Thanks for getting this back up to date.

Tied for 1st with a 20 point gap to third going into the summer break.

The Alonso pickers go into the summer with a serious advantage- it's amazing that only 3 people invested in him at the start of the season!

Mods,

Can we change this to a sticky thread?

Thanks,

After start of the season I totally didn't expect that with my choices I will ever be third.

alonso needs to keep finishing for us to clinch this.

Some interesting data for you to look through - profits and returns on investment YTD

This data is a bit dense but I can draw a couple conclusions from this:
1. Caterham's engineers are completely lost
2. The midfield has been sucking away points from past front-runners (RBR and Mac)
3. Arguably, Vettel is having more of a disappointing year than Button or Massa

Competition updated, Mario and Jonny still leading the way, unless Alonso starts dropping a lot of points these two are clear favourites for the championship.

Thanks for the stats Displaced.

Updated for Singapore





Biggest winners this weekend were those who bet on Di Resta and against Hamilton. Mario and Johnny continue to run away with it after Alonso delivers yet again.

Another interesting fact from this weekend- despite the Mercedes engined cars being the fastest through the speed traps, the FO 108Z continues to be the least profitable non-Cosworth engine. Despite his hype, Hulkenberg seems to be on par with his previous year's performance while PDR is doubling his points haul. Worst of all, Vettel is still a worse investment than Button or Massa.

42 point lead! Sa-weet

The funny thing is that I originally came up with a line up based on Vettel but didn't use it when I saw that NeilF1 came up with the same team.

FUN FACT: If you didn't pick Alonso, you're not in the top 3. If you didn't pick Rosberg you're not in the top 8. But if you didn't pick Raikkonen, you're not in the top 45!

Your Japan update is here

lol thanks, I updated the sheet but forgot to post the results.

And if you picked the new WDC points leader (Vettel), you're not in the top 25

Sauber and Force India could be the deciding factor in this thing...

Dizlexik is right on the leaders' gearboxes! An 8 point spread with 3 races to go! Awesome!

dizlexik has closed the gap down to just 3 points to Mario and Jonny!

This is where the real championship is It all depends on how well the inter team battles in Sauber, Force India and maybe even Toro Rosso that will determine this year's champion(s).

Here's your updated data for 18 races of stats



Teams with Mercedes engines have seen the biggest drop-off from last year, with their overall haul down over 100 points. With the midfield being so competitive, Ferrari are barely squeezing a profit vs. last year, and Red Bull and McLaren are both down on points. The standout performance? Lotus has more profit that all the other teams put together! That's largely down to Raikkonen, who is the most profitable driver by far with 165 points. Sauber is 2nd most improved, with Williams close behind Sauber.

And despite leading the constructors championship, Red Bull is the worst possible investment, with Vettel costing 97.8 points more than he is worth right now.

Results from the USGP are in! We have a new leader with 1 point separating the top 3!

And DIZLEXIK finally takes the lead with Hulkenburg scoring some good points!

Stay tuned this weekend for the season finale when we will have either one or two champions!

Wow, this is close. And some very good scores in here.

Still waiting for someone to pick the perfect combination though

Well done dizlexik! You are the 2012 world champion

Excellent championship battle.

Landia, lol it was close he was only about 30 points off maximum!
