N.B.: I am not offering to score this, I'm not sure i can remember all the categories, let alone the scoring system. I just want to try and get a few more predictions in...

I'm hoping, of course, that we can get the main forum up again, but in the meantime...

2020 "I was really hoping we could avoid Soulless Sochi" Grand Prix

1) Hamilton
2) Bottas
3) Verstappen
4) Ricciardo
5) Norris
6) Albon
7) Sainz
Ocon
9) Leclerc
10) Gasly

Pole: Hamilton
Fastest Lap: Verstappen
First Retirement: Grosjean
ROTR: Russia for insisting on fans despite their COVID rates
IIDOTR: Ricciardo
DBTMOTR: Ocon
SCs: 0

I was wondering if you'd do this as promised! Heh. Now, seeing as I have no record of the same line-up of drivers I said I'd use for the entire season, I'm going to make a new one, which is guaranteed to be a lot more correct than the last one was.

1. Hamilton, again
2. Bottas, again
3. Verstappen, again
4-10. Who cares, really? These three above are pretty much set in stone, that's where all the points are, and I don't care how much Pierre Gasly might want to argue with that. Besides, I'm busy preparing to be the host for next year's comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition and it's not a trivial job!

Oh, all right then...

4. Ricciardo
5. Stroll (yes, really)
6. Albon
7. Pérez
8. Leclerc
9. Gasly
10. Er... let's see... none of the bottom three teams... Ocon.

Pole: the man who thinks he's Malcolm X
Fastest lap: yes, him again
First retirement: Frank Williams
ROTR: whoever's behind the demise of GPR - oh, and the Chinese Communist Party, and Saudi Arabia
IIDOTR: Pierre Gasly, two races ago
DMTMOTR: whoever's the next driver to be replaced
SCs: a lone 40-year-old Lada puttering around the track after getting lost on the way from Vladikavkaz

The 2020 f1 is back to the normal routine GP

1) Hamilton
2) Bottas
3) Verstappen

4)-Like dinizouttheoven said does anyone really care. We all know who is going to win and the top 3 etc etc. Anyway

4) Albon (yes its going to be that sort of race)
5) Sainz
6) Norris
7) LeClerc
Stroll
9) Perez
10) Riccardo

Pole: Bottas (who then bottles it on lap 1 and lets hamilton through )
Fastest Lap- Hamilton (who then says that was for the fans or something dumb like that)
First Retirement- Both Haas cars who drive into each other. Cementing both futures
ROTR- Haas for 1 the above and 2 for announcing on the Sunday that they are retaining both drivers for 2021 (I am trying to curse this as much as possible)
IIDOTR- Giovinazzi finishing ahead of Kimi
DMTMOTR- Vettel.
Safety Cars- 0.
