Can anyone stop the Brawn cars this weekend?

The 2009 F1 Fanatic Predictions Championship starts here!

Get your predictions in for the Chinese Grand Prix for your chance to win some cool F1 prizes…

The prizes

First place prize

  • An original F1 painting by Rob Ijbema
  • Five F1 DVDs from Duke Video: “Formula One 1970: The uncrowned champion”, “Formula Villeneuve: A tribute to Gilles Villeneuve”, “The World’s Greatest F1 Cars”, “Champion: Hill” and “Nine Days in Summer”

3x Runners-up prizes

  • Copies of “Lotus Goes Turbo” DVDs from Duke Video

Here’s how the game works:

1. Predictions have to be made before the beginning of final practice on Saturday.
2. Only one set of predictions per person.
3. You have to predict (a) Who will be on pole position and (b) What the top three finishers will be.
4. Players score:
a. ten points for correctly guessing the pole sitter
b. ten points for naming one of the top three in their correct position, 25 for naming two of the top three and 50 for naming the whole top three correctly
c. five points for correctly naming any other driver in the top three (but not in the correct position)
5. Predictions must be entered as described below and either posted in a comment below or emailled to competition-at-f1fanatic.co.uk
6. Whoever scores the most points over the 15 races from round three (China) to 17 (Abu Dhabi) wins the grand prize. There will also be runners-up prizes…
7. The editor’s decision is final.

Please post your predictions in the following format: start with your user name (try to pick a unique one), then the name of your pick for pole position, then the top three drivers in order, using only their surnames. Do not add any other characters on these five lines. If you do not adhere to this style your entry may not be counted.

I’m not eligible to win the prizes, of course, but I’ll be joining in for fun. Here’s my prediction for the Chinese Grand Prix:

Keith Collantine
Button

Barrichello
Glock

Make your predictions now. Remember – predictions close when the third practice session begins on Saturday…

    Seems like Mclaren had an ace up their sleeve with that new diffuser decision.
