F1 Prediction Game (Interforum League) 2016

If you haven't played before, the points system may sound complicated , but it's not that difficult to play, just pick the top ten and pole for each race and have a wild guess at what the pole time will be.

Zdkf1 has finished moving to its new server; hopefully there won't be any teething problems but if anyone does have problems with logging in please tell me, zdkf1 aren't always great at helping quickly so it may be easier to start a new account if you do run into problems.

Here's my usual opening post spiel...


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

There's not long until the first prediction deadline , 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• How the scoring works on zdkf1 (although the risk factor boundaries are outdated on that link ; the categories actually are: very safe ≤19, safe 20-22, moderate 23-25; risky 26-28; crazy 29+).

In addition to helping the forum 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).



Each season I also do a photo version of the league table with the best players pictured as drivers: 2015; 2014; 2013; 2012, and 2011.


If one of your selected drivers doesn't race, then his replacement will be used instead with the same driver class.

Driver classes aren't up for Australia yet, but will presumably be added soon.

Slightly late predictions can be emailed to support@zdkf1.com and will be included at zdkf1's discretion but if you post them on here too I will at least include them towards the league.

Good luck everyone!

Sounds like fun. 1st season for me but I'm in

Welcome onboard AlciG, hope you enjoy it
Less than 2 hours left until the first deadline everyone, get those predictions in!

Welcome back Fernando
There's been a one-off extension to the deadline for Australia, if anyone is still thinking of joining

Australia Results

First of all I'd like to give a warm welcome to new entrants thefastlane and forumula1 . With grandprix not taking part this year (their forum is down and their members have abandoned ship) that makes the number of forums in the league the same as the number of f1 teams .
There were 42 predictions across the 11 forums for this race. If you made a prediction but don't see your name in the top 10 or "also rans" please tell me!
Sardaor takes victory for 2013 champions cliptheapex, with 48 points thanks to 4 spot on and only Grosjean missing from the top 10.
v2 didn't place in the top 10 this race , but don't be disheartened!

Bahrain Results

Welcome back to motorsportforums , who are returning after a year out after placing seventh in 2014. This takes the number of forums in the league to twelve, so whichever forum takes the wooden spoon this year will be Caterham on the end of season photo.
Bahrain is a historic race for underdogs f1onboard, as dreggsf1 gets their maiden victory in their third season of taking part.
2013 champions cliptheapex have a 3 point lead in the league over rookies thefastlane.

Quali trophy
Well done to forumula1's sagi58 for the best pole time guess on zdkf1, getting 3 points and the lead for the trulli trophy. Ten other players got within 1% to earn 1 point including alcig .

Yay me... Just wish more from v2 would participate

You can still do respectably even in a small team, and there's always the individual awards so don't lose heart. v2 have always been underdogs in the league, best league result was eighth in 2014 when I was playing for v2  (I was writing for the viewfromv2 magazine at the time). I might play for v2 a bit this year too, at the moment I play for wherever I have ranted most about Carmen Jorda .

1.5 days left till deadline for China predictions... Get them in people

I would but it won't let me in the site and my password is correct

Have you tried emailing support@zdkf1.com fernando?
You can post your prediction here so I can still include you until the problem is sorted.

Hi pob... Do you know if Lewis can still get the pole position points if he has the fastest pole lap? Or does it go by starting grid position?
I assume it should be the former but just checking

Hmmm... its actually the latter of the 2... makes it easy to predict the pole in this case

It is by who is on pole after grid penalties are applied, so choosing Hamilton for pole is very unlikely to get you any points.

Yeah... gonna be a big surprise who'll be on pole

China Results

Pedekay leads home a 1-4 for f1world, which catapults them from seventh in the league to second place, 11 points behind cliptheapex.

Sagi58 from forumula1 still leads.

Hi pob,

Do you know how it works this week with Verstappen and Kvyat... they're still listed with the wrong team.
Will it be something like when Vandoorne came in for Alonso and you had to pick Alonso to actually have Vandoorne as a pick?
i.e. having to pick Verstappen if you want Kvyat and vice versa?
Or just pick the driver you want at the spot you want wihtout considering the team?

I just read the mail I got from zDKf1 and it's indeed picking Verstappen if you want Kvyat and vice versa

Yep that's right AlciG. If anyone doesn't read this or the email before the deadline, and want their choice of Kvyat to actually mean Kvyat or their choice of Verstappen to actually mean Verstappen, just say on here.

Spain Results

Thankfully the confusion over how to choose Verstappen or Kvyat hasn't affected the results much.
Cliptheapex score a 1-3 to retake the lead in the league, 21 points ahead of f1world.

The zdkf1 website is super slow at the moment ; if anyone has trouble posting their prediction for Monaco, post it here instead.

The deadline for Monaco is one day earlier than normal , on Wednesday evening instead of Thursday.

Less than 7 hours until the deadline , if you miss it remember that...

It's still the case that you need to select Kvyat if you want to predict Verstappen and vice versa. If you want your prediction of Verstappen to actually mean Verstappen you need to say on here.

The deadline has been extended until Friday evening.

Monaco Results

Pob ( ) gets f1technical's first win of the year, which moves them from eighth to fourth in the league.
Cliptheapex are still the league leaders, 13 points ahead of reigning champions f1world.

I'm quite pleased with my results so far but unfortunately v2 is still only 8th

You're doing brilliantly AlciG you're:

• 2nd out of the 57 players in the interforum league;
  
• 10th out of 279 players in the world (I consider top 100 to be good);
  
• in second place for the six tenths award for most league points;
  
• a win away from taking the lead for the Bernie medal.

Very provisional results for Silverstone (a penalty for RadioRosberg could shake things up a lot)

I thought I was going to be prompt with the results this race but with the FIA fiddling with the result and then being without internet I've ended up later than I'd hoped.
Andykarter takes f1world's fifth win of the year, which means f1world seal their second league title with two races to spare! Personally I would have preferred it to be a closer affair like last year's 5-way fight , but they thoroughly deserve it. Congratulations f1world!

The Bernie medal is likely to go down to the final race, although a win in Brazil would seal it for f1world's pdk.

Six Tenths Awards
Pdk's seventh place in Mexico is enough to move her into the lead for the Alonso trophy for most league points:

Quali Trophy
Well done to dreggsf1 from f1onboard for scoring the maximum 3 points for best pole time guess on zdkf1. This has significantly extended his lead for the Trulli Trophy.
Only 2 other players were within 0.25% for 2 points (one of which was alcig ).
11 players scored 1 point for being within 1%.
Only three players can catch dreggsf1 now:

Six Tenths Awards
5 people can win the Alonso Trophy for most league points:

Quali Trophy
5 players were within 0.25% for 2 points.
9 players scored 1 point for being within 1% (including alcig ).
Dreggsf1 from f1onboard already has one hand on the trophy:
pos_nickname_______forum_____points
1__dreggsf1________f1onboard___18
2__racechick_______f1forumorg__15 (needs to get the best pole time guess on zdkf1 in Abu Dhabi and dreggsf1 not be within 1%)

Is there something wrong with F1madgirl's score on the site? It shows her with 774 points for me.
Anyway... I'm happy to still have a shot at the Individual Championship and Six Tenths Awards heading into the last race.
