It consists in guessing the three firsts in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. MS-JPM-RS) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:
Suppose you do the guess MS-JPM-RS.
If MS is 1st, 3 points
if MS is 2nd, 2 points
if MS is 3rd, 1 point
If JPM is 1st, 2 points
if JPM is 2nd, 2 points
if JPM is 3rd, 1 point
If RS is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point
It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.
The key for this system is not "gambling" on the exact position but to do a realistic shot at the relative merit of each driver in that GP. For instance, you are not penalized for JPM being first and not 2nd, as the penalty comes by not scoring with MS's first position.
In order to have a reference I will enter two "dummy" players: Bernie and Max (the names were chosen randomly ). Bernie always guesses the firsts three qualifyers, and Max always guesses the firsts three classified in WDC current points table. Can you outscore B&M?
Any guess can be done before one hour before the official first start of the race. We will use the "official" Atlas Forum clock to resolve close entries.
In Brazil we had one perfect score (6 points) by fisichella_2001, can you equal it?

Guess you could isolate this from "guess the result"-game...

I now know first hand what thing is "whining" and putting excuses
But ... I'll come back! (McArthur? Hakkinen? Diniz?)
Just remind Max's guess is MSH-RS-JPM (three first in WDC). It seems nobody has done this guess yet.
Greetings everyone

In comparison with Brazil, people has cooled about Juan Pablo, and Ralf and Barri get a bit vindicated. Same as for Brazil, people generally doesn't see Macs as winners but certainly as podiums. Teams wise, Ferrari has overtaken Williams and Macs go on in a distant third position.
I remind that guesses can be put until one hour before the first official starting of the race.
