Round 2: Malaysian Grand Prix

Hey guys, couple things. I calculated the points from last weeks race. Most everyone got 8 or 9 points. I can't post the full results for the same reason last years results don't work (see below). I posted the graph below. The lowest running driver, and driver with fewest completed laps are determined by the FIA results on the official F1 page. The cars out in the first corner has pretty much become cars out on the first lap. I also wanted to add a pick for how many cars drop out of the entire race.
I have no idea how we're going to determine Spins. If any of you have any ideas, let me know. Or if you want to replace it with a different pick, also let me know. Here's the results from qualy.

Oh, Jon I need your season predictions.



Tryin to figure out what happened to the results from last years picks. Didn't realize the link was broken. RIT migrated our stuff to some new servers. I'll got talk to someone next week and get that figured out. Till then, make some picks!!!

New 2008 Points System

Hey guys, Luke and I talked about how we wanted to do the picks this year. This is what we came up with. Let me know if you guys like it, we can revise after the first race. Point values are in parenthesis.

Top Three Drivers (4, 3, 2) and Manufacturers (3, 2, 1) Manufacturer positions determined by total points accrued.
Fast Lap (2)
Pits Stops (1)
Best of the Rest (2)
Driver who Spins the most (1)
Lowest Running Driver (1)
Driver with Fewest completed laps (1)
Car taken out at first corner (1)

Total (24)

We also thought it might be fun to make some season long predictions that can be bonus points at the end.

Drivers Championship (5)
Manufacturers Championship (5)

Two other Predictions (3)

What driver won't complete the season? How will Bourdais do? What disaster will happen at the night race in Singapore? Most DNF's, fewest? Be creative...

Round 17: Brazilian Grand Prix

Hey Everyone, so it's the LAST RACE!! The championship is really exciting and close and so is our championship. I have updated the points, and as you can see everyone is in a close battle for their position. I haven't seen the end of qually yet so I'm not posting results but I'll be up tomorrow, so make your picks, and let the best man win!

Round 16: Chinese Grand Prix

Hey guys. I haven't seen qualy yet so you'll have to find the results for yourself for now. I'll post 'em a little later today. Just wanted to get the post up. Happy picking

Round 15: The Japanese Grand Prix

Remember MCLAREN WILL SCORE NO MANUFACTURER POINTS, and Nico Rosberg has a 10 spot grid penalty for changing his engine!!!


Sorry guys, I'm really late again. I think most of the late submissions will be accepted unless someone really has a problem with that. Mine were late as well, so I'm in with the rest of you. Hope your all watching this one live as it's on in half an hour.

Round 14: The Belgian Grand Prix

I updated the picks from Monza. It looks to be a good close race to the finish. I figured I'd put the post up plenty early this week, I'll add qually results later. For now, enjoy one of my favorite videos. A couple laps onboard Mika Hakinnen as he sets up a pass on Schumi at Spa.

Round14: Italian Gran Prix

Sorry, keep forgetting to put the posts up. I did update all the points pages though. It's getting close.

Round 12: Turkish Grand Prix

More to come, just wanted to get the post up cuz I always seem to get drunk at the worst time...

Round 11: The Hungarian Grand Prix

Hey guys, sorry I posted this so late today. Hope everybody saw the points update, if not check the last post or just the points page. Remember, these are just the qualy times, Alonso was demoted to 6th place for impeding Hamilton. Make sure you take that into account when making your pics. Oh, and Tim, don't forget to pick the FL, PS, etc.

By the way, if any of you are interested. I competed in my first karting race last weekend. Had to start from the back, cuz i'm a newb, but I passed 2 people in the race. I would say that makes me a legitimate race driver. Who knows, maybe someday you'll be picking me for the win...

Points Update: 7/26/07

What's up guys. I finally got around to updating the points from the last three rounds. In case your wondering on the main page, the highlighted cells are the top scores for the round, and scores in red are for rounds where no picks were submitted. Half points are awarded based on the previous races picks.
On each race's page, correct picks are highlighted yellow, and the winner is highlighted in green. A red cell underneath your name means no picks were submitted for that race.

I was able to find the speed trap figures thanks to the helpful people over at the SpeedTV forums. There is a FIA media site with official press releases for all of the timing & scoring. It's pretty neat, has lots of information. If you want you can check it out here.

