Hello to everyone interested!
I've thought is too late now to make it "official" and counting for this season's game, but just for the sake of entertainment and for those who want to play it just "for free", I open this "non-counting" round now.
I hope next race will be the first one valid for clasification... if I don't mess the time table
I write below the usual rules in case someone want to put the bet for the inminent race.
Good luck and have fun!

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.

Happy to see you again, Ghosty!
And happy to see all the gang again this tear (I hope)!
I see jun has chosen a bold move, maybe it will be the first Big Guess of the year?
I hope this year is non-predictable, but that perfomance by Ferrari in Pole is ominous
