Welcome to the new season of formula one.
Bahrain kicks off the season this year.
Those familliar know the routine, all predictions to be in before the start of Saturday qualifying please.
Those who are new to the game, you get 10 points if you select the correct driver in the correct place, you get 5 points if you get the correct driver but in the wrong place.
The competition will be, decided by predicting the podium positions as was used last year, and if you correctly predict the front row for the start of the race you will earn an extra 5 points.

As an addition to the above, you can edit any early predictions before qualifying as you see fit, but as soon as qualifying starts they're locked... and that's it!

This will more than likely change, and is based on a lot of speculation and preseason interviews.
1. Hamilton
2. Massa
3. Vettel

I'm not sure you understand lads...
Pick the top 3 on the PODIUM only, ie the race positions. If the qualifying finishes the same as your race predictions you pick up a bonus of 5 points.
Making 2 different selections for qualifying and the race will only complicate things.
Over to you Craig...

I didn't think that the top three qualifiers usually finish in that order that often, that's why I had two sets of picks.
This should make that 5 point bonus a fairly rare occurrence.

OK, to clarify.
Pick who you think will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
If they line up on the grid in that order you get a 5 point bonus... even if they all crash at the first corner.

Oooooer....
So basically, you predict either the qualifying positions or the race result, and hope it's a boring procession!
Oh well, back into the routine...
1 Button
2 Barrichello
3 Vettel
Oh no, wait a minute, it's not 2009 anymore!
1) Hamilton
2) Button
3) De La Rosa

I thought it was pick the front row for quali.
To clear it up. Why not go with that? gives the chance for more points if your behind??
Pick positions 1 and 2 "only" for qualy and you get 5 bonus points.
Is that ok?

Rob has got it ........... and yes it will be a rarity ....... especially if you have to take into account grid penalties held over from the previous race. However I think this season it will be less of a rarity because of the lack of refuling. Hence the reason I suggested it
Ergo ....... if you get the 123 for both quali and the race it's 35 points ....... if you only get the 123 for quali it's 5 points ....... etc.

Whatever you think Craig, you'll be doing the scoring! I personally think it will complicate things. I think eno was suggesting what I said, make your race predictions and if you "happen" to get it right for quali you score a 5 point bonus.
EDIT: We must have been replying at the same time Andy..

It's all so clear now.
That will make the bonus a little more special when it does occur.

See I actually thought Eno meant the way I suggested it. The way I see it, as the season runs on we all tend to start selecting the same drivers, as the grid tends stabilise and the results are generally predictable.
With this new low fuel quali it really will be the best cars at the front, so I figured, it would give people a chance to make up points where they usually wouldn't be able to without taking a big risk with predictions.
End of the day its what the masses want. I am not too fussed either way. This is why I started the topic 2 weeks early
