Peteris (@Spicais666) racked up the highest score in the Singapore round of the Predictions Championship.

It was a particularly impressive win given this was his first appearance in the championship after he joined the site on Friday. Correctly predicting the pole sitter and the top four finishers earned Peteris 31 points and a prize of a 1975 Autocourse eBook.

A two-way tie for second and third place was won by @Toddbarden, who moves up to fourth in the championship and claimed a Grand Prix Heroes DVD as a prize. Third place and a PJ Tierney F1 poster was won by Fernando (@Alonso2012).

Sebastian Vettel was the overwhelming favourite for pole position, picked by two-thirds of players, but he was beaten to it by Lewis Hamilton. However over half correctly picked Vettel to win the race.

@Zantex remains in the lead of the championship and pulled a further point ahead. See the updated points standings in full here:
