Sorted - Only change I didn't mention as a result is that Fire & Ice have taken 3rd from Force Indian Takeaway.

Since I am occupied by my work, an early prediction.

Circuit of the Americas, United States of America:

1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Nico Rosberg
3. Valtteri Bottas

Edit: Since the Ferrari's will both receive grid penalties, I've altered my prediction (in time for the deadline).

Bah. I am getting frustrated with the lack of variety of true contenders.

COTA.

1 Hammy
2 Nico
3 Vettel

I was so much better at this when I was just predicting the below, so I'm reverting back to that for America:

1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Vettel

I'm going to be very boring and predict as follows:

America

1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Vettel

I am so very tempted to change my prediction to Hamilton - Rosberg - Williams (not sure which, probably Bottas) now that Vettel has the ten place grid drop, but whenever I do that it backfires horribly. So I'll leave it as it is...

Actually, screw that! My updated prediction:

1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Massa

Well, well - the grid drop for our usual #3 boy and the prospect of rain has certainly mixed this up. Would I be correct in guessing these may be the most varied predictions all year?

I would say "yes"

I hate risking Bottas for P3 in the wet, but then again what good is a competition without a bit of risk. Bring it!!!

My post from Silverstone sums up my feelings for this one again


Congratulations Hamilton, and congratulations to the status quo!

So all we need to keep F1 exciting is a monsoon, the 2nd best car on pole, best car chasing and a wild pony coming from the back. Best race of the year.

After I made my last minute switch to put Bottas in P3 if felt a sense of dread that lasted right up until the race started and then it got worse. Then Bottas retired and I was out of my mysery. LOL. Bloody hell what a dumb time for me to do that.

Loved the race though, some real action. Even with the old 123 at the end.

I will update this tomorrow before all the Mexico action starts

I'm busy this week so sending predictions early.

CarlPotter's Top Three Championship 2015: USA



http://www.prodijee.com/lewis-hamilton-clinches-his-third-world-drivers-championship/

Well that's that then. Lewis Hamilton is now officially the world champion of 2015 and what better backdrop is there than a hurricane when winning your third WDC?

After a hectic race (my personal favourite of the season so far) we found ourselves with a familiar sight as Sebastian Vettel took 3rd spot just behind Nico Rosberg who just about manged to hold on to second, but it was Lewis Hamilton who won once again taking his title in style.

So for our championship that meant a decent haul of points. Saz, Mayhem and coulthards chin take the round win correctly guessing a all three drivers and thus earning the bonus for a perfect podium.

Results: USA
1. Saz - 14pts
=. Mayhem - 14pts
=. coulthards chin - 14pts
2. jimmyj - 8pts
=. GPG - 8pts
=. Jenson's Understeer - 8pts
=. Exediron - 8pts
=. Icemanjee1 - 8pts
=. Black_Flag_11 - 8pts
=. Peter2673 - 8pts
3. mcdo - 6pts
4. cm97 - 0pts
=. robins13 - 0pts
=. Fountoukos13 - 0pts
=. Bentrovato - 0pts
=. Herb - 0pts
=. dislexik - 0pts
=. pubpokerplayer - 0pts
=. fatsi - 0pts
=. 78aj - 0pts
=. Lotus49 - 0pts











CarlPotter's Top Three Championship 2015: Singles Standings
1. jimmyj - 96pts
2. GPG - 90pts
3. Saz - 86pts
4. Jenson's Understeer - 74pts (3 Perfect podiums, 4 Round wins)
5. Mayhem - 74pts (3 Perfect podiums, 4 Round wins)
6. Exediron - 73pts
7. coulthards chin - 69pts
8. mcdo - 63pts
9. cm97 - 61pts
10. Icemanjee1 - 58pts
11. robins13 - 51pts
12. Fountoukos13 - 46pts

18. pubpokerplayer - 22pts
19. fatsi - 9pts
20. 78aj - 8pts
21. Lotus49 - 8pts



The F1 championship may be decided but ours is anything but, with the top 3 covered by just 10 points with 3 rounds to go.


CarlPotter's Top Three Championship 2015: Constructors' Standings
1. F1 Mayhem (jimmyj & Mayhem) - 170pts
2. No Limit Excedrin Racing - (Exediron & GPG) - 157pts
3. Force Indian Takeaway - (coulthards chin & Jenson's Understeer) - 143pts
4. Fire & Ice (robins13 & Saz) - 137pts
5. Multi21 (cm97 & Icemanjee1) - 119pts
6. My Heart Will Grosjean - (Black_Flag_11 & Fountoukos13) - 89pts
7. McLotus (Lotus49 & mcdo) - 71pts (1 Perfect podium, 4 Round wins)
8. Team 4 (Bentrovato & dizlexik) - 65pts (1 Perfect podium, 5 Round wins)



In the teams standings Force Indian Takeaway take back 3rd place from Fire & Ice. That place seems to change every race!





Next up is Mexico this weekend. Can anyone stop Lewis Hamilton? Can Sergio Perez equal his performance from Russia and finish on the podium at his first home GP?

Mexico
1. Vettel
2. Rosberg
3. Raikkonen

Hamilton is due a DNF before the end of the season surely?

Mexico
