Hey Dr D, did you really mean to pick Villeneuve (for P6)?

Another fun race. Surprises right up to the end, even on the last lap - which, by the way, really showed Button's mettle!

I wanted his replacement driver Robert Kubica for P6. I stated that in my comment. I couldn't find his name on the drop down and when I tried to leave it blank, the server would not take my picks.

Just saw the results and it was a crapshoot! Speed is not on my inlaw's cable lineup. I am basing my picks based on internet sites. Haven't seen a race now for 3 months

6 days to Japan! Should be a nail bite-er. Can Schumi win his 8th championship before he re-tires? Does this mean that he is switching to Michelin?

What a last lap!!! Talk about a windfall for adame; how did he manage to orchestrate it? Poor ole' Nick Heidfeld, and what was Sato thinking, oh yeah Sato never thinks. Even Steven with two races remaining.... Suzuka and Interlagos, great circuits for historic championship deciding races. Doubt I'll sleep these intervening six days.

What's the last race you were able to watch? I think I still have all of this year's races on my hard drive. I can probably cut you some cds of the ones you missed if you're interested.

The last day I was in Indy was July 11, 06. Missed them all since that date. I didn't get the US GP footage either. Forgot to set the VCR.

Well, if you attended that one in person at least you got a good fix first.

Well, PickSix 2006 is history. Like Schumi, I couldn't hold off the charge of my major competitor, Brazilian Elias Luiz, and I finished second in the overall championship. Unlike Schumi, I don't plan on retiring and hope to be back for next year's series.

Nam faired fairly well this year, with kurvhugr 11th overall and CutnThrust 17th. Not bad for a bunch of guys who drive funny little cars.

See y'all next season. Let's get a few more NAMers up for the 2007 championship.

Well done MGCMAN! I think we did a bit better overall this year than last. I like this pick six thing - a lot simpler than the usual fantasy league biz - I don't have time for all that nonsense. I'm in for next year - who else?

I'm in...but I have a question. I don't know why I don't know, but where is Alonso going next season? I apparently missed the who with part...

I think Ferrari is one step ahead of many others next year; They've figured out how to make the Bridgestones work while the others (Michelin folk) have a little learning ahead of them...assuming there are no major rules alterations...and their two new drivers are pretty good too

Well Massa already proved himself a very competent driver for them this year so the team should be strong next year.

Cool, welcome aboard meb!

Alonso is going to McLaren, taking the seat vacated by Kimi.

I have every GP from this season except for France, where the cable bagged us while out of town.

I'd be happy to work out a trade with anyone for a copy of that one . . . and I'm also looking for San Marino '04 . . . let's make a deal!

After 18 events I improved 1 position - woohoo!
I'm not sure what happend to me on that one race - wow. Didn't get to see any coverage and basically picked blind....34pts! (maybe that's how I should pick from now on)
Great job everyone. I love how we have so many near the top. I'm in for next year!

I still don't have San Marino '04 (I think you asked about that one that last year), but I can cut you a dvd of France '06. Send me a pm.
