H e l l o!

Welcome to F1 Pools 2012!

I've been informed that a brand spanking new F1 season is just around the corner so I figured I'd better get this show on the road. Hop onboard!

If you've been here before, you know how this works. If you haven't, you can find out by clicking THIS THING RIGHT HERE!!! Yes, that. Clickity clickerson! It's a link to an old thread from 2009 but, unlike the FIA, I don't think changing the rules every five minutes is a solid game plan so the rules from 2009 are still valid. I'm easy like that.

For the season opener, I've traditionally based my match-ups on the championship standings from the year before and this season shall be no exception. If we're lucky, the pecking order has changed a bit since 2011 and these aren't as predictable as they may seem. Here's the first set of duels for 2012:

F1 Pools 2012: Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix - Round 1

Qualifying: Race:
1. Red Bull - McLaren 7. Red Bull - McLaren
2. Ferrari - Mercedes 8. Ferrari - Mercedes
3. Lotus - Force India 9. Lotus - Force India

4. Sauber - Toro Rosso 10. Sauber - Toro Rosso
5. Williams - Caterham 11. Williams - Caterham
6. HRT - Marussia 12. HRT - Marussia

Post your guesses before the start of qualifying.

I'm not really picky about the format you choose to use but something along the lines of 'XXX 12X 22X 12X' would be great. But as long as it's clear what you mean, it's OK.

So, guess away! Good luck!
