Introduction

With Mercedes and Ferrari looking set to continue their dominance over the rest of the field this year it's time for a shake up. Following feedback left in last years thread and some ideas of my own we are going to move away from predicting what happens at the front of the race to a format that looks right down the grid.

Performance Tiers

The teams will be split into three tiers. Your job will to be pick the driver you think will finish higher than the others in their tier. Teams will be subject to reclassification at set points throughout the year to try and stop it becoming to predictable. This will primarily be based on the teams position in the constructors championship but other factors may be taken into account. The number of tiers will not change. There will always be at least two teams in any one tier.

Reclassification will take place at the following points:
After the Russian GP - round 4
After the European GP - round 5
After the Italian GP - round 14

Bonus Points
Extra points will be up for grabs at each race weekend. These will be awarded for your predictions on:
i)The driver qualifying on pole.
ii) The driver who best punches above their weight (starting from round 2). This will be determined by the driver who has the best finish relative to their position in the drivers championship at the start of the race. E.G. a driver 20th in the championship before the race who finishes in 12th has improved by +8. If one or more drivers tie points will be awarded to all correct predictions.

Tactical predictions and those missed before the start of qualifying
Forgot to post your picks in time or maybe you're not sure who to go for. Don't worry. Make your predictions between qualifying and the race and be eligible to score half points. Applicable to tier picks and driver punching above their weight only.

Points Scoring
Correct prediction: 2 pts
Correct prediction made after qualifying but before race start: 1pt

Starting Tiers
Tier 1: Mercedes, Ferrari
Tier 2: Williams, Red Bull, Force India, Toro Rosso
Tier 3: Sauber, McLaren, Haas, Renault, Manor Racing

Questions
Any questions will be answered here. The chairman's decision is final.

Without further ado it's onto the opening race of the season. Weather is looking interesting, at least for Friday so it might be hard to get a read on the competitive order before qualifying.

For this first race I require your prediction for:
the driver qualifying on pole
the drivers scoring the highest finish amongst those in their tier

Tiers in effect for this round:
Tier 1: Mercedes, Ferrari
Tier 2: Williams, Red Bull, Force India, Toro Rosso
Tier 3: Sauber, McLaren, Haas, Renault, Manor Racing

Predictions for full points in by 06:00 GMT 19th March 2016
Predictions for half points in by 05:00 GMT 20th March 2016

Sample post format:
Pole: <driver name>
Tier 1: <driver name>
Tier 2: <driver name>
Tier 3: <driver name>

Not much to report this week. With Hamilton's poor start in the race nearly all the points scored were as a result of his pole and Ricciardo leading home the tier two teams. As always check your scores.

Results in full:
Pole - Hamilton
Tier 1 - Rosberg
Tier 2 - Ricciardo
Tier 3 - Grosjean
