GRIF 2011 F1 Prediction Game

Hi everybody! :wave:

Here are some simple rules:
  • Predict the top 10 positions in the results of each grand prix.
  • No need to sign up, Just send me your top 10 (i.e. 1st - Vettel, 2nd - Alonso, 3rd - Hamilton...) you can do so by either posting your prediction in this thread, or preferably by sending a PM to me here if you want to keep it secret. :shhh:
  • If you post more than 10 names, i will only take the top 10 in your list, and if you post less, you wont get so many points. I will also take them in the order you write them! you can not use the same name more than once.
  • Do not edit your post, edited posts will be ignored unless you make a mistake (only 9 names for instance) or a driver has pulled out and i inform you that you can make the change. However, it is your responsiblity, so if you notice a mistake you made, create a new post for the correction.
  • Predictions can be made at any time.However I will not accept predictions made between the start of the 1st part of the qualifying session and the completion of the race!
  • You will get 3 points for getting a predicition spot on, and 1 point if you are one position out, so there is a maximum of 30 points available per race. I will post the results after each GP along with the running Tally for the championship.
  • In the case of a tie in the championship standings, positions will be decided on the number of spot-on predictions, then by the number of spot-on first places, then 2nd and so on
It's pretty simple, any questions just ask.

here is a list of all the names (in alphabetical order):
Alguersuari
Alonso
Barrichello
Buemi
Button
D'Ambrosio
Di Resta
Glock
Hamilton
Karthikeyen
Kobayashi
Kovalainen
Liuzzi
Maldonado
Massa
Perez
Petrov
Rosberg
Schumacher
Senna
Sutil
Trulli
Vettel
Webber
Cheers, BBA! :cflag:

Can we name the same driver twice

i.e.

1. d'Ambrosio
2. Karthikeyan
3. Trulli
4. d'Ambrosio

Therefore if d'Ambrosio comes 2nd or 3rd in that example you can still pick up 1 point (obviously therefore givin up the chance of other points with those positions)
Hannu, who art in Finland, Räbinä be thy name. Sim racers come, races are won, at Agari, as at Xupong. Give us this day our version 1.06, and forgive us all our impatience, as we race those who challenge against us. Lead us not into boredom, but deliver us from work. For thine is the GeneRally, and the AI, and the race cars. Amen!

My prediction:
1. S Vettel
2. F Alonso
3. M Webber
4. M Schumacher
5. L Hamilton
6. J Button
7. F Massa
8. N Rosberg
9. K Kobayashi
10. N Heidfeld

My reasons:
Schumacher has won the most test sessions so he should do good.
Massa has significantly declined since Australia 2009.
Sauber significantly increased its' reliability during 2010.

I am going to say no, as it makes it easier for me to track scoring. So its added to the rules! :D

I'm gonna say this:

1. S.Vettel (Just fast)
2. F.Alonso (Can't do it aswell as Vettel)
3. M.Schumacher (Welcome back to podium :clap: )
4. N.Rosberg (Can't believe this, but old man beat him :eyes: )
5. L.Hamilton (Amazing perfomance with slow car)
6. N.Heidfeld (Good car, normal driving)
7. J.Button (Slow and sure driving, not too slow)
8. F.Massa (Can't find old motivation = losing speed)
9. J.Alguersuari (Toro Rosso power)
10. S.Buemi (Toro Rosso power p.2!)


Webber - Motor breaks down from 3rd position
Kovalainen with amazing 13th position!
Hispania makes most TV-time! Believe me!
Virgin driving alone
Williams can't finish race
Petrov making donuts!
Force India 11th & 12th :(


Don't take it too serious!
