@AnthonyJay won the German Grand Prix round of the Predictions Championship after a close four-way tie-breaker. Impressively, Anthony was just 0.014s off predicting Lewis Hamilton’s pole time exactly.

Runners-up @Wsrgo (second) and @S-D (third) were separated by just four-thousandths of a second! Sadly fourth-placed Guglielmilo (@Guglielm038) narrowly missed out on winning a prize.

Here’s what the top three players won this week:

    1. So will 3rd place receive the new construction Pirelli kevlar belt wristbands so their wrists don’t randomly explode whilst writing?

    2. @keithcollantine

      I think the results table shows last week’s results.

      1. @mike-dee Sorry about that – correct table in now.

        1. Thanks. And for the first time, I almost made it into the table :) Will try again for Hungary.

    3. For the 1st time i made into the table also into top 50s…:D

    4. Yippee!!! BTW, how do I receive the prizes, @keithcollantine ?

    5. Another poor weekend for me. Someday I’ll score double-figures. Someday…

    6. Poor weekend for me as I was abroad and didn’t have reliable internet to amend my prediction, yet surprisingly I found myself in 60th place. Can’t complain :) Need to do better though

    7. As Hamilton said: “60 points down, man.”

      ive never scored more than 7 points lol

    9. Equalled my best score of this season with 17 points, which puts me in 60th. Definitely no complaining this week :)

    10. This is not intended as criticism, only my opinion while trying to help: you should include the actual race results and pole time along with the winners’ predictions, so it’s easier to compare. It would also be nice if the predicted pole times displayed the gap to the actual pole time. While you’re at it, the table cells with the driver names could be color-coded, something like green for a hit and red for a miss. Oh, and right-align the column headers. Sorry, I’m used to designing interfaces, and I get carried away ;)

    11. Sebastian Vettel messed up my pole prediction with his blistering lap in FP3. Normally, drivers leave quite a bit on the table (or in the tank, more specifically) in free practice, but Vettel did about the same lap times in FP3 and Q3. So, I changed my pole prediction from Hamilton to Vettel, shame on me ;-)
