[Official] Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - Predictions Contest 2022 - Round 2 - Results

[Born Racer]

What happened in Saudi Arabia?

Congratulations to steve_r on a win in Saudi Arabia and on taking the championship lead. Well done to BTCC frog and Gnussi who ran him close, three points behind.

When you look at the scores for this round and the title fight, you see that we have a real battle on our hands and everyone is in contention, so keep at it. I was last, and even I'm keeping the faith. This is such a long season and there is plenty of time for everyone to make amends.

Round winner steve_r was the competitor with the most correct top 10 predictions, with 9 out of 10 correct (he only lacked Norris and had Bottas in there).

The competitors with the most correct top 10 finishers in their exact positions were BTCC frog and gert, who both had the exact top four.

Meanwhile, the least-predicted real-world top 10 finisher was Norris, chosen by just gert and crmalcolm, with the two of them opting for 9th position (he finished 7th).

The most-predicted top 10 finisher who didn't make it there was Bottas (with 12 out of 14 plumping for him, as opposed to 11 out of 14 selecting Alonso).

Nobody got the exact top 3 (and no-one put Pérez for his first pole), but both steve_r and Beau2 got 2nd and 3rd positions correct.

Leclerc was chosen as Driver of the Day by 5 out of 14, although only 3 got that Verstappen would be Driver of the Grand Prix on TenTenths.

8 out of the 14 guessed Ferrari would win Team of the Grand Prix, yet only Gnussi managed the Rate the Grand Prix score of 8, so congratulations to him.

Everyone got that the Grand Prix would be dry, but perhaps more surprisingly, no-one went with McLaren for a second consecutive fastest pit stop.
