You have registered the following picks :

Winner : Kimi Raikkonen -- "Nice sights on this track"

Second : Lewis Hamilton -- "I loove the roller coaster"

Third : Heikki Kovalainen -- will he be able to stand on the podium with a magistral pain in the neck

Fourth : Nick Heidfeld -- Outpacing his teammate at least once this year

Fifth : Fernando Alonso -- we are getting there

Sixth : Robert Kubica -- need to refine that strategy

Seventh : Felipe Massa -- bad luck

Eighth : Jarno Trulli -- the 2008 Toyota seems to work well, I expect some points

Pole : Robert Kubica -- loved the Pole in pole, will it happen again?

1st Felipe
2 Kimi
3 Kubi
4 Hekki
5 Nick
6 Fernando
7 Mark
8 Nicko

Pole Felipe Its obvious

The picks you have entered are:

Winner: Felipe Massa (GET A MOVE ON, SON)

Second: Kimi Raikkonen (complacent)

Third: Robert Kubica (He'll take pole and first place in a couple of races, but not yet!)

Fourth: Lewis Hamilton (hanging in...but, he'll crumble soon enough)

Fifth: Nico Rosberg (Come on, NICO!)

Sixth: Jarno Trulli (Nice!)

Seventh: Mark Webber (even a broken clock is right twice a day)

Eighth: Nick Heidfeld (poor nick wont have a seat next yr)

Pole: Felipe Massa

Here we go....arbitrary wild guessing will get me to the top. I am thinkin Heikki will be a little shaken up. That's why he is not up there.

Picks for the Round of Turkey.....................

1st} Lewis Hamilton(so, what happened to Super Aguri?...... )
2nd} Kimi Raikkonen(keepin' an eye on the competition... )
3rd} Felipe Massa(just being wingman for the current WDC........ )
4th} Fernando Alonso(...................... ..............I used to be WDC, you know...... )
5th} Heikki Kovalainen(............................ .........................)
6th} Nick Heidfeld(where is 1st place anyway........ )
7th} Robert Kubica(.......remember, that's K-U-B-I-C-A, Kubica.......)
8th} Jarno Trulli(this week's pick for 8th place)

And for pole position................Kimi Raikkonen

Making an attempt to recover ....


Winner : Felipe Massa - Picking him one more time!
Second : Kimi Raikkonen - Has to settle for second (perhaps naively I think Ferrari have changed )
Third : Robert Kubica - Another podium for the Pole
Fourth : Fernando Alonso - More than capable of doing it
Fifth : Lewis Hamilton - The title is becoming more of a dream
Sixth : Nick Heidfeld - Getting seriously worried about the Pole!
Seventh : Heikki Kovalainen - Not fully recovered
Eighth : Jarno Trulli - Always finishes somewhere in that vicinity!

Pole : Felipe Massa - Should get it this time!

Winner: Kimi Raikkonen - I am No.1
Second: Felipe Massa - I am obviously No.2 then
Third: Lewis Hamilton - I am not that good yet
Fourth: Robert Kubica - Nick who?????
Fifth: Heikki Kovalainen - I feel better now
Sixth: Nick Heidfeld - Indy here I come
Seventh: Mark Webber - It's amazing what a bit of reliability will do for a bloke
Eighth: Nico Rosberg - I still can't beat MW

Pole: Kimi Raikkonen - I am the fastest too....

Revised picks:

Fourth: Nick Heidfeld -> Fernando Alonso

Fifth: Fernando Alonso -> Robert Kubica

Sixth: Robert Kubica -> Nick Heidfeld

Seventh: Felipe Massa -> Jarno Trulli

Eighth: Jarno Trulli -> Nico Rosberg

Following the revelation that Heidfeld suffers from hayfever, thus a 4th place is more unlikely, also it does not make much sense to have Felipe in 7th so I eliminated him altogether from my picks.

Now watch Heidfeld finish 4th

It has happened so many times that you almost feel it is on purpose!!

Felipe should do well or retire with a spin so I think it was sensible to take him out completely I still think he will dominate.

Hey that is all the bad I wish for Nick.

Looking forward to the race!

Winner : Kimi Raikkonen Looks so relaxed as number 1.
Second : Lewis Hamilton Will keep Kimi honest.
Third : Robert Kubica Solid racer
Fourth : Felipe Massa :Too good not to be in the top four
Fifth : Nick Heidfeld :Usually dependable driver to get points.
Sixth : Fernando Alonso: 6th would be a good result this year for him
Seventh : Heikki Kovalainen: Can't leave him out of my top 8 picks.
Eighth : Mark Webber: Deserves to be in a better car.

Pole : Kimi Raikkonen: Safe bet.

Mmh, my original picks would have done better. I picked Massa as the "unlucky" guy and it was Kovalainen instead

This time Massa delivered

I think I should make a mini recovery.

(You were right jido on Hiedfeld )
