I think that my strategy for the next race is going to be drivers I would most like to be stuck in a lift with - and Alonso certainly isn't in that category.

Philippe is like a cute little teddy bear, Rubens looks like he need mothering, and Nico is definitely hot. I'll also factor in (after extensive research) average lap times from this race, previous track experience, the race engineer's CV, technical advantages with aerodynamics, and, more importantly, how pretty the car is. :wink:

I have to admit that I dozed off halfway through the race it was so exciting. I do hope that Melbourne can keep me awake...

These seem to be the best sites for research between races. Pete :cheers:

Don't forget the race in Australia this weekend. If they're not sending you a reminder email please let me know. I made my picks this morning and had not received one yet. Pete :cheers:

Thanks for the timely reminder Pete :thumb:
I've mixed my picks up a bit this week, which is no doubt a big mistake. Here's to a more exciting race than the season opener... :cheers:

This will be interesting tomorrow, if Hamilton can manage to come from the 11th place to the podium. As far as I have seen, there are only 3 of 14 HHAD Players who have put Hamilton not on the podium.

Yeah, I hear ya. Fastest practice lap, to this. He also got arrested and his car impounded last night because of burning rubber in his personal car after he left the track. A minor matter but once again put him in the news in the wrong way, and I'm sure bothered him mentally during qualifying. :roll: Pete :cheers:

I felt Red Bull would do well here, that said I regret not putting Webber down for a podium place. Even worse are my position 4-10 predictions... talk about eccentric, not sure what I was thinking when I made them...

Still, this race should be a lot more entertaining than Bahrain..especially with Hamilton doing his best to charge through the field.. :D

An exciting race that I didn't get to see. :( Congratulations to Mr. Bones once again who stays on top. I didn't write down player placings from the first race so don't know if anyone changed rank. 5-3-3-2 at 23-22-21-20 munched in behind Mr. Bones at 24.

Next up Malaysia April 3rd. Can almost guarantee it will be raining. Good luck! Pete :cheers:

It's a shame that you missed it. IMHO it was one of the more exciting races that I've seen thanks to Hamilton trying to make up ground after his pit crew's cock-up.

There seems to be a mistake, because in 10th position they put Rosberg a second time instead of Schumacher. So we all shoukd have 1 point more.
