[Official] Turkish Grand Prix - Predictions Contest 2021 - Round 16 of 22 - Results

[Born Racer]

Congratulations to wolfhound on a third win of the season, drawing level with chunterer on total victories. In the title race, things have been switched up again, with smellysocks clawing back an 11-point deficit to first place and converting it into a 3-point lead, so congratulations to him too after finishing just a point behind the Grand Prix winner. Just 3 points separated 4th to 7th place in this event too, including 3 of the title contenders.

What happened in Turkey

Only wolfhound and gert predicted Bottas to win (that's 2 of 11 entrants).

Ricciardo and Alonso were erroneously predicted as top 10 finishers by all entrants.

Stroll was the least predicted actual top 10 finisher, by just the top 2, smellysocks and wolfhound. He has finished in the top 10 in exactly 50% of the races.

Only 5 entrants predicted Sainz to come in the top 10 (not including me; I even thought before checking the results, I had included him). chunterer predicted him in his exact finishing position of 8th, one of 9 correct finishing predictions out of a possible 110 - winner wolfhound got 3 of those - Bottas and Verstappen in 1st and 2nd, and Leclerc in 4th.

Despite finishing in the top 10 in two-thirds of the last 6 races, Russell was only put in the top 10 by Aysedasi. Russell didn't make it in there.

Norris finished 7th for the second Grand Prix in a row and was predicted as a driver of the day or driver of the Grand Prix 9 times (out of a possible 22). He failed to get either spot.

5 out of 11 entrants got the correct top 3 qualifying order of Hamilton - Bottas - Verstappen.

For the 2nd Grand Prix in a row, we saw a mixed race. Aysedasi was the only one to predict it this time, and was one bad decision by Vettel's team away from not getting it.
