I was happy to break the 1K mark this round (just), but a lack of cash means I'm unlikely to ever get near the top placing teams. Well done to all those at the pointy end. I did cost myself some points by punting on Bottas C as a POD, but even so, I was still off the pace by 100+ points.

1034 for me, up 3 places to 43. Would almost have preferred the pre-rain carnage to the post-rain carnage!

My POD was to bring in Leclerc and a Ferrari and back them to scythe through the field, and it just about worked (and Sainz's good result made the car at least not a disaster). In the end the original plan of keeping Norris/McLaren was far superior. Haven't been able to make a right call on McLaren or Ferrari all year!

993, easily my best score.
Got a bit of ranking boost, but still wallowing around the 660 mark.

Looks like Norris/Ricci/McLaren might make some coin next race.

Hamilton grid penalty makes Max a pretty obvious C here

Although Max (144) outscored Lewis (136) after taking a penalty last race.
Might be some extra points for coming through the field.

Only a grid penalty of 10 places at this point so won't rack up those extra overtake points that Max did

It's wet for FP3 and Sky reckon qualifying will be too...

POD captaincy on Bottas with Lewis qualifying no better than 11th and Max seemingly struggling?

Don't tempt me!

Key risk for me is Mercs look far enough ahead of RB that Lewis probably gets past Max in the race. If he does that, hard to see Bottas not letting him through for P1.

After his race here last year you couldn't pay me enough!

 

[mike89]

All in on the Red Bulls!

Max (C) Lewis Perez Sainz
RB x2 Merc Ferrari

 

[XabiFernando]

Just one trade for me, Perez to Leclerc.

Did heavily flirt with Hamilton to Bottas but chickened out @Wolffy84

 

[mike89]

Schumi through Q1!

I thought about this but bottled it. Oh well

Also, I've only just realised that we're in a NFL draft league together haha. Small world

Ricciardo starting from the back of the grid after deciding to take a new Power Unit.

Please tell me you did this!

Well I guess it's only fair I eat humble pie on this one! Flawless drive in tricky conditions.

Could've done with Sainz holding the fastest lap!

I went a round early on the Bottas C. Have Alonso and a McLaren in my team too, so it wouldn't have helped much, still was going to be off the pace.
