What happens if, let's say, Schumacher retires and I've placed him tenth but there are so many retirees that he is "Not Classified" in 11th?

Then he has finished outside of the top ten and you won't score any points for him.

So only point scorers count?

Yes, that's correct. It's just easier that way; that's how the old motorsport website competition worked, and I'm not inclined to change it.

Anyway, here's the latest entry form; it's for one of my favourite races of the year, apart from the early starts: the Japanese Grand Prix. The deadline is midnight on Thursday. Good luck :)

I was missing a couple of entries this week; greatkingrat's picks were carried over (and he came second with them), while tubeguru didn't score anything as his picks were already carried over last time around.

It was a good race, as I have come to expect from Suzuka, though it wasn't a classic. Great to see Button taking the victory. As for our predictions, there were some high scores, including the highest of the whole season from scrxisi, who scored 171 points to extend his lead. Actually, the overall standings were very well reflected in this round, with the top six players getting the top six scores, in the correct order. The full results and standings are available here.

The next round is South Korea in just one week's time, so the next deadline is as soon as this coming Thursday. The entry form is open already.

I like the fact that EVERYONE chose Vettel to win the race!

I got the correct top 4, but not in the right order! :D

Yes, despite Vettel's dominance, it's quite unusual for us all to have picked him as the winner. Usually Andi is the one person who tries something different - this time he didn't, and so of course Vettel won :P

Now you've said that everyone will pick someone else!

I don't see how my saying it should make a difference; everyone's picks for the whole season are freely available to view.

When is the next GP? Not this weekend is it?

It is very much this weekend, which means the deadline is tomorrow (consider this to be a reminder, everyone).
