errr.....yeah so this is a little late! Under eight hours to the first qualifying session of the season as I type. What can I say, it looks like we are in for another season of Mercedes domination. To try and make things a little less predictable this season will see the return of the bonus pick. This will be a prediction involving the race which will change week to week. Joker round remains for double points.

Here is the full run down:

For each race weekend on the calander, 20 at present, you should post predictions for the following before the start of qualifying:

The driver who qualifies on pole (5pts)
The drivers finishing 1st/2nd/3rd in any order. Points will be awarded based on where your driver(s) finish. 25pts for first, 18pts for second, 15pts for third.
Your prediction for the bonus pick, this will be different for each race so pay attention at the back (5pts)

Joker: Each participant is entitled to play one joker during the season, this must be nominated at the time of posting their predictions. Any points scored during this round will be doubled.

Race results taken from www.formula1.com. The chairmans decision is final.

Any questions post them below. Best of luck to all those taking part. The winner will receive the virtual Hermjca F1 trophy.

As the opening post is so late for this round only, leave out your qualifying predictions. You bonus question for this round, predict the two drivers that will take the race start for Sauber.

Predictions in by 05:00 GMT, Sunday 15th March 2015.

But it might be best to forget about this weeks and make it a 19 race competition.

Ha - think everyone got the prediction pretty much spot on.

I fear the Mercedes dominance will make the competition a bit dull which is no slight on your hard work Bacca!

TBH I gave up hope of this kicking off again. Missed out on my chance for three-in-a-row I guess.

Actually before the weekend I did wonder if with the season looking very predictable how well I would do making the same picks for every race. So in that vein, if Baccattack will allow me, I predict for each of the remaining rounds:

Pole: Hamilton
Race: Hamilton / Rosberg / Vettel

while i agree that some of us did predict before qualifying(me included) it did state that we could predict up untill the start of the race, so we cant really blame anyone else

A rather messy and predictable start to the new season. If those who predicted for the first race are in agreement I am happy to blank the table and start afresh from Malaysia. Let me know your thoughts below. I'm open to going with the majority

I'm ok for you to start the game from the next race.Looks like Mercedes will again dominate this season,Rosberg and Hamilton will again be picked by us for sure.Other than the joker,can you add another bonus for us to predict.Like who retires first during the race.

One idea is to do the comp without hamilton+rosberg
So for example if they finish 1+2 then 3+4+5 count as the 1-2-3

No strong feelings either way.

How about an extra joker for those who already have points from the first race if the decision is to start again
