So if hypothetically Vergne would have replaced Webber for the 2012 season he would cost 258 points??
And Petrov gets only 5 cost because he moved to Caterham?


I think it's as good a system as any. Do you think Vergne should have been free of charge?


The cost system is always a little tricky for something like this. For the most part I think it's all pretty reasonable. Caterham/Williams should probably be more than Hispania/Marussia, just to reflect the fact that they're more likely to score the odd point, but eh, it's no big deal. Besides, it's the same for everyone, so what does it really matter?

It's still very unlikely that Caterham will score any points. Todays cars are bulletproof. You have Force India, Sauber, STR, Mercedes, Lotus, Ferrari, Mclaren and Red Bull. Form them the worst team (STR) scored 41 points. Then you have HRT, Williams, Marussia and Caterham that together scored only 5 points.

Oooooohhhh!!! Fun Game!

My Picks:

455 total points
Hamilton
Rosberg
Kobayashi
Kovaleinen
Raikkonen
Di Resta
Vergne
Glock
Maldonado
De la Rosa

Hamilton's a bargain this year and Merc looks to be on the upswing so I went with Nico. I feel the Saubers might make some noise this season so I bought Kobi. Looking forward to seeing who wins this!

Seems like a lot of fun! :)

Infidelity's Picks
1. McLaren: Lewis Hamilton: 227
2. Mercedes: Nico Rosberg: 89
3. Lotus: Kimi Raikkonen: 36
4. Force India: Paul Di Resta: 27
5. Scuderia Torro Rosso: Daniel Ricciardo: 15
6. Williams: Bruno Senna: 5
7. Sauber: Kamui Kobayashi: 30
8. Caterham: Heikki Kovalainen: 5
9. Marussia: Timo Glock: 5
10. Hispania: Pedro De la Rosa: 5

227+89+36+27+15+5+30+5+5+5=444

Four Hundred and Forty Four Points!
Hmm 56 spare points... I feel like a total cheapskate!
If only I could have two drivers from the same team....I've got a bad feeling my selections are going to cannibalise each other for points.
I feel like I shouldn't even list Marussia and Hispania on principle - but who knows - another 2005 USGP might occur.
FYI: I'm thinking Alexa has the winning selections!

Best of luck all!

I ought to disqualify you for choosing my line up!

Anyway I will be closing entries by 0130 GMT 16/03/2010 (ie 6 and a half hours away from this post). So people still have time to input their selections or make changes, however I've locked the spreadsheet so you will have to post your selections here.

Interesting competition! My picks:

McLaren Hamilton 227
Mercedes Schumacher 76
Lotus Raikkonen 36
Lotus Grosjean 37
Force India Hulkenberg 42
Force India Di Resta 27
Sauber Perez 14
Toro Rosso Ricciardo 15
Williams Maldonado 5
Williams Senna 5
Caterham Kovalainen 5
Caterham Petrov 5

Total points tally: 494.

The above drivers aren't the ones I like the most, and they don't represent who I think will win the title (probably Vettel again); my picks are purely based on the point system being used (and who can make the biggest gains proportional to their points value before the season starts).

Only one driver per team allowed I'm afraid.
