Vettel and Hamilton first and third was a popular pick
With two rounds to go in the F1 Fanatic Predictions Championship, SaloolaS has edged into a very useful 30-point lead.
Dank, Dougie and PJA are locked in a three-way tie for second, with another three just five points behind.
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”
- £60 to spend on F1 merchandise at Onpole.com
3x Runners-up prizes
- Copies of “Lotus Goes Turbo” DVDs from Duke Video
- £30 to spend on F1 merchandise at Onpole.com
SaloolaS was one of 13 people who correctly predicted Sebastian Vettel to win from pole position with Lewis Hamilton third.
The others were Indranil Dudhane, Muawiya, Romain from Grenoble, Robbie Blake, PJA, Choltz, Biggles209, Clint Davis, hamz0rs, Augusto Cesar, Bhavish and arporter.
Had any of them also picked Jarno Trulli to come in second they would have scored the maximum 60 points – instead they took 35 each. Here are the standings in full:

Sorry for the delay in getting the results up this time and the problems with collecting some of the predictions last week. Having looked into the problem it should not recur again.

120 points left and only 35 points behind – still do-able?? But only 5 behind second getting very close!

WOW!! Big congratulations to Saloolas! It’s going to take something pretty special to top the table now.
Me, I need to improve my performance (much like Jens
) if I want even a runners up prize!
Well done for sorting the scores Keith, can’t have been easy after the problems in entering for the last race.

Thank you Dougie! So, I can become the champion in Interlagos just as Button can? Nice.

Wow I’m well out of it 95 points from the lead with 120points to play for I should hope for maximums in the last 2 races and for SaloolaS and co to struggle.

Lol well done SaloolaS

I am 55 points behind don’t see me on the podium.
Hope can have my name on the top 8 at the end of the season.

Keith,
I am pretty sure I scored the amazing amount of 5 (!) points in at least 2 of my most recent 3 zeros!
I posted a comment on this in the last round but it’s still the same. I can’t seem to be able to find my old predictions anywhere to verify this. I know loads of people are asking you but could you please look into it whenever you have time?
Thanks,
Ino

120 points left and only 120 points behind
If 2 or more people get to the top with the same points after Abu Dhabi, who wins?
SaloolaS said on 12th October 2009, 19:09
I think it’s the one who scored more 60 pointers. In case you and I have the same number of points in the end, you would win for having 2 60 pointers, and I only one

Then I am still a threat

How do I become a part of this next season?

You can start for fun from this season anytime you want!
You just enter your predictions at the related topic which appears after FP2 (I think) and of course always under the same username and email!
