Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,663 Posted February 21 Subscriber Share Posted February 21 I assume people are game for this again? If so, I'll draw the Constructors teams in a few days and have a look at any scoring tweaks before posting the pre-season predictions. @DeadLinesman @nudge @Stan @Tommy @MUFC @OrangeKhrush @The Palace Fan @Whiskey @Coma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,663 Posted February 25 Author Subscriber Share Posted February 25 Constructors' Championship - Teams Red Bull - @nudge & @Tommy Mercedes - @The Palace Fan & @MUFC Ferrari - @Whiskey & @Stan McLaren - @DeadLinesman & @RandoEFC Aston Martin - @OrangeKhrush & @Coma Yes, I've signed everyone up even if they haven't responded. If we get no-shows (hopefully an even number) then I'll merge two teams like I did last season. Below is a reminder of the scoring for the whole-season predictions: However, this year I'm introducing a "Verstappen rule". If you choose Verstappen or Red Bull for your Drivers' or Constructors' Champion, you will only get half points. So Verstappen bags you 10 points if he wins the title and 5 if he finishes in the top three. Anyone else gets you 20 points for the win and 10 points for 2nd or 3rd. Same with Red Bull. I reserve the right to implement a similar rule for the race-by-race scoring throughout the season if it looks really boring but not yet. Below are your predictions for the season. Please fill them out before the start of qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix. You can edit them up until that point. The race predictions for Bahrain will be up within 2-3 days so best get these ones done sooner rather than later! World Drivers' Champion: World Constructors' Champion: How many different drivers will win at least one race? How many different constructors will score at least one podium? Which driver will have the most retirements? Team-mate championship battles - which driver will score the most points from each team? Red Bull - Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez? Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton or George Russell? Ferrari - Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz? McLaren - Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri? Aston Martin - Fernando Alonso or Lance Stroll? Alpine - Esteban Ocon or Pierre Gasly? Williams - Alexander Albon or Logan Sargeant? VCARB - Yuki Tsunoda or Daniel Ricciardo? Sauber - Valtteri Bottas or Zhou Guanyu? Haas - Kevin Magnussen or Nico Hulkenberg? Good luck! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 296 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The Verstappen Rule means everyone will get the same points anyway, I have this nagging feeling that he is going to clean up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma 1,766 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Maybe a diversion from strictly podium finishes would help generate points (and interest). For instance, predicting the top 10 and you get a point for each racer that actually makes your top 10 in the given week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season these were difficult to predict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
