JEV is the first driver to beat someone! Quite impressive considering that dodgy pit release.

EXPLANATIONS:
Expect: Expectation fulfillment. The driver's current points score as a percentage of the average points placed on him (not rounded off to integer points)
Surprise: The driver's points score as a percentage of the maximum points placed on him plus one. When this number is reached, the driver has achieved a 100% surprise, by beating the highest expectations on him for this season.
Beat: How many players' expectations the driver has managed to beat. The maximum amount is the number of entrants for the season; for 2012 this is 28.

I think that too low guesses on these guys may prove costly in the end...

Estwald is unlikely to remain the only one to underestimate Vergne.


The PTPC forecast
Will appear after the Spanish GP.


Old numbers
A historical look at how many points out of all placed it took to win each year:

Year WDC Game Winner
AD Points Win % (Players)
2000 442 365 82.58 jack and gilles (14)
2001 442 364 82.35 MrT, tacololo (69)
2002 442 376 85.07 smarty (46)
2003 624 537 86.06 arcsine (41)
2004 702 554 78.98 Pioneer (48)
2005 741 595 80.30 KWSN - DSM (49)
2006 702 592 84.33 an1res (47)
2007 663 563 84.92 turin (40)
2008 702 597 85.04 AcuraF1 (39)
2009 731 518 70.86 D82 (29)
2010 1919 1674 87.23 Costaz (34)
2011 1919 1664 86.71 Crazy Canuck (25)
2012 2020 1706 84.46 Costaz (28)
*Somewhere around 85% seems typical, the new points system seems to make it easier to get a high percentage right.
*2009 stands out as an unpredictable season, no doubt because of the Brawns.
*2004 was tricky too, Ferrari utter dominance being the culprit along with a surprisingly strong Honda.
*2003 being an unusually close season actually gave a relatively high scoring percentage, indicating that entries often tend to have "smoothed out" points differences between teams so that they look more like 2003 WDCs than 2004 ones.
*Number of players in decline; my usual nagging for more entrants has shifted focus towards Shareholders since 2008.

Think I'm in a good position to do well this year, with big guesses for Vettel Kimi and Alonso as my top 3, as well as low guesses for McLaren, but would like more showings like Melbourne for Lotus, and may have underestimated the #2s Mark Webber and Felipe Massa. Could've done with switching some points from the Williams to the Force Indias too. I'm looking set to be caught out by Vergne soon as well, but that isn't worrying me much, as I don't believe there's much of a gain or a loss to be had there.

I have the best score ever (2020 in 2012) and the highest average too (87.23 in 2010) :cool:.

Looking at all the winners, these are some pretty good averages for before-the-season-starts guesses, we are not bad, are we.

As for 2013, I clearly overestimated Perez (though not as bad as Brawn BGP 001 :p), but the season is long, you never know...

Good luck to all :wave:

Oh dear, might break the record for the worst score. Highest guesses for Williams, Perez. Lowest for Kimi. Vettel, 2nd lowest for Webber. :p :eek: :cry:

Leading guess the pole but right near the bottom in the rest of the competitions. :blush: :rotfl:

I would also really wish for Williams to turn it around.

I'm still hopeful that my Mclaren guesses might not end up that much far off if they can just keep on improving.

It's still really hard to predict how it's going to shape up anyway, so I won't go into what I wish I had done differently, and I think I have a decent shot of doing well here anyway. I think my prediction was the second closest to the average, and I think the average prediction might prove out to be a pretty good one.
