Chilton handed Austria grid penalty for Bianchi clash

Max Chilton will drop three places on the grid for the Formula 1 Grosser Preis von Osterreich 2014 in two weeks' time after being penalised for his lap one crash with Marussia team mate Jules Bianchi.

The pair headed into Turn 3 side by side, but as they exited the right hander Chilton lost the rear of his car and ended up sliding into Bianchi, who was pitched into a heavy crash with the wall on the exit of Turn 4 as a result.

Bianchi retired on the spot, with Chilton limping to a halt one turn later to complete a double-retirement for the team, who only two weeks ago in Monaco scored their maiden F1 points.

It was the first DNF of Chilton's Formula One career. The Briton had recorded 25 straight finishes prior to Canada.

POINTS: 1st - 3
2nd - 5
3rd - 10

HOW IT WORKS: the aim of the game is simply predict who comes where in the race (top3). A total of 18 points can be won on a race day. If you get winner and and 3rd place right but 2nd wrong you get 13 points same if you get 1 correct. eg. 2nd you get 5 points. If a driver wins the race and you said he would come 2nd or 3rd no points would be awarded. Same if he came in another position, and you predicted that wrong. A table will be posted up every race weekend. The point scoring system will change once the cars become more competitive. Everyone will say a merc 1,2 so it won't be close or fun.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PREDICTIONS: send an email to f14lifeblog@gmail.com or message the Facebook page to submit your predictions. You have until lights out to make them. If you submit them when the race has started they won't count. So be quick! like the Mercedes.

THE PRIZE: the winner of the league will win themselves a admin place on the F1 4 LIFE page along side JT, AE & MW. If you don't want to be an admin you are welcome to participate anyway. We may also come up with some other prize if it helps.
