Hi everyone!

Testing is done, McLarens are already breaking down, and everyone is gearing up for the start of the 2018 Formula 1 season!

In lieu of any information on Pob and his return to run the Interforum Legaue, I have offered to continue where we left off last season. For those who weren't aware, I'm Dogued over at F1Forum and I picked up the league mid season last year. I carried on the fine work the Pob had begun, but I forgot one simple thing; to have an InterForum league, I needed to actually post the results around or interest wanes! But not this time  8) 

I will use ZDKF1 results after each round to gather data for the following categories:

Interforum League Championship
Each week, the Top 10 players will be assigned points per position. These points will add to their forum's total.
Caveats are:
* Only 2 players per forum in the Top 10
* Equal ZDKF1 points will be split by difference to Pole time. Further ties will be split by Spot On then Top 10. If players have identical results and are the first 2 represnting their forum, a tie for position will be given. If they are fighting for the 2nd representative place, the player who is higher in the ZDKF1 list will be given the place and points.
* Absent results do not count for position.
Defending Champions: F1Forum.org

Interforum Individual Championship
Using the points gained by the Top 10 each round, this will be the total points for the season. Ties on points will be seperated by Wins/Seconds/Thirds.
Defending Championob (F1 Technical)

Interforum Qualifying Championship
Individual Championship that uses pole times. This year the points will be: 2 points if your guess is within 0.25% and 1 point if within 1%. Additional 1 point for correct polesitter. As per ZDKF1, driver must actually start on pole on Sunday.
Rankings shall be based on total difference to pole time. Absent times WILL be counted in total time.
Defending Champion: Natny (F1Forum.org)

Interforum ZDKF1 Points Championship
Individual Championship that uses actual ZDKF1 points rather than positional points.
Defending Champion: Tazio (Motorsport Forums)

For those wishing to join up, please head on over to ZDKF1 Sign Up and jump on board! Existing players can log in HERE.
A reminder, if you can please go to your profile on the page and ensure your forum tag is at the start of your name, (i.e. babbleSCO)
and if you can let me know your ZDKF1 nick on this thread, I can make sure nobody is missed.

Good luck to everyone!

In for another season. Snoots is in this time as well. Hope we get some more representation.

Cracking start to the season from Sports Babble, with a 1-2 finish!
Given your finishing position last season, it's obvious you've put in the extra work in pre-season testing (and no doubt aided by the VSC!)

On to Round 2! 
We've gained a few more returning players, 2 of whom made it to the Top 10!

Just a reminder, I am unable to alter ZDKF1 results if you miss the deadline. I am also unable to recalculate your score if you send me a late entry list.
What I CAN do is the following: If you PM me on the forum BEFORE Q1 STARTS, I can use your previous race prediction (and remove the penalty on my records). Late Pole Guesses will NOT be accepted after FP1 begins as changing weather/huge gains in speed during FP sessions can give an advantage.
So I would suggest you take some time between China and Azerbaijan to put in dummy predictions for the season which you can edit before the race date.


Also, a side note: I'm based in Australia, so forgive any delays in posting... most races finish at 3am so I don't get to results for about 12hrs.


DO NOT FORGET CHINA PREDICTIONS CLOSE THIS WEEK!

I'm not suggesting anything strange was going on, but the FIA are investigating his result to see if he cut any corners!

Round 4 - Azerbaijan GP Results

And we're Baku!

We return to Europe (Well.. depends who you ask and where you stand...) for this round, to that historic track around the city of Baku.
Since serving up a race in 2016 that only rivaled Sochi for "Miss Boring 2016" title, Baku certainly delivered last year and followed it up with another great race this season.

Perhaps we can all take a leaf out of Grosjean's book and blame Ericsson!

Oh what a glorious, exciting, and amazing weekend.... if you're part of the Williams Raft team.
