Picks & Mix Game 2024 Round 6 Miami [+ Results]

#1

Post by Star »

We cross the pond this time and race in Miami Florida USA. Now due to the time difference and when they show the highlights, it means I won't see the race until Monday morning, so you will be a bit longer getting the results, sorry. I will get them up as soon as I can, you can be assured of that.

Hopefully we'll do better than the last round, it shouldn't be too difficult to do that hopefully. I've stuck with the same usual picks, though I'm considering maybe changing them at the halfway point to keep us on our toes. Any thoughts you have about that are welcome :cool:


Here are your usual five main picks

1. Who will start the race from 13th place on the grid? Guess correctly and you score 10 points, if your pick starts in either 12th or 14th, you score 5 points.

2. Who will be the last driver on the starting grid? (pit lane starts don't count) 10 points for the correct driver.

3. Which driver will get the fastest lap? 10 points for the correct driver.

4. Who will be the first pointless driver? In other words, who will finish the race in 11th place? 10 points for the correct driver, 5 points if your driver finishes 10th or 12th.

5. How many cars will DNF? 10 points if you are correct.


Bonus Pick

Which driver will pit first and on which lap will it happen? 10 points if you get the driver correct, 10 points if you get the lap correct. Manage to get both correct and you get an extra 10 points giving you 30 points. So think hard my friends.





Copy and Paste for your answers if it helps


1. (start 13th)
2. (last starter)
3. (fastest lap)
4. (finish 11th)
5. (No. of DNFs)

Bonus

(1st driver to pit)
(Lap number of 1st pit)


Have a good think, then please get your picks in before FP1 which is 12.30pm local time or 4.30pm GMT which is 5.30pm BST on Friday.

I wish you all good luck as always. :cool:

Here we are then, the result for Miami Thrice. If you thought the scores were bad last race, you ain't seen nothing yet!! :shocked: This is just insane, none of us were in any way ready for this result apparently. :( Read 'em and weep people and believe me, you probably will :tearful:


1. 13th on the grid: Ocon and no one chose him, bless. 12th Gasly, again, no takers there either. 14th Albon which Everso Biggyballies and Monte Cristo guessed, so well done to them. It all goes downhill from here, trust me.

2. Last starter: Well originally it was Zhou which would have scored both P. Cornelius Scipio and Star some points. However, thanks to Ricciardo's penalty, he ended up starting last and that means, no one scored anything on this one again. Deep joy :rolleyes:

3.Fastest Lap: Piastri, so yeah, no one got that. :amazed:

4. Driver finishing 11th: Hulkenberg, 10th Ocon, 12th Gasly Did anyone score anything here? No!! :down:

5. DNFs: 1 we all assumed there would be more. :aggro:

Bonus points.

The first driver to pit was: Albon, did anyone choose him? Of course not :rolleyes:

That happened on lap: 10, yeah we didn't get that either. :sorrow:



To the totals and leader board then:


1st Ruslan 10
2nd Everso Biggyballies 5
= Monte Cristo 5
4th Matt 0
= Picci 0
= P. Cornelius Scipio 0
= Star 0
= Vassago 0


Congratulations to today's winners @Everso Biggyballies and @MonteCristo


Overall the scores look like this:

1st Monte Cristo 125 =
2nd Matt 120 (down 1 place)
= Star 120 (down 1 place)
4th Picci 110 (=)
5th Everso Biggyballies 100 (=)
6th Vassago 90 (=)
7th Ruslan 80 (=)
8th P. Cornelius Scipio (=)


The person to catch is now @MonteCristo as he's taken the lead outright, along with winning Guess The Pole this round too. Being in Englad clearly suits him, maybe he should stay until the end of the season ;) :tongue: :haha:

Please feel free to check your scores in case of mistakes (what few there are). Please also look out for the thread next weekend for the next race at Emilia Romagna, or Imola if you prefer, which of course didn't happen last year due to flooding. Hopefully that won't be the case this year.

Thanks as always for playing and good luck in the next round :cool:



Apparently I made a big oopsie and I missed the fact that @Ruslan scored 10 points, so he is in fact our winner for this round after all. I'm so sorry my friend :mates: :blush: :blush:
