Welcome to Round 17 of murf enterprises' 2011 Formula 1 predictions game

Despite my appalling backlog on getting the results out and Vettel winning that other title, the Predictions comp continues to march on. This is round 4 of the FlyAway Cup and comes with a slightly less silly deadline of 9:30am saturday.

Each race will be a separate competition where the winner gets 25 points towards the season competition, second 18, third 12, down to 1 for 10th just like the real thing.
Everybody is welcome to have a go. All you have to do is predict the top 10 finishers and you score points depending on how accurate you are. Best man wins. Full points details etc in the Series thread.

As well as the main championship, we will again be tallying total scores over all 19 races for the Form Crown and having 2 sidecomps.
Simple picking rules
- pick your top 10
- stick to the template
- use driver surnames only
- No witty comments / smileys on the predictions lines as these are copied directly into the spreadsheet
- use the correct spelling

BBC Driver List

Please double check your spelling and remove comments or the automated spreadsheet WILL steal your points!
IF I spot your mistake I will give you a nod to change it. Yellow card system - just one warning/nod each. The spreadsheet has been refined since last year so badly spelt picks will get 0 points.

DEADLINE / TIMETABLE
Entries must be in by start time of first qualifying session - see below. Edits and tweaks allowed until that final deadline.

RESULTS

A win this weekend for chrismar, thanks largely to an excellent 1-2-3-4 quadcast. Good scores also from tommymooney and Arabian Knight for their podiums and MvL just missing out on the champers despite being just 10 off the win.

2 tommymooney 160
3 Arabian Knight 156
4 Moist von Lipwig 153
5 murf 143

10 Lone Ranger 134

Surprised 126

No tables (yet) as I am behind on other results. Thought I'd do this week's first as it was fresh.

Many apologies for getting behind on previous GPs and thanks for sticking by the comp

Only 12 entries and I still manage to conjure up a non points finish

Can you blame your HRT?

I made a last minute team change and finished last

Woohoo. Probably my first win for a while (unless i have won the last two). Shame I can't retain my Fly Away Cup as I forgot to enter one race.
