surely three races left to run. unless we aren’t doing predictions for abu dhabi?
Keith Collantine said on 29th September 2009, 7:52
Yes that’s right, sorry!
Sush Meerkat said on 29th September 2009, 8:03
I’m in 5th, its not normally something to be happy about after the flat spot I hit during predictions but its looking alright for the championship.
SaloolaS said on 29th September 2009, 8:24
Only 288 people still have chances to win this.
But anyways, it’s gonna be extremely close.

Hey, I also cut points from the leaders’ advantage. You forgot to mention me, I got 10 points
Beware on the top, I am coming

Go Lewis! Good to be in the top 5 but I’m aiming for the number 1 spot…

Predictisions in this year are very hard. Last year i had second place on predictision in Poland but this year much worse becase many things changed bettwen 2008 and 2009

Yey first points on first time
I want this season over just so I can start from the beginning
Have to say a nice fight developing at the top, good luck everyone.
Can we have a prediction on who is going to win the predictions championship

Hey I’m only in 289th place with 3 races to go! I think I can still win this thing!

My first none scoring round, that will teach me to make my predictions when I am in rush.
Although I am joint 9th I think I am like Barrichello, still mathematically in with a chance but realistically not much chance of winning.
Dougie said on 29th September 2009, 13:04
Correctly identify the top 3 (and add Pole if you want) in any of the last 3 races and you will take top spot immediately. That’s how close this thing is…
…this one is going down to the wire!!
It means absolutely nothing that I’ve been at the top most of the year, what counts is who is at the top after Abu Dhabi!! and as SaloolaS says, that can be any one of 288 peeps!
This is a great fantasy game, easy to enter, and it’s a close run thing to the end.
PJA said on 29th September 2009, 17:33
I agree loads of people can still win it but I don’t think I will because my predictions for the last few races haven’t been that good, plus I am a pessimist.
Dougie said on 29th September 2009, 13:05
My first DNF!! In this game you really can’t afford to have DNFs… must try harder!
SaloolaS said on 29th September 2009, 13:47
What did you predict? I got 5 points for Hamilton on 2nd…
Dougie said on 29th September 2009, 17:03
I was banking on another Brawn one-two, but had Webber on Pole/3rd as he was looking well fast and consistent up to his crash. Reckon he would have had third as well (10pts) but for that penalty… still think it was harsh and unnecessary
steph90 said on 29th September 2009, 13:09
lol don’t worry Dougie, still few races left! I’m no where near top but can’t wait to see who wins this after having watched it for half the season. In championship terms this is more entertaining than the real thing, for me but then again I am anti-Button
SaloolaS said on 29th September 2009, 13:47
steph, you still have the chances for being 3rd or 4th, which still means a prize
Nik said on 29th September 2009, 13:40
I’ve only done this twice and I’m joint 397th, lol.
Can anyone tell me how the scores are allocated? Thanks.
steph90 said on 29th September 2009, 14:22
Aww really I thought I was completly out of it! Thanks SaloolaS, unlikely I’ll get there but I’ll give it a good try
graham228221 said on 29th September 2009, 14:31
sweet! i got the highest score for this round (apart from a couple of newbies)
And is that the real Keith Collantine that I’m currently level on points with? Now that’s not too bad…

If only the actual F1 championship were like this.
