Massa???? Bill you got to be kidding---the only way he could win, the stewards would have to DQ or add 25 sec penalities to all the rest of the competitors. I'm not saying they won't, if fact, it is probably very possible...... :barf:

This pic from last year makes it look like Vettel finally got himself a decent barber.

Sorta looks like he just saw a girl naked for the first time too.

If I could be so bold as to float a proposal for next year - how's bout a point for picking quali also? And maybe scale the 5 pts to allow a bit for finishing position - 6 for first, 5 for second and 4 for third.
I've nailed a coupla qualis and keep getting a fiver for picking third right. First part is cool and all, but I feel kinda weak limping in on the thirds...
Just me 2c.

Let's see what the contestants think. I'm not opposed to the idea.

Not sure what that's worth in this economy.

P.S. - Looks like Ferrari "team orders" helped Larry and I get the hat-trick!!

Will update the points. Curious to see the standings.

I'd be up for some variation on Larry's proposal. I like the idea of points awarded for quali.

Couldn't update last night due to website being down but now it's up. Leading the pack........the creator of this game and in 2nd tied with William Chen?? The current keeper of the game. The one race I needed the hat trick and I got it. But it turns out, that those that didn't pick, I re-use their last race's picks. And it turns out those haven't picked in a while and it so happens to be they chose last, the same guys on the podium so there were at least 5 with the hat trick just on re-use alone.
