F1 Side Competition Progress

Post by tubeguru »

To aid me in keeping track of the predictions for this season I have created this thread, which I will update as the season goes on. Some of the categories have "unknown" as their current status, whereas others show the current leader/loser/top scorer in that category.

Note that as a lot of stewards' decisions are made after a race, prediction number 11 may not be up to date immediately afterwards.

LATEST UPDATE: BRAZIL

1. How many different teams will win races?

Current stat: Four (Ferrari, Lotus, Red Bull and Mercedes)

2. Who will be the first person to retire from the Australian Grand Prix after the lights go out? (DSQs will not count)

Current stat: Pastor Maldonaldo

3. Who will be the last person to retire from the Brazilian Grand Prix before the flag drops? (DSQs will not count)

Current stat: Charles Pic (he was the first non-classified finisher, and he retired from suspension failure

4. Which driver will get the most pole positions?

11. Which driver will receive the most penalties for driving infringements? (Note: this category now includes ALL penalties a driver may incur, for any reason)
