Prediction Based Game
The difference between the driver & team fantasy game and the prediction based game is that participants must predict which drivers will finish in the top 10 (scoring) positions for a particular race, with no restriction of budget. Many variants of the game abound and usually include having to predict Pole Position as well as Pole Time.
The points systems are based on awarding those with the most accurate prediction, so predicting a driver accurately or "Spot-On" will result in more points than having made a prediction which is one or more positions out ("+/-1 Pos"). Points for achieving a certain number of drivers in the top 10 (even if out of order) is also sometimes included ("Risk Bonus Points").
Dependent on the game the points for predicting drivers are either fixed at the start of the season or have a scalable "Race Class". The latter is to ensure that predicting a driver from a bottom team (low class) to finish on the podium is worth more points than predicting a top classed driver to finish on the podium - and hence creates a "Risk" / "Strategy" decision to be made when entering a prediction. In a few games the "Race Class" of the driver is even altered race to race based on actual F1 year to date results.
As with the drivers & teams-only version of the game, the winning entrant is the one who accumulates the highest score at the end of the competition - usually run over a full F1 season.

Famous quotes containing the words prediction, based and/or game:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
