Predicament Predictions - 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix

[Wizzie]

I think that's the closest anyone's ever come to missing the deadline

Phew! Was it still in time? My computer helpfully crashed on me as I was about to write my post - it was a mad dash to get it up and running again, blurt out a prediction and hit post... hopefully I wasn't on the wrong side of the chequered flag a la Raikkonen!

[DanielPT]

First penalty of the year?!

And its the reigning champion no less...

RAK's safe, Jackanderton posted his predictions for Australia after qualifying, still unless his prediction is incredible, could be an early winner of reject of the race here...

Either way, for the second year in a row, the Malaysian GP has caught out a defending champion. Jackanderton's penalty will probably be decided solely by how I'm feeling when I decide to get around to doing the standings

This is F1, you have to overeact and implement some grid penalty for the next race

Impossible prediction and late submission = a big no no.

[sswishbone]

Bloody hell two penalties in one race, not a good show at all, but with this last prediction it looks like I am wrong for ROTR in here

[RealRacingRoots]

Will anyone get the spread on this race's result? I don't think so.

That is probably one of the best displays of F1 Rejects ineptitude I've ever seen with the average score for this round being around 7

Gotta love wet races. Now, colour me intrigued as to the identity of the forum members who got themselves ROTPPR and IIDOTPP for the first two races...

I'll do it now but give me some time to decide on them first.

[MinardiFan95]

Love the fact that I did better with my half joke predictions in round 1 than my serious predictions in round 2

[IceG]

Could we change the deadline for submission from end of FP2 to start of FP3 please? It would help us old Europeans for flyaway races and those of us who have to go to work

That's why he opens it the Tuesday before.

[IceG]

Ah, I thought we were watching FP1 and FP2 to get an idea of current form - otherwise its just guesswork?

[Ed24]

I would be happy with such a change to the start of FP3, as I'm not always online during Friday practice to update my tips depending on form. A change wouldn't disadvantage anyone. If not, maybe make it more challenging and make it before the start of FP1.

[Shizuka]

I'm good with the change, although I'm always doing it in time.
