Yes, it's that time of year again Cool

Next weekend the F1 season kicks off in Melbourne, with a whole new level playing field due to banning driver aids, but no doubt the same front runners as ever.

Most of you know the score, but any newcomers who fancy a crack at taking Craig's title from him can start here.

The rules are as follows:

Before every race, on the Monday before the race, I'll start a thread asking for your predictions on the podium places (1st, 2nd and 3rd).

Points are scored thus:

Correct driver in the correct position= 10 points
Correct driver in the wrong position= 5 points.

Example prediction..

1. Raikkonen
2. Hamilton
3. Rosberg

If the finishing position is Raikkonen, Rosberg, Hamilton you get 10 points for Raikkonen (correct position and driver) and 5 points each for for Hamilton and Rosberg (correct driver, wrong position). Total of 20 points.

Entries MUST be in 1 hour before qualifying on the Saturday, this is to stop unfair advantages gained by knowing the qualifying positions as last year certain members (you know who you are) were predicting 10 minutes before the grid formed.....

Sounds easy? NOBODY last year got a perfect 30 points.. Wink

Hopefully I'll have an excel sheet ready by Sunday night after the race and I'll grab a screenie and post it with the results and running totals.

Register your interest here

Cheers lads.

It's that most wonderful time of the year!!!!

Looking forward to this again, although I have a horrible feeling the same 3 names maybe 4 will be seen week in and week out, it'll just be a case of getting the order right. That'll take a few races to figure out the cars strengths and weakness'

Oh sh*t, not this again. All it leads to is me being angry.

Soooooooo...

If I said:

1: Hamilton
2: Hamilton
3: Hamilton

and Hamilton finished in the top 3, would I then get 20pts? Wink
