F1 Predicta: Round 7 - CANADA

[Panda]

It's time for Round 7 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
Qualifying
First retirement
Fastest lap
Safety car

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. 35 points)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

No positions required for this one, just predict the drivers you think will finish in the top 10 (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 between 4th and 10th, 1 point for each one that finishes in the top 3.

POLE POSITION (Max. 10 points)
Simply predict which driver will start on pole. 10 points if you're right, 5 points if your driver is 2nd on the grid and 1 point if they are 3rd or 4th.

DRIVERS ELIMINATED IN QUALIFYING 2 (Max. 7 points)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Here you predict the drivers to be eliminated after the second session of qualifying (note: not necessarily positions 11-17 on the grid as penalties can affect grid positions). 1 point for each you get right.


FIRST RETIREMENT (5 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. 5 points if you're right.

FASTEST LAP OF RACE (5 points)
Predict which driver will set the fastest lap time during the race.

SAFETY CAR GAMBLE (Max. 10 points)
For the Safety Car Gamble, you simply have to state "yes" or "no" based on whether you think the safety car will be deployed at any point during the race. If you predict yes, you will score 10 points if the safety car comes out but will LOSE 10 if it doesn't. If you predict no, you will not gain or lose any points, regardless of whether the safety car comes out or not.

All that adds up to a maximum of 102 points for each GP weekend.

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

All predictions must be made before the start of Saturday's Free Practice. You MAY NOT change your predictions after you have made them.
