Rules
- The player scores points for correctly guessing which driver in each team gets the better result both in qualifying and in the race.
- 'No winner' is also considered a valid guess and it will be awarded 3 points if both drivers fail to get a result.
- Since some of the driver pairings tend to be a bit lopsided I added a little twist: Additional points for guessing the difference in position between the drivers.
- Deadline: Start of the first practice session.
- If a team replaces a driver after the competition has started, but before the deadline, the new driver substitutes the original driver in entries which haven't been updated to reflect the change.
- If a team replaces a driver after the deadline, no points will be given for that team.
- All grid position penalties will be ignored.
- Any penalties or disqualifications handed out after the race is over will also be ignored.
Scoring
3 points for guessing the correct winner in qualifying.
3 points for guessing the correct winner in the race.
1 point for each position between the drivers up to the predicted number, provided that:
- The correct driver wins.
- The predicted difference in position is no bigger than the actual difference in position.
- In qualifying: Both drivers record at least one timed lap.
- In the race: Both drivers are classified.
Players who miss a round will be given a score that is 5 points lower than the lowest scoring player of the round.
Example (involving one team only):
Assuming the following guesses:
Player 1: Hamilton 5, Hamilton 6
Player 2: Hamilton 2, Button 3
and the following results:
Qualifying
2. Hamilton
6. Button
Race
1. Hamilton
4. Button
Player 1 gets 3 points for correctly guessing the winner in qualifying and another 3 points the race but no points for the positions because in both cases the predicted margin was too big. Result: 6 points.
Player 2 gets 3 points for correctly guessing the winner in qualifying and another 2 points for the winning margin but no points for the race because he picked the wrong driver. Result: 5 points.
In this example the perfect guess would have been Hamilton 4, Hamilton 3 for a total of 13 points.
