Post your predictions for the Turkish Grand Prix and win F1 prizes
It's prediction time! Who will be on top in Istanbul?
Join in the F1 Fanatic Predictions Championship by posting your picks for pole position and the top three on the podium below.
Even if you haven’t joined in the four rounds so far, with 60 points up for grabs at each round and the championship leader on 105, it’s still worth joining in!

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 (three different drivers) 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.
7. In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by who picked to most race winners correctly, then second places finishers and so on.
8. In the event of a dispute the editor’s decision is final.
How to enter your predictions
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 Turkish Grand Prix:
