Hanging in there - I don't know if it's possible to catch the big money team, as there is no income associated with points accumulated.   ;)

Wehrlein's unfortunate accident gave the whole world a chance to see the underside of a modern F1 car. Flat. Very flat. Like the bottom of a diecast toy.

(I fell asleep again. Just woke up to see the above incident. I'm beginning to think it might be the noise, they sound like droning bees, it's very soporific - bring back the Matra V12!)

And Otto strikes gold again! Well done.

What I'd like to know is, how do the top scorers manage to get 200+ points every time?
Do they have more drivers and teams than anyone else?!

I really don't know - I'm pretty sure at least half of them do a lot more research than I do. I've found that, for me, trusting my hunches has worked better than playing the stats.

4   Flying Burrow Owls   Stephen Mason        94
5   Z Ram W                   Karn Utz                   80

And overall positions:

Pos         Team                 Manager               Pts


1   Team Hawk              Carnut                     1081
2   Cars Going Fast        el_monty                  994

A bit like Vettel behind Hamilton. I didn't watch it all, but is that stop/go penalty all he's going to suffer? Surely there should be a ban of some sort?

I said that at the time surely he must be disqualified for that.  Totally unacceptable.
Hamilton was a bit miffed.  "Only a 10 second stop-go for that? Ridiculous".
And Vettel still finished ahead of Hamilton.  A joke.

It's a dangerous precedent. Every hothead youngster will now think that sort of behaviour is acceptable. IMO a suspension for 2 or 3 races would be appropriate. OK LH was being a tit as usual, but that side-nudge by SV was just malicious. Someone high up in F1 needs to take a positive stand on this.

I had no idea about what happened  because we don't get F1 on Spanish terrestrial TV (only PPV cable). I have just watched the video of Vettel sideswiping Hamilton and I am in shock. What Vettel did was utterly unconscionable. I fully agree with nicanary's position on the matter.

I dread to think what the Hamilton "fanboyz" are saying on dedicated F1 websites. This one is going to run and run.

It's these damn predictions; I got NONE of them right!
The highest points score this weekend was 200; I can only think that guy got all 7 of his predictions right.  Trouble is, it's really guesswork...
