Welcome to the 16th round of Guess the Anti-Podium 2017 (formerly known as Last Place Guessing)!
Pick the Anti-Podium, as in the last 3 drivers who are classified finishers. That would be 20th, 19th and 18th in a race with no retirements.
Ground rules are simple:
- Changed in 2017: the entry format changes to driver1/driver2/driver3, with driver1 being the last classified finisher of the race.
- Added after Australia 2017: should a driver be replaced before the deadline, the replacement will not apply automaticaly in your guesses. So keep an eye on what's going on. Should a driver be replaced after the deadline, I will update all the guesses with the replacement.
- Scoring for each team is determined by the list below.
- Retirements and disqualifications do not count, driver must be classified (which includes the 90% classification rule).
- Guess the correct driver in the correct order and your score for that driver is multiplied by 2
- Guess one of the bottom three correctly, but in the incorrect order, and the score for the driver remains the same
- Changed in 2017: The number of correct guesses is not added to your points. However, the number of correct guesses over the season will be used in case of a tie. In case there is also a tie, the number of wins is taken into acount. This is to try and make sure the most accurate guesser is the champion.
Drivers base points are the same as after the 2017 Singaporean Grand Prix:
Mercedes = 10 Ferrari = 9 Red Bull-TAG Heuer = 8 Force India-Mercedes = 7 Williams-Mercedes = 6 Toro Rosso-Renault = 5 Renault = 4 Haas-Ferrari = 3 McLaren-Honda = 2 Sauber-Ferrari = 1
This will be updated whenever there is a change in the WCC standings as published by the FIA. The team in the bottom of the standings is worth 1 point.
Example:
You guess...
Massa/Ocon/Ericsson
That means Massa is the last classified finisher.
Race result is...
Massa/Ericsson/Wehrlein
Therefore your score is calculated as:
- Massa: 6 x 2 = 12 points
- Ocon: 0 points (not in anti-podium)
- Ericsson: 2 x 1 = 2 points (in anti-podium, but incorrect order)
Total score: 14 points
The deadline for your guesses is the start of the qualifying.
