Singapore Group Stage—I actually meant to post this for Italy, but I missed the window and now it’s been moved over to Singapore. Let all my other predictions stay right here too—since apparently the moderators just love digging through this forum for any reason at all.
1. Rosberg 2. Hamilton 3. Alonso 4. Bottas 5. Massa 6. Ricciardo 7. Raikkonen 8. Vettel 9. Button 10. Magnussen
Ugh, Group A is incredibly tight—what a mess. I really should have posted my predictions earlier, but I just didn't have the time—driving school obligations totally derailed my schedule. Fingers crossed for an equally intense battle at the next race in Singapore.
CONGRATS TO ROSSI ON THE WIN AT THE US GRAND PRIX IN ITALY!!!!! Such a shame for the Midwest regarding that missed opportunity!!!!
My PREDICTION FOR THE 2014 ITALIAN GRAND PRIX (MONZA)
In the overall standings, I'm sitting at 5th in Group A—though if you look strictly at the main points, I've actually got second.
1. Nico Rosberg 2. Lewis Hamilton 3. Fernando Alonso 4. Valtteri Bottas 5. Felipe Massa 6. Daniel Ricciardo 7. Kimi Raikkonen 8. Sebastian Vettel 9. Jenson Button 10. Kevin Magnussen
what???? Belgium was a total wash—better luck at Monza!!!!
If he'd actually taken first, he might have more points, but we'll just have to see how things shake out at Monza.
Congrats to briskhound76 for grabbing the lead in Group A, while I've plummeted straight to the back (5th out of 6)—I'm trailing by 31 points now, which is a massive hole to dig out of. I'm just hoping to snag at least 2nd or 3rd by the end.
PREDICTION FOR THE VN BELGIUM (SPA) 2014 TOURNAMENT—SINCE I’M SITTING ON 34 POINTS AND CURRENTLY CLOCKING THE TOP SPOT IN MY GROUP, LET'S SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT.
IF QUALIFYING IS DRY:
1 ROSBERG 2 HAMILTON 3 ALONSO 4 BOTTAS 5 MASSA 6 RICCIARDO 7 KVYAT 8 MAGNUSSEN 9 VETTEL 10 RAIKKONEN
IF QUALIFYING GETS WET:
1. HAMILTON 2. ROSBERG 3. BOTTAS 4. MASSA 5. ALONSO 6. KVYAT 7. BUTTON 8. PEREZ 9. HULKENBERG 10. VERGNE
OFF TO A GREAT START, from what I can see. All that effort actually paid off.
As for the groups—it looks like things are going to be intense right up until the final round (if I'm not mistaken, there are still 6 left)—but I’m going to give it everything I've got to make it through this first stage.
It’s going to be especially brutal in Group A (mine), where I’ll be battling swifttiger75, Jessica Ramos12, William Bennett53, briskhound76, and Mladen (but honestly—Mladen doesn't stand a chance here).
TOO BAD FOR SOME of you—I could've nailed a few more picks—but better luck next time to the rest of you.
William Bennett53 said:gentlecobra23 is making the call here—but personally (speaking as a competitor)—I’m fine with either format. We could go with four advancing per group, which sets up those standard quarterfinal matchups: 1a vs 4b, 2a vs 3b, 3a vs 2b, and 4a vs 1b. Or, we stick to this three-advancement idea that swifttiger75 is pushing for. Honestly? The first option might actually be better if we want to keep more people involved in the knockout stage. 😉
I’m on board with this proposal from William Bennett53 and swifttiger75.
Here I am—count me in if you guys are still taking entries.
MY PREDICTIONS
1. Nico Rosberg 2. Lewis Hamilton 3. Sebastian Vettel 4. Fernando Alonso 5. Daniel Ricciardo 6. Valtteri Bottas 7. Felipe Massa 8. Kevin Magnussen 9. Jenson Button 10. Hulkenberg
