This thread is for the rules only - a separate thread will be started for each race for you to post your guesses.
The object of the game is to predict the top eight finishers in the race, the drivers who get pole position and the fastest race lap, and to answer a bonus question which will be unique for each race.
Points are awarded as follows:
3 for each correct finishing position
1 for each finishing position out by one place, e.g. if you guess a driver in third place and he finishes second or fourth. This includes guessing a driver eighth who finishes ninth.
1 for correct fastest lap
1 for correct pole position
1 for correct bonus question (there is no "nearest guess" - if nobody gets it right, no bonus points are awarded)
Deadline for entries is 2359 GMT the Friday before each race.
If the race result is changed (by protest or disqualification), the points will be recalculated accordingly.
Pole position is taken as the driver who starts the race on pole. A driver who sets the fastest lap in Q3, but is then demoted because of engine change or other penalty will not count.
If the driver who sets the fastest race lap is subsequently disqualified, the next fastest driver will count.
If a driver misses the race following an accident in qualifying, your guess will be taken as his replacment, where applicable.
All data relating to number of laps completed, classified finishers, pit stop and lap times will be taken from formula1.com
If you forget to submit your entry, you will be awarded a "deemed" entry: this will be equal to the lowest scoring "proper" entry for that race.
Note that there will be no deemed entry for the first race, as it is only awarded for existing players who have (for whatever reason) failed to submit an entry.
If you join the game any time after the first race, you will start with the same points as the lowest scorer at that point.
