Spanish Grand Prix - Predictions Contest 2020 - Round 6 - Results

Congratulations to Born Racer Fan on her second win of the season and on becoming the first repeat winner this season. There was a tie at the top on points between her, myself and wolfhound. Points are awarded on countback and I had predicted Verstappen to win. Her and wolfhound had both predicted Hamilton to win, but she had predicted the next correct finishing position - Verstappen in 2nd.

Analysis

Of the 7 entries, only 3 (smellysocks, wolfhound and Born Racer Fan) picked Hamilton as race winner. All of those, plus myself, predicted the exact top 3 qualifying order.

A lot more drivers were predicted in their correct position this round than last round - 14 in total out of 70 top 10 predictions. Born Racer Fan got the highest total, with 4, but despite getting only 67 points, gert got 3. Unfortunately, he picked 4 drivers not in the top 10, the highest total for that this time.

Unsurprisingly, nobody predicted Vettel's Driver of the Day win, but perhaps more unanticipated was that nobody got Driver of the Grand Prix (Hamilton), Team of the Grand Prix (Racing Point) or Rate the Grand Prix (a 2 - so that's not a shock).
