Round of Monaco (Asrar takes the lead!)

[GhoGho]

It would have been

Schuey is smarter than your average bear He's as cunning as a fleet of fox's with Oxford degrees!

As a ferrari fan first and Schu fan second, he should have "nearly" saved it. would have been more convincing for the masses

What was that??? Did i hear someone say Cheating

[Kapel]

Free Fall for me

On Ahmjad's reasoning, I should be making my move into the top 100. My guesstimate for me is 32 points but we will see.

In truth, anyone who picked Alonso for pole and to win would have at least 16 points to start so there could be some surprises.

[Amjad]

Ahmjad: I like your reasoning; it's easy to see why you're doing so well in pole n 8. Actually, I was sort of thinking that since he hasn't done anything truly typical yet, it would be Ralphie who would take FA out of the race...

either because he refused to get out of the way while being lapped and so turns into the race leader (later claiming he didn't see him)... or because the SC puts him somehow close enough physically if not in laps to run into Fernando while trying some kind of impossible overtaking attempt.

anyway, to further spin out my fantasies, if indeed Michael's little bro takes out the WC and Michael picks up some more points in the race, we'll hear from the conspiracy folks for sure!

enjoy the intervening days before you make your pick, and IGNORE my premontions of disaster for Fernando.

Thanks Jim Watt, I'm proud by your comment, but let's forget your dreams because you will destroy my last hope in the competition as I pick both Ralf and Alonso in every round.

Good for you, If you make up to Top 100, but when I said about, it mean + /- 2 or 3 point. and If you pick Alonso as a winner you will collect 14 point (not 16), When I calculate the top score I assumed that no body pick Montoya & David for podium and I don't think too many people pick Nick & Ralf to finish the race, and with such low finish for MS and FISO that make the following calculation:
Winner + pole = 14 point
Montoya (picked 5) = 4 point
David: not picked = 0 point
Barch. : 7th = 2 point
MS: 2nd = 4 point
FISO: 4th = 3 point
Nick: Not picked = 0 point
Ralf: Not picked = 0 point
Finish in the Top 8: (5 0r 6 at most) = 2 or 4 point

We sum so = 31 point or so

[cmlean]

Too true Amjad. I was a bit generous giving 16 points just for an Alonso pick.

I aslo found Kapy a bit overcatastrophical ( royally butchered )
specially because it was monaco, you spect non-standard things there, so your score is more random then usual...
