As was mentioned in last year's Season discussion thread, there was some appetite for a Season long PEEHS for the 2023 Formula 1 season. Pretty sure this will be the inaugural F1 PEEHS event for 2p2, so there is a place in the history books available.

If you have never watched F1 before, don't be put off entering. There are only 20 drivers and 10 teams. Even guessing at every answer you'll be likely to end up with multiple correct answers.

Copying KrazyKris' PEEHS explanation below for any who have never participated before - hope he doesn't mind.

I will not be running any kind of entry/wager but if any of you do want to with someone holding funds in escrow be my guest.

The format will be similar to the popular NFL PEEHS - 30 questions, 22 for each race throughout the season (except Bahrain), 8 regarding end-of-season results.

I would like to enter myself, but only if someone would kindly authenticate my entry. If not, happy to just run.

RESEARCH IS 100% ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED AND EXPECTED

SCORING
This is PEEHS (and only PEEHS). The winner(s) will have the lowest total score after all 25 questions have been scored and revealed. PEEHS rewards those of you that submit correct answers guessed by as few entrants as possible.

Once again this year, incorrects will be scored as (SHEEP score for that question) + (# of different correct answers submitted for that question). A question's SHEEP can be correct, incorrect, or in the event of multiple SHEEPs, both.

For those of you who want to better understand scoring, the best way is probably to look at how KrazyKris does it with Week 1 of the 2022 NFL PEEHS.

ENTRIES
Anyone can play simply by sending me a PM with your entry. I accept both numbered and non-numbered entries, but please single-space your submission.

Given the close proximity to the start of the season, I am going to make a slightly unconventional change and have the deadline for entries as Green light for FP1 at the Saudi Arabian grand prix. This will give people more time to submit entries, and for a little fun allow people to use the Bahrain race as a gauge for their answers.
FP1 in Saudi begins at 13:30 GMT - entries must be in my PM inbox by that point.


1) NO NEW ENTRIES OF ANY KIND once FP1 begins in Saudi Arabia. For simplicity I will also not allow any adjustments to answers for following week questions after the deadline either. Adjustments can be made up to the deadline after initial submission.

2) If you submit close to (but before) the opener begins, and I respond to you after the deadline if you need to edit any answers for clarity. You still have the chance to edit and resubmit for any answers other than the Week 1 question.

All entries will be locked and stand as submitted once Q1 for the Saudi GP begins at 17:00 GMT.

All questions are for the 2023 F1 season, for the current schedule as it stands as of 27/02. If there are adjustments made to the schedule, then I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it.

Tie breaker question: How many points will the 2023 World Champion have.

Reveals will be done ITT in the 1-2 days following a race. Stats will be taken from the official F1 website, statsf1.com and Reddit (for destructors championship). In the event that there is tie, the closest answer to the tie-breaker question will win.

That should cover everything! GLHF

Sweet!

I wonder if anyone on the grid ever flew for them or did the Paris-Dakar?

I didn't see this until very late. You should have PM-ed all contributors of the F1 thread and make them aware of this game

Deadline is FP1 at the Saudi GP, so everyone has about another week and a half to get entries together. Good idea about PM'ing people form the F1 thread though... I will do that.

Will in this week

inned and therefore bump

Thanks buddy.

Have only 4 entries so far, so could make the game a little flat. Will try and drum up some more interest this week and spreading the word with other users is always appreciated!

Just submitted. Aiming to not finish last.

Submitted

Revel #1!

We had 8 Entries, could mean we get a number of tie-breaks (don't forget to submit your tie-break answers if you didn't already).


#1 (Race 2) - Name any driver that reached Q3 in the 2022 Saudi GP, that will reach Q3 in the 2023 Saudi GP

Incorrects:



Max Verstappen is our only incorrect for this week. Mechanical gremlins in Q2 resulted in Max not making it to Q3, bringing his 30 streak of Q3 appearances to an end, and the first time not making it there since Russia 2021.

Max Verstappen - 2
Paasei
Unit18

Correct answers:

The first week's SHEEP answer was Fernando Alonso, qualifying in 3rd to back up his 7th place qualifying in 2022.

Fernando Alonso - 3
Hammerhands
Dutch101
esad

We then have 3 aces for week 1 (although I suspect we'll be getting a few aces in this game!)

Carlos Sainz - 1
sixfour

Esteban Ocon - 1
Mattew88

George Russel - 1
kutuz_off

Other correct answers could have been:
Sergio Perez (who made it a P1 on both occasions)
Pierre Gasly

I will summarise results in Week 1 (and maybe 2) so that anyone not familiar can get a grasp for scoring. Incorrect answers receive a score that is equal to the SHEEP answer (Alonso, 3) plus the total correct answers (ALO, SAI, OCO, RUS, PER, GAS - 6)

#1 (Race 2) - Name any driver that reached Q3 in the 2022 Saudi GP, that will reach Q3 in the 2023 Saudi GP

Carlos Sainz - 1
sixfour

Esteban Ocon - 1
Mattew88

George Russel - 1
kutuz_off


Incorrects
Max Verstappen - unit18 (= 9)
Max Verstappen - paasei (= 9)

Next revel is in two weeks time:

#2 (Race 3) - Name any driver that will have completed 90%+ racing laps by the checkered flag at race 3, the Australian GP (Note, drivers that are lapped complete less laps than the race total)

There are already 4 incorrect answers for this question. Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc's retirements in Bahrain mean that they are already out of contention, along with Lance Stroll and Alex Albon who were not able to complete a full race distance in Saudi Arabia.

Esteban Ocon will need to make sure he sees the checkered flag on the lead lap to ensure he falls into the correct answer bucket.

for **** sake

Awesome! Where's your entry IHaveThreePair?

I decided not to do one in the interest of fairness - honestly it's kind of just as fun running it!

Sorry for the delay on the revel, was on vacation last week.

#2 (Race 3) - Name any driver that will have completed 90%+ racing laps by the checkered flag at race 3, the Australian GP (Note, drivers that are lapped complete less laps than the race total)

Incorrects:



Only one Incorrect for Q2 also. George Russel was on for 100% race distances coming into Australia, but a PU on lap 17 means he only completes 75% total race distance.

George Russell - 1
Paasei

Corrects:

There were 14 drivers that completed over 90% race distance so far. 5 of those have completed full race distance, finishing on the lead lap of each GP.

This weeks SHEEP was Valtteri Bottas, who despite being lapped in Saudi finished on the lead lap in Aus and Bahrain to give him a 99.4% race completion.

Valtteri Bottas - 2
Dutch101
Mattew88

ACES

As per before we have a number of aces.

Nyck De Vries - 1
Hammerhands

Lando Norris - 1
sizfour

Max Verstappen - 1

Lewis Hamilton - 1

Fernando Alonso - 1
