RF1 Predictions Competition

The unpredictability of the 2012 season continues, and our entrants in the RichardsF1.com F1 Predictions Competition enjoyed another closely-fought, albeit low-scoring, round for the Spanish Grand Prix.

While just two entrants were brave enough to predict a Pastor Maldonado pole position, no one was willing to predict a Williams-Ferrari quinella at the end of the race.

In the end, almost all of the scores came down to correctly predicting the top-eight finishers in the race…

A quick reminder of how points are calculated each round:

1 point for correctly guessing the driver who claims pole position
2 points for correctly guessing the race winner
1 point for correctly guessing each of the top-two finishing teams, with an additional point for correctly guessing the order in which each team finishes
1 point for correctly guessing each of the top-eight finishing drivers
a bonus 5 points if all of the above criteria are correctly guesses
entrants can also elect to double their points earned (including bonus points) for one round only over the course of the season.

Two entrants – ‘KruseCtrl’ and ‘9Milla’ – opted to double their base score and this helped move them up the rankings list, while tipster ‘Shelbourne’ earned the highest raw score with seven points.

As it is, ‘splitpin’ continues to hold the lead he’s held since the opening race in Australia, although his sits at just three points.
