A lot of last minute deletions of Alonso (I only got on the computer at 12:54. Thankyou BBC text!). A few gambles on Alosno in the lower end of the top 10. Bit of a risk as there are a lot of skodas to trip over.

NO MORE EDITS AFTER 13:00 - WILL BE VERY STRICT TODAY

How is that fair on those of us who work on a Saturday!!

I demand that all re-jigged predictions be void, cheats :twisted:

[b]DEADLINE
Entries must be in by start time of first qualifying session. I think first qualifying starts at 1PM UK time (GMT) on saturday, the sane, standard Eurotime deadline.
Edits allowed until then (you can swap your picks after seeing the friday and first saturday practice sessions etc.) but strictly no edits or entries after that time or you will get the black flag.

Think you'll have to speak to Alonso, Gaz and ask him what he was up to in untimed practice.

I didn't fancy him at all this weekend.

Take your lucky 2 wins and walk off into the distance Ian, you need to show some consistency like my good self!! 8-)

murf · **Posted:** 15 May 2010, 22:07

I see only 1 person* went for Webber to win. Mind you historically only 40% of wins to to the pole man.

Brave of greenman to go for Kubica.... from Alonso!

* = moi, of course

A pile up on the grid and Alonso storms to the front as he starts from the pits......that me race prediction

eagle224 · **Posted:** 16 May 2010, 17:30

I bet Alonso is kicking himself after the move Schumacher did on him at the end of the race ... just wish I'd put Webber first in my list in
instead of 5th, then I'd of had 8 of 10 correct placings.

Edit: 20:00
Just my luck .. just read that Schumacher has been penalised 20 secs for this move but Mercedes are appealing as they thought the race was on again for the final run to the line. I have a feeling this may run for a day or two - the BBC commentators clearly thought the race was on again for the final turns too.

Just watched this on BBCi player and green flags are clearly being waved once the safety car entered the pit lane - these should surely have remained yellow if the race condition was still no overtaking.

Well played Murf. Coming up strongly in the title race. Eagle is still there too.

Out of curiosity, is there a cut off point for appeals ? Mercedes have 48 hours to appeal - they said they will - and then we will have to wait for the outcome. What about if the outcome is not known until two weeks time ? Just a thought.

Hopefully it fails miserably - I had to chuckle, I was nowhere until that incident and then, hey ho, Buemi up to 10th 8-)

Is 2nd good enough for you ? Remind me, Gareth, where did yow finish - I can't be arsed to scroll that far down the page :wink:

Darbyand · **Posted:** 17 May 2010, 20:41

Good comp this...I'm skipping past the table straight to the form guide where I reckon the true test of knowledge shows up.

I'll retract this if I bang in a few 25 pointers.

eagle224 · **Posted:** 18 May 2010, 18:20

Oh well, beaten back two races running due to late incidents ... it can't go on like this forever :twisted:

Mercedes withdraw appeal

Cool - murf wins the Monaco Grand Prix!

What a ridiculous rule it is that Schumacher broke. Why bring in the pace car if it is effectively still out there? Why put the marshalls etc at risk (the incident wasn't cleared)? Why wave green flags?

Anyway, back to the fantasy world. European Cup draw tomorrow.

murf · **Posted:** 19 May 2010, 10:23

Round 7 thread now open with European Cup draw

Shaggy365 · **Posted:** 19 May 2010, 10:33

Ho hum. Get the 3rd best score over the 2 legs, and manage to lose.

Never mind. It means I can concentrate all my efforts onto the league and not have to worry about any cup matches that may be affecting team performance.
