2010 F1 Predictions - Rounds 15 & 16, Singapore & Japan - RESULTS
Huge apologies for the lateness of these results - amazingly, some things came up that were more important than the F1 predictions competition. However, I'm sure this break has helped to build the suspense nicely.
Singapore GP Results Pole: Fernando Alonso 1st: Fernando Alonso 2nd: Sebastian Vettel 3rd: Mark Webber 4th: Jenson Button 5th: Nico Rosberg 6th: Rubens Barrichello 7th: Robert Kubica 8th: Adrian Sutil 9th: Nico Hulkenberg 10th: Felipe Massa Fastest lap: Fernando Alonso Singapore was generally a high-scoring round, and a good handful of people were a Hamilton-error away from a 5 point bonus for predicting the entire top 10. We have two winners this round, both with 14 points, and they are chunterer and Teretonga, who picked up an extra point for correctly predicting the three podium finishers. Japanese GP Results Pole: Sebastian Vettel 1st: Sebastian Vettel 2nd: Mark Webber 3rd: Fernando Alonso 4th: Jenson Button 5th: Lewis Hamilton 6th: Michael Schumacher 7th: Kamui Kobayashi 8th: Nick Heidfeld 9th: Rubens Barrichello 10th: Sebastien Buemi Fastest lap: Mark Webber Japan was a different story in terms of scores, with lots of people caught out by the Kubica-Rosberg-Massa triumvirate failing to score. So I should say that the people who made it into double figures did a pretty good job considering. I dished out three 1-point bonuses for this round to people who got the top 3 correct - two of those went to Daisy and f1madmatt, who each collected a total of 12 points. However, they were pipped to the title of winner for the round by rocketracer, who scored 13 including a podium bonus. So, let's see what those two rounds have done to the overall leaderboard. Unsurprisingly, davec is still leading the way, but the win in Japan for rocketracer holds the gap steady at 13 points. Meanwhile, CDK 7 has moved into third place. But come on guys, you're running out of time if you want to catch the runaway leader!

Dave are you Bernie Ecclestone?
How can you possibly predict the results so accurately unless you knew in advance!!! |

13 points ahead with 3 round to go, even I cant balls that up.... I can lose 4 points per round so sould be ok.
Rocketracer has done just as well as me since missing round 1 so it could have been really interesting. Last edited by davec; 20 Oct 2010 at 09:37. Reason: I am an idiot that cant spell |

What's actually quite interesting is that davec has only won 2 rounds of the competition, yet has been in the overall lead either outright or jointly since round 4. There's a lot to be said for consistency.

Being a fan of meaningless statistics, I've done a bit of analysis and can reveal that the top 3, were we to have a medals system in place in this competition, would be:
1. Grandpa_Rob - 4 wins 2. Notso Swift - 3 wins =3. Radex, davec, rocketracer, chunterer - 2 wins What this tells us is that those two are rueing not entering every round. |

I'm really kicking myself for not getting the Monza entry in. 10 points there and I'd be tied for 2nd.
