Renault and Michelin's home GP. What are Ferrari and Bridgestone doing on the front row of the grid then?

 

It's going to come down to the pits. That's where it will be won. God Emperor Michael I isn't going to be able to run away from Alonso without a lot of blocking help from Massa, or if Renault screws up Alonso's car like they did at Indy.

 

Poor Jarno . . . and woe is me. Had his Toyota not packed up I might have hit a home run nailing all six right down the line . . . he certainly looked like a solid third pushing Massa to 4th . . .

Anyway, I'd loved to see Trulli on that podium.

 

I'm sneeking up on ya Dr Diff ! LOL

 

Adame - 30
CutnThrust - 36
DrDiff - 38
Kurvhugr - 44
MGCMAN - 48
Rollin - 34
ScottinBend - 54

A couple of us got the Flush Bonus (10 pts).

Too bad for Weber, a great race until his hydraulics failed.

 

WOW Nice flush there guys !

It's getting to be a bit of a race now !

 

Anybody watching qualifying? Holy cr@p - Schumi to start 14th and Alonso 16th!! Q3 will be unprecedented this year with neither of the points leaders competing - even Kubica advancing - this is fun!

 

Oops, I guess that was M Schu 12th and Alonso 15th.....but Button drops 10 places due to an engine change from 4th to 14th so Schumi moves to 11th.

It's gonna be tough to pick the top six this week!

 

It's raining! My picks now look crazy, but it's really anybody's guess. I love a race in the wet once in a while - this should be really entertaining.

 

Wow . . . JenSAHN BOUTAHN! A very deserved victory, too!

What was Schumacher thinking!???

What a race . . . .

 

News flash: Looks like Kubica was disqualified because his car was 2 kilos light at the end of the race. So, Schumi gets a point, Massa gets another point, and Ferrari get two more points in the constructors race.

 

Amen to that. Looks like you were NAM's high scorer with 16 big ones.
Unofficial tally:
krvhugr - 16
adame - 14
mgcman - 13
cutnthrust - 10
rollin - 8
scottinbend - goose egg

 

Hmmm, I thought there would be some bonus points for Rollin and Adame.....no?

 

I'm not really sure in the case of DLR. Darkhorse points are given to the driver who hasn't scored after the first three GPs (season's races or driver's races, it is not clarified). As DLR wasn't on the Darkhorse chart, this being his second race of the 2006 season, I assumed that there would not be bonus points for his performance today. But, you may very well be correct. Let's see how Little Commish plays it out.

 

Man was today a dark day for the points! Didn't get a single one.....lol

 

Yup, the points are posted now:

adame = 19
kurvhugr = 16
mgcman = 13
Rollin = 13
CutnThrust = 10
ScottinBend = 0

 

I didn't even get my pics in

 

Well, as you can see it was a rather low scoring race for all of us. Unless you're suddenly clairvoyant you probably didn't miss out on much.....how's that for stretching for a silver lining?

 

mgcman - 43
ScottinBend- 28
CutnThrust - 26
DrDiff- 22
Kurvhugr- 22

Everyone else forgot to enter their picks.

Edit: Forgot Scott's 4 pts for JB.

 

I think you missed a few of Scott's points - should be 28.....I think.

Also, what's up with Pick Six? I know it'll probably be fixed by the time I post this (so I'll look like an idiot), but the numbers are up and he left off Button. At first I thought Button might have been disqual'ed so I started to hunt for news, but then I realized the Commish didn't promote DLR into his place, just left the spot blank. Huh?

 

I sent him an email . . . as I desperately NEED those points to close in on your 2nd place! LOL

 

All better - Button points posted.....unfortunately for me.....

 

Italy Race Results:

Schumi Kimi Kubica Fischi JB Rubens

 

Alonso exacts his revenge on Massa. Goose Eggs for both in the WDC/WCC points race. Honda steps up for 5th and 6th; but what will Michael say?

 

China. Holy cr*p! How the heck do you call this one? I think I'll wait for a last minute weather forecast before I pick this time.
