Post by Royale Ranch »

Welcome, to the world of racing... ahem, car racing, or more specifically:

Welcome to the world of Formula One Racing.


Yes, Yes, I know it's not horse related - BUT: this competition will give you the opportunity to win a decent cash price on HWO.




A quick background:
"Formula One (F1) is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and owned by the Formula One Group. The FIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950." - Wikipedia

Every couple of weeks, a grand prix takes place at a different venue around the world. 10 teams, with 20 drivers all from varying nationalities. This year, there are 4 remaining races left.



The Competition:

So, over the duration of the next three months, while these four races are running, I'm running a series of events, 1 event per race. the goal? to predict the winner(s). It's your job to do as much research (or none at all) to predict - or guess - the winner(s).
[HINT: Google: "Formula One" or "F1" to find more info. plus, i've inculded a list of all the drivers below
