Belgium - F1 Prediction League (Round 11)

Finally Spa is here! We've had a long break so it will be amazing to get down to racing again. If you haven't already seen the mid-season categories, go here to make your picks. Don't forget, as well as our overall prize there's a £30 Amazon voucher up for grabs to whoever scores the most points in the second half of the season, so good luck to everyone. 

 

We're picking up the pace now  - nine races in three months means an average of a race every one and a half weeks! The races to come could have a huge impact on the championship, especially if one team like Mercedes or Red Bull find themselves with a clear advantage.

Historically speaking Spa has been a very happy hunting ground for Kimi Raikkonen. With four race wins (2004, 2005, 2007, 2009) he's the only active multiple winner. Will Raikkonen be able to repeat his success and take the fight to Vettel in the championship? Or will Vettel or Hamilton strike again?

To refresh your memories after the mid-season break, here's a quick round-up of the standings so far:

Random Category for Spa

Which midfield driver will be the fastest in each three sectors during qualifying?

 

Basically, you need to pick a different midfield driver for each of the three sectors (see below, Sector 1 - yellow, Sector 2 - Red, Sector 3 - Blue). This means no driver repeats although it is okay to pick both drivers in a team e.g. Sector 1 - Maldonado, Sector 2 - Bottas, Sector 3 - Gutierrez.

Midfield drivers are classed as any driver from a team 5th to 9th in the championship - Force India, McLaren, Toro Rosso, Sauber, Williams.

 

 

 

The best sectors for the chosen drivers, using f1.com, will be totalled with the overall fastest time winning. 

The point scoring will be slightly different to usual, the best player in the league will score 3 points, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best will score 2 points and 5th to 8th will score 1 point.

 

1st - 3 points

2nd, 3rd and 4th - 2 points

5th, 6th, 7th and 8th - 1 point
