Here we are then, the result for the first round of Picks & Mix 2024.
Some of us got off to a flyer, some of us need to work a bit harder apparently but there are plenty of races still to go.
When it came to 13th on the grid, only Picci got Albon and scored 10 points. P.Cornelius Scipio, Matt and SBan83 all had their picks come either 12th or 14th and they scored 5 points. Monte Cristo, Everso Biggyballies and myself scored 0.
Last starter had us all fooled, no one thought it would be Gasly, indeed I'd got him to start 13th, oopsie, so no one scored points there.
Fastest Lap Most of us picked Max for this one and scored here.
Driver finishing 11th No one picked Zhou to finish 11th, but Matt picked up 5 points there for picking Stroll who finished in 10th.
DNFs. Now, I hope you all read the previous post I put about this, I have scored it differently this go around as I obviously didn't make it clear as to what we were picking. As I said from now on it's the number of DNFs in the race, not who will DNF first. As it goes, we had no DNFs this race, so no one scored points here either.
Bonus points for the podium finish
1st Verstappen
2nd Perez
3rd Sainz.
We had mixed results here, we all got 10 for picking Max to win, several of us got Perez but no always in the right place and Monte Cristo was the only one of us who put Sainz as being on the podium and in 3rd, so well done there.
To the totals and leader board then, of course it's the first race so they're the same thing.
1st Matt 40 points
2nd Monte Cristo - 30 points
= Picci - 30 points
= Sban83 - 30 points
5th Everso Biggyballies - 25 points
= Star - 25 points
7th P.Cornelius Scipio - 15 points
Huge congratulations to
@Matt , he's off to a flyer and is leading the table. It's now up to the rest of us to catch and pass him if we can
I hope you are all okay with your scores, please feel free to check them in case I made any mistakes.
The thread for Saudi Arabia will be up shortly as again, the race is Saturday so your picks need to be in before FP1 on Thursday.
Thanks for playing and good luck in round 2
