I let a lot of things go in this ridiculous championship we call Predicament Predictions but THAT I'll not allow. Simply because I'll probably end up doing the standings three months later and I'll have no idea what to do once I get up to this point.

Actually, he was well before the revised deadline of the start of Q1.

Damn, now is the first time I have been able to access the forum all week (the forum has only been working while I have been at work/social-ing, and the forum decides to have downtime while I have been free) and I see many other people have been to post here. Looks like I will be losing a place or two in the Predictions championship then.

I would do Brazil now, but it's a quarter to midnight here in the UK, and my mind is shot from all of this maths.

I had a tough time picking DBTMOTR as it seemed to me to be a straight fight between Button and Di Resta. In the end, I went for Di Resta which means Wizzie, Shizuka and Ugncreative Usergname all get 2 extra points. In addition, since I saw some cracking titles and the like, the following people are getting extra points:

Klon: 0.5 points for his Stone Cold impersonation
MinardiFan95: 0.5 points simply because I love that movie
Tommykl: 0.5 points simply because I can
Daxam Stark: 0.5 points to appease Emperor Montezuma
BLN: 0.6 points because 0.5 is too mainstream (and it was slightly better than the rest)

This means that the final standings for this round look something like this:

1. Coloni Subaru - 19 points
2. Wizzie - 18.5 points (half a point for your first retirement prediction)
3. WaffleCat - 18 points