Tim - for this last race (Germany) you only picked 1-8, and not the Manufacturere, Fast Lap, etc. Did you just forget to enter them or not make them? If so I can take them from your last race.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Round 10: The European Grand Prix

Wow, what a shame huh? I missed the end though, stupid DVR shut off early. Ah well, here's the qualy results. Good luck.

Round 9: The British Grand Prix

Hey guys, how bout that Hamilton. Hey, I don't have any picks from the last race from either Tex, Jon or Cran. I don't want to screw you guys cuz I didn't get the post up, send me something, but no cheating.

Round 8: The French Grand Prix

Hey guys, sorry I didn't make the post yesterday. I completely forgot, and by the time you guys started calling i was already so drunk and tired I passed out without making the post. But hey, thanks to FOX's wonderful tape delay, the race hasn't even aired yet even though it's probably about over by now. So I can't really go find qually results cuz I don't wanna see any race results.
So here's a list from qualy

1 Massa
2 Hamilton
3 Raikonnen
4 Kubica
5 Fisichella
6 Kavalainen
7 Heidfeld
8 Trulli
9 Rosberg
10 Alonso
11 Ralf
12 Button
13 Barichello
14 Webber
15 Speed
16 Coulthard
17 Liuzzi
18 Wurz
19 Sato *
20 Davidson
21 Albers
22 Sutil

* Sato had a 10 place grid penalty from Indy



So, sorry again, but post something up, email me, or call me before 12. Just get those picks out there

Points Updated 6/21/2007

Hey guys,

I updated the picks points through Indianapolis. What a great time, I hope you guys all enjoyed yourselves as well. And Luke, I hope you got to see the race. Anyway, I you guys take a look at the points page I also added a graph of your cumulative points. Its kind of nice to see where you stand compared to everyone else and how much ground you have to make up. It's still anybodies game with 50 points available at each round. Let me know what you guys think, post any comments or suggestions. The next race is in a week and a half, let's see if Hamy can keep this up.

Round 7: The United States Grand Prix

Well boys, it's that time of year again. The flowers are blooming, the baby birds are chirping, and the Formula 1 engines are at full song as they scream through the brickyard at 200 mph.

I'm not exactly sure how the picks are going to work out for this race as we are all going to be at the track, (except for luke). I don't know if the hotel will have internet access, so who knows if I'll be able to post the qualy results. If I get picks from most people, I guess we'll go ahead and include the race. If most of you can't make picks we may just exclude it. But go ahead and try and get them to me any way possible.

Tex and Tim, hopefully we'll see you guys there. I'll prolly give you a call thursday and see if you wanna get together one of the evenings.

Well, everybody have a great time, and hopefully 8 cars don't crash in the first corner this year!!!

Points Updated 6/12/2007

Hey Guys,

Crazy canada race huh? Attrition, penalties, disqualifications, maiden wins, and who thought they would see the day when a Super Aguri would pass Fernando Alonso. So I guess I've been slackin a little bit with updating the points. I finally got around to it, figured it needed to be done before we all head to Indy. Check your points over for any mistakes. I did change something, previously I allowed your pick to carry over for 2 weeks in case you were not able to make any for a week, it wouldn't hurt too much. However this did not seem fair to people making picks, so for any week you fail to submit picks, you will recive half the points that your previous picks earn you. Let me know if anyone has any problems with this. Weeks in which no picks were submitted are denoted by the red shading.

Don't give up guys, I'm not winning by that much. You all still have a chance to catch me. I will make a post for Indy before I leave, but will be flexible for this race. Get your picks to me any way you can. And now for your pleasure here are some pics of Kubica's crash, (don't worry, he's fine)

Round 6: Canadian Grand Prix

I'm working on the results or the last couple races now. I'll have those up soon. Here's the qualy results and a race map.

Round 5: Monaco Grand Prix

So I here there's an 80 % chance of rain tomorrow, and when in rained saturday morning Ardian Sutil was the fastest man out there. So don't be afraid to pick him for the win tomorrow, he's my favorite :P

Round 4: The Spanish Grand Prix

Round 3: Grand Prix of Bahrain

In a hurry, I'm late for work. So heres the qually results. I'll post a pic or two and the results later. Good luck guys
