actually took note of how boring the race was and want to do something about it immediately

Apparently "something" need only be a spot of rain.  Which means if F1 ever returns to the US, Seattle would have to be on the short list of likely locales.

The Flying Burrow Owls would like to announce that during this last race we outscored a theoretical team composed of former champions Schumacher and Alonso driving Ferrari Chassis & Engines.

Of course, since none of the Autopuzzles competitors fielded such a theoretical team, this point is largely academic. :)

Onward!

No doubt. You should run an incomplete team this week just to flaunt your insurmountable lead. :)

How's everyone doing with the "bets" one can place each race? I'm batting around .400. Wondering if instead of trying to pick the top 3 I'd be better served by picking one top driver for all 3 spots, to at least get SOME money. Getting the top 3 in the wrong order doesn't do much good. :)

The bets are a crapshoot.  This is my chart on my bets.


race    pole    1st    2nd    3rd    dnf    question 1    question 2    question 3    gains
Monaco    VET    VET    ALO    HAM    CHD    Y: HAM in top 3 (Q)    N: STR points    N: ALG > 1    400.000
Spain    VET    VET    ALO    HAM    CHD    N: MSC in top 3 (Q)    N: WIL points    N: LIU > 1    1.200.000
China    VET    VET    ALO    HAM    GLO    N: WEB in top 3 (Q)    N: WIL points    N: LIU > 1    1.600.000
Malaysia    VET    ALO    HAM    ROS    DIG    Y: SUT in top 10 (Q)    N: TOR points    N: PET > 1    1.200.000

It has been brought to my attention that the Flying Burrow Owls can't possibly gain ground on the team above us if we choose the EXACT SAME DRIVERS, ENGINE, CHASSIS, AND FUEL.

Since I'm rather attached to our RBR equipment, I would appreciate it if Conrero Squadra Corse would kindly modify their team setup for the coming race.

I hear Virgin/HRT are both due for an upset. Just sayin'.

 ;D

The Conrero Squadra Corse will only decide after saterday's 3rd practice what the team will do.
At least until then, the team remains the #1 of the Autopuzzles subleague.  ;D
Moreover, the team is rather confident that, even when it applies some bad changes, it can still finish first thanks to it's lead of 469 points on the second placed team, Flying Owls.
Nevertheless, Conrero Squadra Corse wishes success to all other teams.

I'm in both leagues. Whichever instantiation of the Flying Burrow Owls performs better is the one I'm neglecting :)

NEW RULE:
Drivers wishing to continue their employment with the Flying Burrow Owls must compete using ALL FOUR wheels. While there may arguably be some weight savings realized by shedding a wheel shortly after leaving the pits; studies have shown this results in dramatically increased lap times.
