F1 Prediction Game (Interforum League) 2015

The season is about to start, so it's time for you to make your predictions for this year's interforum league!  

If you are late joining, don't worry, you will get some points for each race you missed (usually 20), and you can still help the forum in the league.

How to play:

• Register on zdkf1and start your nickname with “v2”. (If you forget, please edit your nickname here.)
  
• Add the other entrants whose nicknames start with "v2” as your friends.
  
• Predict the pole position, pole time and top 10 finishers for each race.
  
• The prediction deadline is 10pm (GMT) on the Thursday before each race (except Monaco).
  
• How the scoring works on zdkf1
  

In addition to helping v2 fight against other f1 forums for the (poorly photoshopped) league trophy, you will be competing for individual awards including:

individual champion (most points on zdkf1);6 tenths award (for most league points scored);quali trophy (for best pole time predictor),and the much-coveted bernie medal (for most victories).

v2 finished 8th out of 11 last season; 10th out of 12 in 2013; 11th out of 11 in 2012, and 11th out of 13 in 2011.

Slightly late predictions can be emailed to support@zdkf1.com and if you post them on here I will include them towards the league.

Driver classes are now up on the site. If one of your selected drivers doesn't race (e.g. Alonso), then his replacement (e.g. Magnussen) will be used instead with the same driver class. Manor's drivers aren't on the site yet, but will presumably be added soon.

Good luck everyone!

There's only a 2.5 hours left until the first prediction deadline.

Just the 1 prediction for Australia for v2 from fernando; if you made a prediction and you're not fernando then please say. If you're late to the party, don't worry, sign up now!
