THE RULES:

It consists in guessing the three firsts (podium positions) in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. Schu-Hami-Alon) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:

Suppose you do the guess schu-hami-alon

If Schu is 1st, 3 points
if Schu is 2nd, 2 points
if Schu is 3rd, 1 point

If Hami is 1st, 2 points
if Hami is 2nd, 2 points
if Hami is 3rd, 1 point

If Alon is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point

It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.

The max score per round = 6 points

Points will be awarded as per the drivers who celebrate the official podium ceremony after the race, with no subsequent protests or exclusions taken into account.



***ALL GUESSES TO BE POSTED BY FIRST PRACTICE FRIDAY OF RACE WEEKEND (in keeping with the other games) LATE GUESSES WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE ROUND.***




Ties in general classification are resolved favouring who is "best" classified in the previous classification.


Our two intrepid 'Bot' players return with a new team mate for BERNIE - enter JEAN! , BERNIE guesses the podium finishers from the last round and JEAN guesses the leading three drivers in the championship.
