OK, just a tad pi$$ed off - put my picks in, but not recorded............

Not over until the slightly overweight female warbles though, so as in Arnie's words "I will be back"!!

[Terry]

Excuses.........................

[pharvey]

^ Have to get them in early........

[PeteC]

If you should forget to hit the button at the bottom that records your picks, you won't get an email confirming them. Good thing to remember.....no email, picks were not recorded.

[PeteC]

Went to the site and the below greeted me. At first I thought Pharvey bribed or threatened the Superbru staff....but then I realized they used his one and only default for the season. So, we have a new order on the podium going into the next race. Pete

"What if I forget to make my picks?

The first time this happens, you will be allocated a default pick of the race grid. You will not qualify for EBP or pole position scoring. For subsequent missed races, you will earn no points."

So - pharvey gets away with another crime.....................

[pharvey]

Whahahahahahahahahahaha.....

[PeteC]

Someone may think, so in advance....I have no intention of deleting Richard's name. Let it ride for the season out of respect, and that he enjoyed playing in the pool each year. I'm not sure but he may have played the F1 pool more than any other on the forum.

Perhaps next year if we continue with a pool, we can name it the Richard Sabin Memorial FI Pool. We'll see then. Pete

PS: Practice 1 and 2 in Spain starting shortly.

[PeteC]

Nico Rosberg beats Lewis Hamilton in Spain practice

Sameo, sameo IMO. Hamilton 50-50 to win practice #2 but if, or if not...will qualify #1. We'll see....
