Formula 1 prediction game

Why dont we do a small betting/polling game? Lets put the top five names in the order that we think that they will win this Sunday's race? Lets see on Sunday after the race how lucky/accurate each one is?

my list,

1. Barrichello
2. Kubica
3. Button
4. Hamilton
5. Massa.

Here is how it works (amendments can be made to the system seeing your recommendations)

5 points for the first place and decreases to 1 point for the last place.

i.e. Position -- > points
1 --> 5
2 --> 4
3 --> 3
4 --> 2
5 --> 1

A total of 15 points can be made if all the entries are correct and a bonus 5 points for each correct position. i.e all entries are correct = 15 points + 5x5 bonus points = 40 points. 40 points is the maximum acheivable score for a single race.

For example, If i get only the 3rd position correct then i will be getting 3 points for the place + 5 points for the correct choice. Which means the total will be 8 points.

Sounds like fun.

1. Button
2. Vettel
3. Kubica
4. Barricello
5. Hamilton

1. Button
2. Glock
3. Barricello
4. Kubica
5. Massa
Although I'd like to see Practice tomorrow before I commit

1. Button
2. Barrichello
3. Vettel
4. Trulli
5. Kimi

1. Piquet
2. Buemi
3. Fisichella
4. Nakajima
5. Sutil

We meant the first to finish, not the first to DNF.

[list=1]

Button

Vettel

Kubica

Barrichello

Glock

Yeah, but you are all voting the same way, so you'll all end up equal first if you are right. But if I am right then I will be first, way out ahead, all on my own, and you'll be eating tyre rubber and dust. Same reasoning as avoiding numbers 1 thru 31 in a lottery.

Don't forget Buemi somehow managed to get 2 points already.

What are the rules if a driver gets dropped by his team (I'm thinking Piquet here)?

I'm in...

1. Trulli
2. Vettel
3. Button
4. Räikkönen
5. Webber

Gotta give the Aussie a shot, and he's relatively quick (even thought it's practice and means nothing really)

1. Hamilton
2. Button
3. Massa
4. Barrichello
5. Trulli

Ferrari just can't be crap all season.

Results after Fridays practice session.

Pos No Driver Team

1 22 Jenson Button Brawn-Mercedes
2 16 Nico Rosberg Williams-Toyota
3 23 Rubens Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes
4 14 Mark Webber RBR-Renault
5 15 Sebastian Vettel RBR-Renault

1. Button
2. Kubica
3. Rosberg
4. Barrichello
5. Hamilton

so, here are the results. Sad to see Sutil crash with less than 5 laps to finish.

1. S.Vettel
2. M.Webber
3. J.Button
4. R.Barichello
5. H.Kovalainen

I land up with only 3+5 = 8 points for correctly guessing Button'S 3rd place...

Well I was close with Vettel in second, but generally my choices were rubbish!

Hmm, well 4 of us got Baricello right
