[Greg Nelson]

Q
Hamilton
Rosburg
Alonso

I’m thinking Hammy will start to run off at the start but make a mistake and crash, Alonso will get the lead in the pit stops and Vettel will fight with Nico, but not be able to pass or get advantage in the pits. Riccardo 4th.

R
Alonso
Rosburg
Vettel

Of course if it rains Alonso, Vettel, Botas

[Greg Nelson]

Alonso stirring the pot! 1/2 sec faster than Hammy after rain in the 2nd practice. Race day calling of cloudy, chance of rain or meatballs?!

[Greg Nelson]

Current standings after Spain:
1-J Derrig 309 perfect score: max points and max bonus, takes over the lead

5-L Andrews 251

China race results = Ham 25 , Ros 18, Alo 15, Ric 12, Vet 10, Hlk 8, Bot 6, Rai4 , Per 2 and Kny 1

1-JD Gomez 173 + 63 = 236
2-P Hir 167 + 53 = 220
3-J Derrig 154 + 63 = 217
4-L Andrews 152 + 48 = 200

9-K McHale 0 + 53 = 53
Top scores in China for JD and Jim, 63 points.
McHale scores his first points with a strong race result.
Little bit of a break ’til the next one as they return to Europe next month.

[Greg Nelson]

Q Ham, Riccardo, Vettel

1-JD Gomez (+4) 173
2-P Hir (+3) 167
3-L Andrews (+3) 152
4-J Derrig (+4) 154
5-G Dzielinski (+4) 150
6-G Nelson (+3) 110
7-F Brun-Wibuax (+4) 100
8- J Martin (0) 82
9-K McHale (0) 0
We have 5 picking Rosburg for his second win, 3 for his teammate Hamilton to win and one with Vettel getting his first. Does Riccardo get his first? Maybe Alonso? Can the Merc and Red Bull teammates play nice and follow orders or will they take each other out? With only a 10% chance of rain, it’s going to benefit drivers who do seem to have a handle on the wet yet and the start could see again some huge passing and maybe a big wreck to jumble up everything. Maybe Massa jumps forward and gets a podium? Can the Iceman get it together with a 2 stop race and take the fight to the front with avoiding the start carnage? I’m not staying up, so I’ll wait to watch the DVR. Good luck everyone, and Welcome McHale.

[Greg Nelson]

Welcome to the fray Kevin.
Q- Ham, Alonso, Rosburg
Race: Rosburg, Alonso, Riccardo

#3 Bahrain GP Points after Q
(1) Rosburg 3pts, (2) Hamilton 2 pts, (3) Riccardo 1 pt

Vettel continues with mediocre results as his teammate continues to show why Red Bull picked him. Hopefully their cars are legal, LOL
Larry, Jim, Francois and J Martin, had to use your last picks.

1-JD Gomez 108 + 5 pts in Q = 113
2-L Andrews 104 + 0 pts in Q = 104
3-P Hir 97+ 6 pts in Q = 103
4-J Derrig 89+ 0 pts in Q =
5-G Dzielinski 87+ 0 pts in Q = 87
6-G Nelson 75+ 0 pts in Q = 75
7-Fr Brun-Wibuax 69+ 2 pts in Q = 71
8- J Martin (56)+ 0 pts in Q = 56

Paul picked up the full 6 in Q, nice.

[Greg Nelson]

Q: Hamilton – Rosburg – Vettel

R: Rosburg – Vettel – Massa

[Greg Nelson]

I forgot all about it last year until the 3 or 4th race.

[Greg Nelson]

Hope to see you participate for Bahrain, Justin.

