Deadline
:
You must post your predictions
at the latest 1 hour before the start of the
Grand Prix.
How the points are calculated:
The scoring system is the same
as the real championship: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 points,
so with the perfect prediction, you would score a maximum
of 101 points.
The difference is that some of these points are also granted
for drivers you have predicted in the wrong order. This
is explained in more details below. Points
for the fastest lap prediction:
You will get an extra 5 points
if you predict correctly who will time the fastest lap
during the race.
Points for
the driver and constructors' title:
For the first Grand Prix of the
season, you have to also make your prediction on the driver
and constructors' title.
At the end of the season, you get an extra 5 points if
you had predicted correctly who would win the drivers'
title and an extra 5 points if you had predicted correctly
who would win the constructors' title.
Default
predictions:
During the season, you will
receive a maximum of 3 default predictions. A default
prediction represents the points you would have had
if the drivers had finished the race in the same order
as the starting grid. This allows you not to lose too
many points when when you have forgotten to do your
predictions or when you have no access to the Internet.
Jokers:
Each player
can play 3 jokers. Each joker played will double the
points granted for the race. If you were granted a 5
point bonus for the fastest lap, these 2 points will
also be doubled. When you are on the Predictions page,
a drop-down menu will tell you how many jokers you have
left. If you play one joker but later decide to cancel
it or to change your predictions, you may do so by logging
in and going onto the Predictions page, provided the
Grand Prix has not started yet.
The
points system explained in detail:
Here's briefly how it works :
if you do a spot-on prediction, you score the maximum
points. For example, if you predict that J. Button will
finish 1st and he does, you would score 25 points.
The
perfect prediction:

For drivers that are placed in the
top 10 but in the wrong order, you only get a proportion
of the points.
For example, if L. Hamilton finished
2nd, but you had predicted he would finish first, you
would score 18 points (corresponding to his 2nd place)
divided by 2 (corresponding to being off the exact prediction
by one place). If L. Hamilton had finished 3rd, you
would have scored 15 points divided by 3. Simple, isn't
it? Let's take an example:
