This one is being posted on time. As usual, the rules are on the Bahrain thread or indeed if you have any questions, just post them on here or PM me. So, it's the Italian GP and it's a triple-header, oof. Get your predictions in and I will get the results in whenever I have the time to do so. Here is your blank slate for the weekend:
1.
2.
3.
4.

10.
SR1:
SR2:
SR3:

First retirement:
Reject of the Race:
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race:
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race:
Minor League Premiership:
How Far Back:
There is always a point for the funniest race title you can come up with. The Minor League Premiership for this round contains Nikita Mazepin, Mick Schumacher, Yuki Tsunoda. You can also use double points at any time you like For Monza, seeing as it's about a year since Gasly had his magical win, I'm going to go crazy and predict that Norris will win! Oh wait I did that last time. Well, oh well maybe I'm right this time. Norris for the win!
1. Lando Norris
2. Charles Leclerc
3. Max Verstappen
4. Lewis Hamilton
5. Sergio Pérez
6. Valtteri Bottas (and it's only because of some other artificial Merc strategy)
7. Daniel Ricciardo
8. Fernando Alonso
9. Lance Stroll
10. Esteban Ocon
SR1: Charles Leclerc
SR2: Lewis Hamilton
SR3: Valtteri Bottas
Fastest lap: Valtteri Bottas
First retirement: Mick Schumacher (yet another Haas clash)
Reject of the Race: Carlos Sainz Jr. (slow slow slow and doesn't even get points)
Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race: Charles Leclerc (would have won the race if not for a puncture / getting bathplugged over by the safety car)
Deadbeat Teammate of the Race: Carlos Sainz Jr.
Minor League Premiership: Yuki Tsunoda
How Far Back: 2 laps
Your deadline for predicting is the end of FP3. You can submit after that of course, but points will be taken off depending how late you are. Good luck everyone!

I didn't say I wanted them to die... But
some banking at Zandvoort did make the racing a bit better and a lot more photogenic. And I'm sure Tecpro barriers would have their uses 8n this scenario.
Alternatively, reread my race title with a sarcastic tone. It still works.

Thanks.
Just as well I checked the thread for a response cos I realised I typed Stroll 5th instead of the far more sensible prediction of Norris that I meant.

It was a rather unusual day at Monza for the Grand Prix. Or, if you saw the 2020 race too, you might start thinking it was very ordinary! Anyway, with the crazy result and Ham-Ver not scoring, the points were quite limited and mostly confined to sprint guessing for many of you. Nobody guessed a McLaren 1-2
and nor did you guess that Lewis Hamilton would be deadbeat teammate of the race for the first time in....... at least four years. Here are the results:
Results1. RAK 14
- Fetzie 143. Batty 13

*funniest alternative race titleCongratulations to both
Fetzie and
RAK for their joint victory. Both have been hovering there or thereabouts at the front all season, so this victory will do good for both of their chances in the championship. It was a bad day for
Getz, whose low haul, along with
UncreativeUsername, will need a bounce-back at Sochi. Let's see what it does for the championship:

And there you have it!
dr-baker has kept his lead in the championship by one point, and you hardly need me to tell you that it is totally unknown at this point who is going to succeed by year-end. We're not yet at the point of mathematical eliminations, but we are starting to get there. Get those big scores in, people -
only 8 races to go. See you in Sochi
