F1 Fanatic Predictions Championship gets even closer after round seven
Only graham228221 predicted the podium correctly at the German round

No-one predicted the pole sitter and podium correctly at the Nürburgring. This time the highest scorer was graham228221 – the only person to correctly name the podium as Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel and Felipe Massa.
He was one of 25 people who correctly predicted Mark Webber’s maiden victory. The less said about my prediction (a Vettel win from pole with the Brawns filling the rest of the podium) the better.
It was a pot-boiler of a result for the championship as leader Dougie sees his advantage trimmed by Saloolas. Also moving up is the ever-consistent Dank, who has climbed steadily from 78th after the Spanish round to equal third with Benno and Sush.
Graham228221’s cunning prediction sees him climb 83 places to hold equal 40th. Here’s the standings in full:
Thanks for this championship Keith, I love it. I have to work on my DNFs, they cost me dearly. Congrats to all the predictors.
You’re welcome! I need to find a less time-intensive way of running it next year though. And more prizes
Thanks for doing the effort, Keith
Ha! Now I’m only 3 places behind you!
I’m in your quadraple difuser. Are you scared already?!
I just wish I jumped on sooner! I’ve only played three rounds and am on 60 points!
Damn Massa this time, he’s the only one I got wrong this week!
Just 10 points in my first prediction, but I’ll surely get it right on the next round!
Awesome game Keith. Congrats.
Once I was 3rd today 11th.Day by day I am going down.
What will happen at the end of the season is anybody’s guess.
I didn’t realise I’d do quite so well on this, I should have taken it a bit more seriously to start with instead of putting Sutil on the podium every other race.
Now i’m playing the numbers game.
Although I got the first two places right I was also going to say Webber for pole as well but decided to chang it to Vettel before I clicked submit, Doh! Oh well I am still in the top ten for now.
Damn my office laptops!
Not being able to open any social networking sites! They have blocked all! 
You scored 10 points, your total is 110 points, and you’re 31st in the overall standings.
Visually, you’re around the 3/4 mark of the first page (looking from the top).
Thanx a lot, Damon! Thought I was in the 2nd page!
I may be a moron, but Can anyone tell me how to see the results in full?
I’m quite happy to be on page 2 after 3 or 4 times lol
@Keith: Aren’t the mid season drivers’ review coming yet??
I didn’t get to predict this time because I was on holiday. I went from 26th to 40th
In this list I see Eddie Irvine (tied 182nd) as the epitome of consistency.
w00t! my cunning powers of prediction finally strike gold
I missed the first two points-scoring rounds, so to be 40th is not too shabby IMHO. Bring on the rest of the season!
Ahhhh….good Webbber, he gave me 35 points
I got him as pole and winner….just Button didn’t get the 3rd place…
Nearly in the first page
Dougie is like Senna. Alas, I am more like Jean Alesi. lol.
I had Webber getting pole and winning at Silverstone. Obviously, that didn’t go well. So this time, I thought I’d play it safe and predict Vettel would get pole and win.
I don’t think I’m terribly good at this prediciting lark…
i think i was pretty close for maximum points.
firstly because i didn’t expect any brawn driver to be on podium(very big chance, seeing the past), which happened, then i predicted webber to be on pole and take the win and vettel third with trulli second.
Seeing trulli set the second fastest time i think my prediction was pretty close.
btw good competiotn and great website keith.
