Malaysia 2014 - F1 Prediction League

Welcome to round 2 of the F1 prediction league 2014! So we emerge from the first race with plenty of contraversy - mainly around Red Bull and some strange rumours about the FIA limiting the Ferrari power unit. 

Let's not forget that there were some major successes too although there were a large number of unhappy drivers - for many different reasons.

On the successes well done to Magnussen, Button and Rosberg. Malaysia raises some interesting questions - can Rosberg extend his championship lead? Can he beat Hamilton in a fair fight? Can McLaren find a magic half a second like Ron Dennis suggests? And can Red Bull and Ferrari bounce back from mostly disappointing Australia weekends?

As always here is a re-cap from the standings from the first race:

The season is still young so expect major changes after the next race. Saying that in the previous four seasons the leader after the first race has won the championship twice.

Random

Many called for more complicated randoms, akin to Brazil 2013. I agree so here is one for you. I'm breaking the track into the three different sectors, for each there will be a different theme. 

 
Sector 1

Which driver will qualify the highest and lowest on the grid out of the following choices: Vettel, Ricciardo, Alonso, Raikkonen, Button, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Perez, Massa, Bottas?
Also which driver will qualify the highest and lowest on the grid out of the following choices: Hamilton (4 second penalty on best time), Rosberg (4 second penalty on best time), Grosjean, Maldonado, Sutil, Gutierrez, Vergne, Kvyat, Chilton, Bianchi, Kobayashi?

Sector 2

Which team will run the longest race stint? (laps) - ties will be decided by whichever team pits earlier.

Sector 3

Which driver will have the highest speed through the speed trap in qualifying?
Which driver will have the lowest (highest*) speed through the speed trap in qualifying?

* F1.com will record the best speed through the speed trap in the session so it's not the lowest speed at any point, it's the lowest best speed.

Scoring

Points will be scored for each sector based on the real F1 points - 25 points for the best pick, 18 for second etc. Each category within a category is worth a 25 point maximum. So sector 1 is worth 100 points, sector 2 worth 25 points and sector 3 worth 50 points.