Congrats to Jim, perfect race results, just mixed up Nico and Vett for Q, otherwise he would have max pointed

1-JD Gomez 43 + 65 = 108
2-Larry Andrews 48 + 56 = 104
3-Paul Hir 52 + 45 = 97
4-Jim Derrig 18 + 71 = 89
5-Greg Dzielinski 47 + 40 = 87
6-Greg Nelson 32 + 43 = 75
7-Fr Brun-Wibuax 36 + 33 = 69
(8) J Martin 25 + 33 = (58)

Justin, if I were to give you points based on your picks from the Brazilian 13 final, you’d have 58

[Greg Nelson]

WE have 4 that made new picks and 3 with carry overs

1-Paul Hir 52 pts = 52
2-Larry Andrews 44 pts Rd 2 Q pts 4 = 48
3-Greg Dzielinski 43 pts Rd 2 Q pts 4 = 47
4-JD Gomez 40 pts Rd 2 Q pts 3 = 43
5-Francois Brun-Wibuax 36 pts = 36
6-Greg Nelson 32 pts = 32
7-Jim Derrig 15 pts Rd 2 Q pts 3 = 18

Good luck everyone!!

[Greg Nelson]

Q- Rosburg, Hamilton, Alonso Race Hamilton, Kimi, Rosburg.

[Greg Nelson]

If the disqualification of Red Bull stands, revised points are:

Qualifying and Race Points race #1
1-Paul Hir 52 pts
2-Larry Andrews 44 pts
3-Greg Dzielinski 43 pts
4-JD Gomez 40 pts
5-Francois Brun-Wibuax 36 pts.
6-Greg Nelson 32 pts
7-Jim Derrig 15 pts
Everyone gained points, but stayed in the same position

[Greg Nelson]

OK, we’ll have to see if anything changes  with the appeal.

[Greg Nelson]

Wow, I knew this season was full of changes, well this gives us somewhat of an idea what to expect.
Qualifying and Race Points race #1
1-Paul Hir 47 pts Nice job Paul!
2-Larry Andrews 41 pts
3-Greg Dzielinski 40 pts
4-JD Gomez 38 pts
5-Francois Brun-Wibuax 34 pts with 5 bonus points for picking the winner.
6-Greg Nelson 30 pts
7-Jim Derrig 13 pts

As Jim requested, if no one else objects with a good reason, then this will count for the season, As for anyone that missed joining in on this race, it’s only one of 19 (/), you have plenty of chances to get in this thing, Paul had no points after qualifying and now leads with good race points paying choices.

Jim, the engines remind me of a V-6 Chevy Citation with a clogged and wet air filter and fouled plugs from running diesel, LOL, horrible. It’s too late now, unless they institute a change at summer break and allow development testing immediately, but the first thing they need to change for ’15 is the single turbo and the electric motor for it, let them run twin turbos and no motor for it, it would reduce complexity and probably sound better.

[Greg Nelson]

After Q, points (I probably won’t do this each race)
Qualifying Race
1-Larry Andrews 4 pts (Ham 1st, Ros 3rd)
2-Greg Dzielinski 3 pts (Ham 1st)
2-JD Gomez 3 pts (Ham 1st)
2-Jim Derrig 3 pts (Ham 1st)
5-Greg Nelson 1 pt (Ros 3rd)
6-Francois Brun- 0 pts
Wibuax
7-Paul Hir 0 pts

With only 7 players, should we make this a test run and start the season next race or go ahead and start now, if any last comers join, then, they missed a race or 2?
Also, should we do like Larry did and if you forget to pick a race, your last race picks are used?

[Greg Nelson]

Don’t thank me yet! Anyone that wants to help or whatever, jump in, I welcome any help. Larry did a great job for the last couple of years and I know it’s not going to be easy.
keeping track of everything, so if I make a mistake, please let me know immediately so I can correct it. Good luck everyone.

[Greg Nelson]

Ok, I looked up the points they are 1st = 25, 2nd = 18, 3rd = 15, 4th = 12, 5th = 10, 6th = 8, 7th = 6, 8th = 4, 9th = 2 and 10th = 1.
And no double points for the last race like F1 is doing, normal points at all races

[Greg Nelson]

Ok Larry, bummer, I’d do it, but half the time I forget to even play, heck I missed the first 4-5 last year. Anyone gonna step into Larry’s shoes?

[Greg Nelson]

Wow, they sound like crap too.  Kjnda like a 4 stroke V4 moto GP bike.
