Ladies and gentlemen, it is back... the PF1 Pick 10 Competition! 2019 Edition

Rules are simple, pick 10 drivers you think will finish the race in the points and place them in the order of which you think they will finish. Points are awarded according to the difference your selection is from the race result, providing the selected drivers score points.
o Picking driver in correct place earns 25 points.
o One place out earns 18 points.
o Two places out earns 15 points.
o Three places out earns 12 points.
o Four places out earns 10 points.
o Five places out earns 8 points.
o Six places out earns 6 points.
o Seven places out earns 4 point.
o Eight places out earns 2 point.
o Nine places out earns 1 point.
Maximum points per race is 250.


Example for the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix:

Tip / Result: Points

1: Rosberg / 14th: 0 points
2: Hamilton / 1st: 18 points
3: Bottas / 3rd: 25 points
4: Ricciardo / 4th: 25 points
5: Massa / 2nd: 12 points
6: Vettel / 8th: 15 points
7: Alonso / 9th: 15 points
8: Button / 5th: 12 points
9: Raikkonen / 10th: 18 points
10: Magnussen / 11th: 0 points

Therefore my overall score for Abu Dhabi would be:
140 points

The person who has the most points by the end of the season wins the championship.

Your picks must be entered before Friday Practice 1 and can be changed any time before the session starts (just be sure to let me know). Any late picks will incur a penalty depending on how many sessions have passed, note that one second late is still late.
-15 points for FP1
-18 points for FP2
-25 points for FP3
-DSQ for Qual

In case the forum temporary closes during a race week and you are unable to submit your entry, your average score from past rounds will be used.

A further note concerns players that have a habit of forgetting their entries, for the most part because of work commitment it seems, I would advise such players to submit their entries soon after the last GP, these entries then can easily be edited nearer the race weekend if needs be.

What are you waiting for? You have 13 days, 7 hours and 36 minutes until Practice 1 of the Melbourne Grand Prix!

@Moderators: Can I kindly ask you to postpone moving this topic to the "Games" section as I would like to attract as many members as possible at least until Melbourne ?!

Looking forward to giving this a go again Poker

Welcome back, the more the merrier.

Despite my generally dismal performance these last two seasons, I'm back as well. Aiming for the gold, as always!

(And there won't be any strategic penalties this year... )

I can't believe it's that time of the year (again!) where I make a comment about how I'm looking forward to taking part, and my inevitable finish in the top 10 without actually winning the bloody competition...

Eh, better than finishing 19th or whatever I did...

But it's a new year for us both. Maybe one of us can achieve the coveted double victory, winning the Pick 10 and Top Three in the same year!

You can't be disappointed if You were to see I last tasted success way back in 2013. Since then I'm just being Kartikeyan...

I had fully intended on being a one season wonder about halfway through last year.... though I think i'd be a bit of a bad sport not giving people the proper chance to dethrone me

I’m in

I think last year we waited until Friday of Melbourne, I see no reason to migrate the games threads before then.

Oh, and I'm in!

A rookie won it last year so maybe you're the favourite?

Really? Or are you pulling my leg?

I may have just gone from wanting to be in the mid pack, to looking to win at all if that’s true

It is true. The reigning champion led from pretty much the start of the year, and was a bonafide rookie.

Eh.... IIRC I had 2 podiums in the first 3 races, but after that it was pretty middle of the road. Dont think I came into contention until halfway though the season, wanna say Austria but i'd need to re-read the topic to really see.

Looks like my time as the bright young new thing might be short
