Round of Australia - Picks, comments and results

Ed · Post by Ed » Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:08 am

Jim Watt,

If my memory serves me well, I have never moved a post by you because it was off topic. I am sure everyone here enjoys very much reading you entertaining and detailed posts.

Let me try and explain how to navigate during race weekends:

We create a thread in the Formula - 1 Racing forum to provide coverage for the race and for people to give their thoughts of the race.
We create another thead in the Formula 1 - 8 'n' Pole forum for the players in 8 'n' Pole to place their picks and tell everyone why the made those picks. This is the thread we are in now.

Jim if you are bored between races why don't you trot over to the trivia section and have a go at the quiz. I am running a quiz between races to keep you guys busy and hopefully amused.

You can read the rules for entering over there.
Would love to have you or anyone else here join in. The more the merrier.

Not bad although I ain't from the Ozland.

Not half bad. This year it's more fun to have a go at 8nP.

Gracias, Ed. I thought that was the case. Anyway, I'm sure it was my own failing memory was the villain, not yrs truly.

A good season in the offing, eh? Especially if the BMW/Saubers and Renaults get up to challenging speed!

I got 30 which I'm quited pleased with for my first round. Would have gotten quite a few more if Massa had have finished though... ahh well. The saubers impressed me aswell... shame Kubica didn't finish though.

Good luck to everyone for Malasia!

Holy Cow! I only got twenty-four!!

I guess I should have paid more attention to Lewis Hamilton's press!! And, of course, like the incurable optimist I am, I thought Honda & Jense would continue their upward surge from the end of last season.

Congratulations to you wizards.

Wait a minute. i just read my pole n 8 score sheet and they said i got twenty seven points. I guess I don't know how to use the calculator right. or i forgot who i picked. Not that 27 is all that great, but it is, at least, average.

more later when the boss ain't lookin in
