As there seem to be no strong objections to starting over, that is what we shall do I'll PM those regulars from last years comp to make them aware.

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
Interesting idea, however what happens if a team establishes themselves as a clear second best. Ferrari looked pretty strong last time out and you could then end up back at the same situation. I think to keep things simple we will stick with the top three.

Mark F - you'll need to make some fresh picks once I've posted up this rounds thread. I will take you picks for the podium if you don't make another post in time before the race.

OK we are starting afresh after the late posting of the this years comp caught many regulars out. It's a clean slate for everyone with the first race in Aus serving up a few pointers for the season ahead, namely who will be best of the rest behind Mercedes

Get your selections in for the following by 09:00 GMT Saturday 28 March 2015

The driver qualifying on pole
The drivers classified as finishing first, second and third in the race (in any order)
The number of race laps completed by Renault powered cars (FYI race length 56 laps, 4 cars powered by Renault power trains)

For those who didn't read the opening post:

For each race weekend on the calander, 18 at present with our late start and the cancellation of the German GP, 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.

Do the race laps have to spot or just say within, ie 5, 10, 20 laps, guessing the exact number of laps will be hard unless all 4 cars finish all laps, unlikely at the moment for Renault, maybe get higher points the closer you get to the exact number

Just a thought......

Good point, I meant to say closest to the number, over or under, gets the points

The number of race laps completed by Renault powered cars (FYI race length 56 laps, 4 cars powered by Renault power trains). Closest to the correct number, over or under gets the points. If two or more people tie you will all get 5 points.

Ferrari spring a surprise and shake up the expected order. A few unlucky predictors went for Raikkonen who could well have finished on the podium were it not for his early puncture. It looks like Renault surprised almost everyone as well with all of their powered steads making it to the finish. Well done to Uberman for picking up the 5pt bonus with his prediction of 224 laps, they completed 221.

Results in full:
Pole: Hamilton
Podium: Vettel, Hamilton, Rosberg
Bonus: 221 laps completed by Renault powered cars

As always, check your scores!
