I HATE Bottas. Had top 6 correct with him leading. He is a blackhole of "luck"...finally gets his elbows out at the start, then a poor lockup but still a good chance of an undercut only to see his freaking MGU-H fail.
As far as Stroll/Hulk...I can leave it up to the group. Arsenal, Jayswin, and Speede5 all picked Stroll. It has an impact on the standings as Jayswin would go from +2 to +7 in the race for 2nd. Personally I would say no to it counting. We pick the drivers not cars, there's always a chance someone gets hurt in qualy, and we have a Friday midnight cutoff to spice things up. I also think had we known Stroll was out that would affect where you may pick Hulk. I should also look at British GP and when Perez got sick (think it was a day or two before though). Plus Stroll is garbage and should never be picked
I've left the standings as is (no replacement points; TBD)...happy to go with what the group thinks. 2020...the year of Covid and squirts...
Cecil would win the prize from Speede5 (thanks again!!!) with the best week at 19pts + 3 correct picks. This is assuming no replacement points...if we decide to include Hulk then Cecil + Jayswin are tied.
Spoiler!

Like I said, I'm good with whatever everyone else wants. Two minds: Would have I have changed my predictions knowing Stroll was out? Yes. But that could have affected me positively or negatively.
Would I have picked Hulk in 8th if I had known of the driver change before I submitted my picks? Nope. Probably would have had him outside the top 10.
I vote Hulk counts. It’s RP’s fault for not calling him in time to qualify, in which case he wouldn’t have started 20th and probably gets picked where most of us picked stroll.
Even if we may not have picked Hulk, pretty much everyone had a throwaway top 10 pick with stroll and if we’d known he was out, we may have gotten a different position right.
In which case either there’s a tiebreaker or maybe a push?
Unless my math is wrong cecil will get the extra point for stroll being in the top ten and will finish with 20 vs Jays 19 so I think the results don't change with or without Hulk. I think we should count it in place of Stroll due to the lateness of the change but that's JMO.

Hahah. One of my best weeks and I made my picks 1 week early trying to avoid spoilers before catching up on the season. I think this confirms I know absolutely nothing about F1 but am still highly entertained by it!
