Before each Formula One Grand Prix, submit your predictions (picks/tips) for pole position, fastest lap and for 1st through to 8th place.
Scoring
You score points for each race based on how well your picks match the actual race results. For each driver that you picked, you score points based on where the driver finished versus where you predicted he'd finish, as well as points for pole position and fastest lap:
| Didn’t finish in the top 8 |
0 points |
| Finished exactly where predicted |
10 points |
| Finished 1 place off from where predicted |
8 points |
| Finished 2 places off from where predicted |
6 points |
| Finished 3 places off from where predicted |
5 points |
| Finished 4 places off from where predicted |
4 points |
| Finished 5 places off from where predicted |
3 points |
| Finished 6 places off from where predicted |
2 points |
| Finished 7 places off from where predicted |
1 point |
| Qualified in pole position as predicted |
5 points |
| Fastest recorded lap of the race |
5 points |
For example, if you picked Villeneuve to come in 3rd (as if) and he did finish 3rd, you'd score 10 points, but if he finished 5th, you'd score 6 points. If he finished 9th, you'd score 0 points.
Your total score for a race is the sum of the points scored for each driver in your pick..
