I quite like that rule. It's like a "Stop/Go" penalty. Very fair 
The results are in.
I will post the odds for Spain soon, plus the rules to a special one off free to enter podium predictor bonus game.
Several players will also need to place a bet of fall foul of rule 6.

Ok for Spain we are betting on a top 6 finish. Your chosen driver to finish anywhere in the top 6 is a win.
AND as a bonus open only to those placing a bet (a 1p bet would do) you can also play the free to enter no money required, podium predictor.
Just name who you think will finish 1st 2nd and 3rd. For all 3 drivers on the podium but in the wrong order wins £25 for all 3 in the correct order wins £50. No other result wins.
So here are the odds For Spain 'top 6 finish' betting. (ignore the colours
)

I can't understand those odds against Massa, but I cannot ignore them either.
So my 10 wotsits go on Massa to finish in the top six in Spain.
My freebie is going to be a bit of a gamble.
Winner: RIC
Second: ALO
Third: VET
(with the Mercs taking each other into the gravel trap at T1
)

Greenlantern101 - a question if I may on the China results... With decimal odds as I understand it 1.25 means 1/4 in old fashioned odds, so a profit of 25 on a bet of 100 on HAM. Not a profit of 125 as you have applied (5/4 in old fashioned parlance).

Sorry mate, I don't think you're as rich as you thought (or I've just made an idiot of myself
)

EDIT:
Oh fiddle sticks.
So decimal odds you don't get the stake back. Fraction odds you do get the stake back.
I didn't know that.
So this alters China only.

Ok fixed it. Thanks jez101 for spotting this. At least its only for race 4 I guess.
Basically those who won in China didn't win as much as they thought. Those that lost, lost just as much as they thought.
So in summary the bookies wins. AND
The corrected results. (showing 'profit' rather than winnings for clarity)
Oops.
Edit.
If anyone who has already placed a bet wishes to change it in light of not being as rich as you thought you were, thank Jez101 for that and post the change below. Cheers.

I HAVE EDITED THE ABOVE POSTS (132 and 133) REGARDING THE ODDS COCK UP. IT WOULD SEEM DECIMAL ODDS YOU DON'T GET THE STAKE BACK AND FRACTION ODDS YOU DO(if you win). SO THIS ERROR WAS FOR CHINAS PAYOUT ONLY.
FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS WE WILL STICK WITH FRACTION ODDS.
Moving swiftly on..
