F1 Predicta! Round 16: JAPAN

[Panda]

It's time for round 16 of F1 Predicta!



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 lap

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. 5 points)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


Here you predict which drivers will be eliminated after the first session of qualifying (note: not necessarily the last 4 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.

All that adds up to a maximum of 90 points for each GP weekend.

Good luck. If you have any questions, please ask.

All predictions must be made before the start of qualifying.
