Oh poo! I made my prediction late because we were in Turkey and I was busy looking a fairy houses in Capadocia. By the time Mr.VS remembered to remind me I'd missed the cut. :(

Watched the race last night - yawn...

As Pete quite rightly said, Monaco is all about grid positioning so I think I'll intentionally forego the early bonus this time. Mind you if it's wet, then anything can happen.

We have a three way tie at the top now with RZR, JJ and Lindosfan at 70 points. Both RZR and Vital Spark picked the correct winner this race.

Next up is the Turkish Grand Prix in two weeks time on May 30. Good luck. Pete :cheers:

Lindosfan pulls one clear at the top at 84 points. Six of us picked Hamilton to win this one. Now it's across the pond to Canada on June 13. Good luck!

Now, I'm going to show my ignorance. What is the difference between an F1 car and an Indy car? Looks about the same in dimension, design etc. I have no idea. Pete :cheers:

Lindosfan remains on top with 96 points this week, and VitalSpark had the best race with 13 points. 9 of us were on the Hamilton bandwagon to win, and he did. :D

Back to Spain again for the European GP on June 26. Good Luck! Pete :cheers:

Superguru must be having problems as no results published yet for the EU GP. I'll do a summary when their site is updated. Pete :cheers:

PS: At quick glance I can say though that I think RZR is the only one to pick the winner this race.

Tell me about it :? . I started searching the Sports News pages to find out why Vettel had been disqualified, and Hamilton promoted to winner. Then I realised that I was looking at the Canadian results :oops: .

Mods, if this is in the wrong place please move it:

It says a lot for the safety systems in place, both in the cars and the circuit. :thumb:

Anybody else feel like I do about the commentary by Gary Anderson? Very knowledgeable, but the way he puts it over just grates on my nerves, and completely spoils the show. :cuss:
