The picks you have entered are:

Winner: Lewis Hamilton

Second: Jenson Button

Third: Sebastian Vettel

Fourth: Fernando Alonso

Fifth: Michael Schumacher

Sixth: Mark Webber

Seventh: Nico Rosberg

Eighth: Felipe Massa

Ninth: Nick Heidfeld

Tenth: Paul di Resta

Pole: Lewis Hamilton

More guesswork, but I'm hoping the aerodynamic changes make it a bit harder for Red Bull in qualifying. Also hope Schumacher does well after a rubbish 15th last year.

:D :D Greetings [REAL] Race Fans:

Well, F1 is certainly getting better with each race! Though last year was a nail biter all the way and this year Seb seems to be coasting to the WDC, it is still a nightmare to try to pick the top ten! My overall Rank has dropped to 155 out of 3076 :oops: :oops: because I just can't Quite get a handle on the podium finishers! So here I go again:

For Valencia (Europe):

:1st: Sebastian Vettel: I have to stay with the kid, even though he slipped up last time. The RBR is, even with them fiddling with the exhaust regs, the class of the field and Seb is the defending WDC!

:2nd: Lewis Hamilton: Much as I hate the Wokking Machines, they are getting faster and faster and Lewis is looking, to me, more and more like "The Nige" of memory; he goes for it; he's a RACER and not a corporate clone as much as they try to make him one

:3rd: Jenson Button: I don't think the boy can be THAT lucky for two races in a row; if he and Lewis come together again, I think he'll be the one sitting out the race. In a word, I expect him to be cautious.

4th Place: will go to the Bridesmaid again, Mark Webber, in a fast machine; maybe, if he can get some of Jenson's luck for a change, he'll make the podium

5th Place: will be, despite all his heroics, Fernando's. I would love to see him on the top step of the podium, like all Spain, but he doesn't have the racing luck

6th Place: I think Ferrari are improving (too late and too little, but still improving. In fact, I hope they're working on the 2012 car now!) so I'll put little Phil Massa here.

7th Place will go to Nico in the Silver Merc, followed by

8th Place, Michael Schumacher, his partner

9th Place should go to Vitaly Petrov, who is fast making Quick Nick look slower

& 10th Place will, I hope, go to the Sauber of Kamui Kobayashi, who is always fun to watch! (would love to see Jenson at Ferrari so Kamui could have his seat!)

Pole will go to the best Qualifier this year by far: Seb Vettel

Now, let's go Racing! :cheers: :cheers: :burnout:

Due to an error in the scoring system for those who picked Jaime Alguersuari, the results were resent after the scores for those players who picked Alguersuari were corrected.

Apologies for the inconvenience

As a result for the recalculation, there were 4 players who top scored this round with 71 points. In addition to Andre Bessa, JinxOnYouALL and Amminadab, czeckmate also scrored 71 points but as czeckmate's picks were rolled from a previous round, Andre Bessa is the player who wins the prize.

czeckmate managed to pick 9 of the top 10 finishers with 1st, 2nd and 6th in their exact finishing place and had 3rd and 4th swapped around. Picking Sebastian Vettel for pole earned czeckmate 6 additional points and scored a bonus 10 points for picking 9 and Pole!
