Let's see if there's enough players to make this a regular thing.
In this game, you predict on various parts of a Grand Prix weekend and receive points depending on how right you are.
We will be predicting on the following:
Top 3 finishers
Points finishers
Pole Position
Drivers eliminated in Qualifying 1
First retirement
Fastest driver on Friday
Slowest driver on Friday
Here's how the scoring works:
TOP 3 FINISHERS (Max. 30 points)
You predict the top 3 in the race in order:
1.
2.
3.
You score 10 points for each you get spot on, 5 if the position is wrong but they're in the top 3, and 1 if they finish in the points but outside the top 3.
POINTS FINISHERS (Max. 25 points)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
No positions required for this one, just predict the 5 drivers you think will fill the remaining points positions (note: you can't pick a driver you already picked to finish in the top 3). You get 5 points for each one that finishes in the top 8.
POLE POSITION (10 points)
Simply predict which driver will start on pole. 10 points if you're right.
DRIVERS ELIMINATED IN QUALIFYING 1 (Max. 6 points)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Here you predict which drivers will be eliminated after the first session of qualifying (note: not necessarily the last 6 on the grid as penalties can affect grid positions). 1 point for each you get right.
FIRST RETIREMENT (10 points)
Here you predict which driver will be the first to retire from the race on Sunday. If more than one driver retires at the same time, each driver will score points. 10 points if you're right.
FASTEST LAP OF RACE (10 points)
Predict which driver will set the fastest lap time during the race.
FASTEST DRIVER ON FRIDAY (10 points)
Predict which driver will set the fastest time during Friday's practice sessions.
SLOWEST DRIVER ON FRIDAY (10 points)
Predict which driver will be bottom of the timesheet following Friday's practice sessions.
All that adds up to a maximum of 111 points for each GP weekend.
Good luck. If you have any questions, please ask.
To score points for each session you must predict before that session starts, so to score points for Friday practice, you must predict before the first session starts. To score points for qualifying questions, you must predict before qualifying starts and to score points for the race, you must predict before the start of the race.
Here is a template you can use to make your predictions:
TOP 3 FINISHERS
1.
2.
3.
POINTS FINISHERS
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
POLE POSITION
1.
ELIMINATED IN QUALIFYING 1

2.
3.

Raikkonen was fastest today so no points awarded but Mark and myself both get 10 for Davidson being slowest.

FIRST RETIREMENT 1. Nakajima I remember when his dad used to race 20 years ago and whenever he retired, there'd be a shout of "Nakajima's knackered!" ringing through our house... |

4 points for everyone in qualifying.
Still a possible 85 points up for grabs in the race for anyone who still wants to take part...

Not much in it. Fisichella and Vettel were the first retirements and Kovalainen had the fastest lap.
Thanks to all who played. I'll do another for Malaysia but without the Friday categories, I think.
