• Every player will submit a list of predictions before the qualifying of each race, these can be either sent via the form on the website or text direct to me via Whatsapp. (this will then show the time that its sent, this makes it fair for all players).
  • Deadline for predictions will be:

Normal races – Friday night at 10pm regardless of which race it is. This means some race weekends the predictions are due before practice 3 and some are due after.
(The routine of a set time makes it harder to forget when they are due.)

Sprint races – We are not taking part in the sprint races this year.

A reminder will go out Friday morning of predictions day,

PLEASE NOTE: Lateness will not be tolerated this year

At 10pm Friday of the race weekend, the form will be replaced with the next race venue,
If i receive the predictions with the next race on I know its late and the Pole sitter will be excluded, you will also incur a 10 race point penalty
If you fail to submit by Friday Midnight your prediction will show as the previous weeks but your score will equal with the lowest scorer of that week.

  • Again, any player submitting their predictions after the deadline will not have the Pole sitter counted and a 10 race point penalty will be imposed.
  • Anyone not entering their predictions at all will be scored equal to the lowest scorer of the week. (your previous weeks prediction will still be displayed but not counted)
  • PoleSitter:
  • Each player will predict the pole sitter for the Sunday race, if a driver gets pole and faces a penalty which takes him off the pole position the points go to the driver which then starts the race in Pole position.
    10 points
  • Predictions:
  • The first 6 drivers are predicted, 15 points are awarded for each correct driver position predicted, 5 points are awarded for each correct driver in the wrong position (top 6 positions only). (i.e. if you predict Alonso for 3rd and he comes in 6th, 5 points will be awarded)
  • Faster Lap:
  • Predict the Driver with the fastest Lap time, = 10 points
  • DNF:
  • How many driver DNF’s = 10 points (this is the record as the FIA states on their website).
    For a driver to have a DNF he must first start the race.
    A DSQ is not counted as a DNF
  • DRS:
  • DRS: you have two chances to use your DRS throughout the whole season, when used your race points for that race will double.
    DRS is not activate until round 6 – The Miami Gand Prix.
    This year your bonus driver will be included in the DRS.
  • I will aim to post the scores as soon as possible after I’ve watched the race myself, however there will be times when the scores will be posted and then will need amending, this will depend if the drivers have behaved themselves or not and need to wait for stewards decision on anything, lol. Any changes from the FIA after midnight on Sunday will not be corrected.
  • The aim is to have all the predictions online before the start of qualifying, once the deadline has passed they will be displayed for everyone to view.
  • The results will be taken from the FIA website I will aim to upload the results on the day of the Race, some weekends a race may not be watched until the Monday so i am unable to process the scores. You will be informed via the WhatsApp and they will be uploaded at the earliest opportunity.

The Bonus Driver

At the end of the race when the points are added up, your bonus driver for the following week will be the driver equal to your finishing position. i.e. If you’re the 4th top point scorer of the week your bonus driver will be the driver that finished 4th that week. you will earn points from that driver depending where he finishes the following race,
For Example, If Hulkenberg was your Bonus driver and the following race he finishes 16th you will earn 16 bonus points for that week.
Any driver that has a DNF classification will get a 20 point bonus. any driver that has a DSQ will receive 0 Points.
Bonus Drivers are now included in the DRS.

The Point System

This year the points will be added from the predictions form then converted into The GP point system. i.e. I will add the above points to get your total race points. This will be then placed in numerical order for the week and only the top 10 players will get points using the F1 driver point system. 

  • 1st = 25 points
  • 2nd = 18 points
  • 3rd = 15 points
  • 4th = 12 points
  • 5th = 10 points
  • 6th = 8 points
  • 7th = 6 points
  • 8th = 4 Points
  • 9th = 2 points
  • 10th = 1 Point
  • 11th position onwards will receive 0 Points for this race

ALL RESULTS WILL BE WHATS RECORDED AT THE FIA
