Are you telling me with all the Alonso fans we have on this forum. Not of them had the blind faith to predict him to win?
If i was to do anything ridiculous, it would have to be from a Toro Rosso in 5th or something crazy like that. [waits for them both to crash]
The scores on zdkf1 are slightly wrong (and those for australia). I've emailed them about it. The corrections will increase a few peoples' scores by a couple of points. This will change the league points for australia (it means less points for cliptheapex, no change for not606). I'll post corrected scores soon.
Like all f1 stewards' enquiries, it'll be well into the night or the next day before you finally know the result.

At this early stage of the season there are five players all tied for first, and not606 have two of these in chrispa76 and tomtom94.
The scores on zdkf1 have been updated and match what I posted, so those scores will stand. Get those predictions in for China!
Interesting little fact I found whilst trying to figure out a pole lap for China. In both races so far, the pole lap time has been around 1.4s slower than last year. The weather conditions were about the same, across both years they were under dry conditions, as far as I'm aware for Malaysia 2011. Shouldnt this quali pace get slower over the season if nothing that gives a benefit as substantial as the blown diffuser is designed and developed this year?
I would have thought it would gradually get quicker over the year as normal development cycles recoup some of the performance they've lost from last year. It was quite a short winter and, if F1 cars are permanent prototypes, they're especially prototypical at the moment.
I can see them both getting podiums this season, neither is a slow coach, and both are pretty aggressive, if they could stay out of trouble on a track suited to the Williams who knows what they could get.
Get those predictions in... don't forget about the weather and Hamilton's penalty. The pole prediction is the driver who in on pole on Sunday by the way. So it can't be Hamilton (unless all in front get penalties somehow...)
