I keep thinking I picked Leclerc.

It feels like it is a much tighter 5AF championship this year than in the previous goes we've had. And not just at the top, but through the whole field.

This is like our third season doing this, right? I don't think we've ever had a race with two no-loads.

I forgot I had 5 drivers. Was trying to figure out (before looking) how I was going to end up with 0 since Hamilton didn't make points.

This is like our third season doing this, right? I don't think we've ever had a race with two no-loads.

Correct. There was only a single zero score in each of the prior two years. Gaucho had a zero in 2018, and MR25 had a zero in 2017.

Shyster may just win this on the gamble that Honda's engines weren't as craptastic as they looked.

It helps that we seem to have returned to the days where 'Scuderia' is Italian for 'clownshoes'.

I'm not sure where exactly Honda is in relation to the other engines, but I certainly think Red Bull is not any worse off than they would be if they had stayed with Renault. Not only is Red Bull doing pretty well, but Toro Rosso has more points than the factory Renault team.
I'm not sure we really have a dominant engine this year. For example, sure, Mercedes is killing it at the top of the field, but the Mercedes power units in the Racing Points don't seem to be giving them any particular power advantage when it comes to the teams in the midpack (and they certainly aren't powering the Williams cars out of the dumpster).
