An interesting round in Belgium and congratulations to my wife on a third win of the season.
It was a draw for points with me, the winning score being 94, but she takes the victory courtesy of the most correct placings on countback - Hamilton - Verstappen - Bottas, the predicted top 3, but then Ricciardo in 4th, as opposed to my erroneous guess of Pérez.
Her win was despite only 8 of the top 10 drivers being predicted (Gasly and Norris didn't feature, but Sainz and Leclerc did in 9th and 10th). She now moves into second in the title battle.

Analysis
I achieved the full house of top 10 drivers, with 3 (Hamilton. Norris and Gasly) in the correct finishing positions.
smellysocks got the most in their correct finishing positions - the top 3 of Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen, and Albon.
Only wolfhound and gert did not predict the exact qualifying order of Hamilto, Bottas, Verstappen.
Extra 2-point scores were low this round - nobody got Ricciardo's fastest lap, nor Williams's first fastest lap. Only crmalcolm, who is placing predictions the same as the correct results of the last round this season, got the dry weather right.
Nobody anticipated Gasly's driver poll successes, and only smellysocks predicted the race a 6 and Born Racer Fan that Renault would be the team of the Grand Prix.
