Welcome to round 3 of the Predictions Championship for 2009, as F1 heads back earlier than expected for a Shanghai showdown.
This is how the game is played:
For each GP:
- Each person selects 4 teams, each ranked 1-10 and the total must come to a MINIMUM of 23. Ranking is as follows:
1 - Ferrari
2 - McLaren
3 - BMW
4 - Renault
5 - Toyota
6 - Toro Rosso
7 - Red Bull
8 - Williams
9 - Brawn GP
10 - Force India
- Of those 4 teams, the player chooses one driver from each to score their points for them in the race (I.E. Red Bull, Williams, Brawn GP & Force India, and the player chooses Vettel, Nakajima, Button & Fisichella). Points will be discussed later on.
- Extra points are available for correctly predicting who will have the fastest lap time in practice, the GP and who will hold pole. There are also points for who will be on the podium too. Every driver is available for selection, not just the drivers chosen earlier.
- Players may also select the Best constructor (the team with the best result in the weekend) and the Worst Constructor (the worst overall result).
POINTS
- For each constructor chosen (so both drivers from the 4 teams chosen), points are scored as follows:
1st: +10
2nd: +8
3rd: +6
4th: +5
5th: +4
6th: +3
7th: +2
8th: +1
All other cars running at finishing flag: +0.5
Cars not running at finishing flag: -5
Front row starting position on the grid: +5
- For the 4 drivers chosen, points score as follows:
1st: +10
2nd: +8
3rd: +6
4th: +5
5th: +4
6th: +3
7th: +2
8th: +1
All other cars running at finishing flag: +0.5
- For the 4 drivers chosen, for each position they move up the grid, they score an extra 3 points. E.G. a driver starts 18th and finishes 16th, the driver scores 6 points. No points are lost if they go backwards.
- The last load of points are scored as follows:
Correct Driver for fastest Practice lap: +3 pts
Pole Position: +3 pts.
Fastest race lap: +3 pts.
Podium finish: +3 pts.
OR
Correctly predicted podium place: +5 pts.
If all three in correct predicted places: +5 pts. extra (making 20 in total)
Best Constructor: +5 pts.
Worst Constructor: +5 pts.
Predictions should be made in the way as the example post below:
EXAMPLE POST
TEAMS: Red Bull, Williams, Brawn GP, Force India
DRIVERS: Vettel, Nakajima, Button, Fisichella
FASTEST PRACTICE LAP: Rosberg
POLE POSITION: Piquet
PODIUM: Massa, Kovalainen, Heidfeld
FASTEST RACE LAP: Kubica
BEST CONSTRUCTOR: Ferrari
WORST CONSTRUCTOR: McLaren
