I can see a scenario where JPM wins, but not with Kimi still in the race! And much as Toyota has improved lately, I can't see Ralph getting past Fernando OR Jenson Button!! In fact, I'd think it more likely, if JPM wins, that someone (in a Red Car?) or something has taken Kimi OUT, in which case I'd expect one of the Renaults or, possibly, Jenson in the Honda to be chasing him.

Ah, but that's why they HAVE the races, isn't it? Anyway, I'd like to climb a little way back up from the embarrassing slide I've been in lately because of my irrational love for Ferrari.

Oddly, though I am a Francophile, I find it hard to root for Renault. Maybe because of my miserable history with their passenger cars? If SOMEONE must beat them, I'd prefer a Merc or a Honda to a BMW or a Renault.

I'm away from my computer for a week, so I won't be either crowing or wincing with pain next week. Don't take my silence for pouting, though. I'll be back.

well, a Monoya's win is not the same if kimi is out, so it wouldn't be optimistic to put Monoya 1st and Kimi out... that'd a gamble.
I go with Mclaren, internally, I go with Monoya!
the optimistic pick will be always a 1-2! =)
But i reckon for the Europe GP is not only optimistic but reasonable, so i posted it...
in fact I want to see those two in equal conditions... no shoulders, no penalties no engine failures, no tyre failures, no rain gambles...

Sixth : Juan Pablo Montoya he does make mistakes.
Seventh : Jenson Button been a while
Eighth : Nick Heidfeld if noone holds Webber up, Heidfeld wont keep up.

2 !! and 12 had Webber

Kimi had over 500, Alonso over 130, Michael over 40 !

Those who picked Kimi and Webber would still score some points and get an advatnage when it comes to the overall bonus

The round of Europe saw Innocentjp win the round after scoring 36 points.
Innocentjp wins the NewsOnF1 Compact Smart Digital Clock with Alarm.

Overall biye takes the lead from Lance who had a poor result this round. In fact none of the top 8 players scored higher than 26 points. This has allowed the top 20 margin to shrink to just 14 points.
With 12 rounds remaining, the championship is very wide open!

The Overall Top 20 is available here

The Europe Top 100 is available here

The Popularity Picks for the round of Europe is available here

Congratulations to the winners

12 races to go
