Who Wants To Play A Game For 2024?
Now our good friend @DownForce ran a picks and predictions game in 2022 which I for one really enjoyed. Well then he got busy in real life (how very dare he?) and that was the end of his game for the forseeable. I thought if I want to play that kind of game, do something about it and start one myself. So that is what I've done and I'd like to see if anyone else might potentially want to play.
The rules are pretty simple, each race I will ask you to pick or predict the same sort of things as follows:
Who will start the race from 13th place on the grid? Borrowed from @DownForce of course
Who will be the last driver on the starting grid? (pit lane starts don't count)
Which driver will get the fastest lap?
Who will be the first pointless driver? In other words, who will finish in 11th place?
How many cars will DNF?
Please note, these ideas aren't set in stone, they may change slightly but it gives you the general idea.
If you think you'd like to play please let me know so I have an idea of it's worth bothering to work out scoring and so on for this. It could be a lot of fun hopefully and the prize you win will of course be bragging rights.

Not me, sorry. I'm trying to shake off my interest in F1 again and this time for good; it's a strain on my resources and I don't enjoy it. Probably means I'm not going to play GTP, either.

I've tried the same. Several times. Obviously it was in all cases a failure. I think that ending strong affinity to a sport cannot be forced. Detachment has to be organic in my case. When F1 will be off my mind at least one full day without missing it, then I will know that the end is near and I can live without it. I am not there yet. (Blaming Audi for that.)

Okay I've decided there will also be a bonus prediction each race but they will all be slightly different and some will feature a team, a pair of drivers, a sprint race or something like that. The first bonus is going to be a big one, so you won't want to miss that.
