Sweet. Any bonus cookies for calling qualifying?

Actually I too was going to go with Robert in 2nd but I figured the Ferraris would be faster on a high-speed Circuit such as Canada. But man BMW almost had a "Pole" on "pole" for the 2nd time this year! But damn Englishman found 6ths more! Should be a fun race....and as Bob B. mentioned it's on FOX channel Replay on Speed mid-week. So basically no pre-race stuff on FOX.Larry Andrews wrote:Sweet.

Whew! Glad you reminded me it's on Fox. That woulda sucked!

Fortunately, the production is the same as all of the rest of the stuff on Speed.Chuck Fowler wrote: unwatchable
So far, a great race.
Edit: A truly great race. There's a couple of guys that probably won't get as many votes in the next coupla weeks...

Re: 2008 F1 Podium Picker Challenge: Canadian Grand Prix (Rd 7)
My complaint about Fox is that late in the race they cut away too much. Five laps of racing, commercials that cover two laps; rinse and repeat. And the promotional graphics that cover the FOM feed. I'm sure everyone who's a fan of Family Guy knows it's on tonight. Not quite as bad as last year, but still ...
Fox has the next three races also, France, Germany, Britain. France is 10 a.m. to Noon on the West coast.

The race coverage wasn't that bad. The lack of pre-race coverage is a little annoying, but when they cut the post race interviews short for an infomercial I was pissed.

But results are....<drum roll please>
1. Robert Kubica - Petronas BMW Sauber (then rinse and repeat)
2. Nick Heidfeld - Petronas BMW Sauber (then rinse and repeat)
3. David Coultard - Red Bull Renault
'NUFF SAID! Will post our points results in a few.

It was pretty much like last year. Speed's broadcast team, since it's owned by Fox; still many commercial interruptions.Chuck Fowler wrote:wow, what a fun race to watch. Fox wasn't as bad as i had expected. and how about that Kimi Karma...

Something seems fishy with the points standings. Not like I already calculated it or anything... }:)

If you notice your picks are incorrect let me know but basically not too many people moved up the charts or moved at all because they all were riding the "DERAILED" Ferrari Bandwagon!!
