    I think so, could certainly spice things up in the later half of the season.

    I think it would be a good idea Genji. It would give a sence of progression in the game as drivers get knocked out of contention. <ok>

    I only mentioned it because i though it was a nice idea. I quite like the idea of getting near the end and suddenly you have to chose on of Alonso, Vettel or Hamilton to be your "-" <yikes>. Not sure i get the problem with changing the rules now when a change like this wouldn't have any difference if it was there from the start, but fair enough if people are against it.

    Anyway my picks for this race

    +Alonso - Massa(Grand slam choice)
    +Kovalainen - Karthikeyan (KERS)
    +Vettel - Button :(

    Then one saftey car and a Mercedes engine please <ok>

    OK Paco and Jules - job done. <ok>

    It's mainly just on principle but your point is sound: it won't be until after the Italian GP at the earliest that drivers start dropping out of contention so having had it in place from the start wouldn't have affected how people have played the game up to this point. Also, if people like the rule based on increasing the dependence on strategy rather than simply killing off the KKK advantage (which was my original intention) then I could be persuaded... basically, for such a fundamental change, I'd like to see a unanimous decision.

    I'm not indecisive. I'm just not sure what choice to make.

    Yup. I'd also overlooked the KERS unit for your free pairing, Roadster, which I've now corrected.

    Cheers, but in its place you seem to have eliminated my Renault engine :)

    Right, I'm 100% certain than Google docs is misbehavin'. I've noticed it on almost every update I've made since posting this thread. It's never messed up for previous races but this time it seems to constantly revert to older versions, which I haven't noticed until some time after adding new updates. This time not only your Engine was gone, Roadie, but so were Westy's add-ons and Julius Caesar's colours were all wrong. I've corrected it now (for the umpteenth time) but I'm going to have to pull it down and work on it in Excel in future.

    It'd be useful if everyone checked their own choices and let me know if there are any errors (I have just been over the thread but I may potentially have missed something). Thanks. <ok>

    Here's a MASSIVE thanks to Genji for re-jigging this and for all the work involved.
    :)

    &#8211; Since this is a Grand Slam event with as yet unpredictable weather, I'll postpone my choices for now.

    Don't forget, though - you've already played your joker this season: Thursday, 9am.

    Oops! Have I missed the boat? Thursday 9am? Am I too late?

    I thought post number one refers to a Friday 9am deadline?

    Well, I certainly want to conform to the rules. If however, I have misunderstood and am still able to do so, I would like to stick with:
    +Kova -Kart
    KERS
    And Renault engine, please.

    If this request is too late, so be it.
    Cheers.

    Oops - my mistake. I don't know what I was thinking of to say Thursday. I meant Friday, 9am of course. I'll update it tomorrow.
