Fair enough but F1 is on its down period, I'm not doing anything wrong other than trying to encourage the people that are left before this place becomes a ghost town.

I didn't see people having a big deal about "bumping up" the prediction league before race weekends as a daily reminder. 2 days to go! 1 day to go! 12 hours to go!

roll on the next 4 races

Thanks for your efforts, Silver.
It would be interesting to compare with similar polls of other groups of people such as forums and the general press.

Wasn't sure where to put the following but then I remembered this.

James Allen: Rating the F1 drivers for the season so far (Gazzetta dello Sport)

NB. This is on Allen's page but was published by Gazzetta dello Sport, an influential ITALIAN paper

Here is the full run down:

10 – Alonso
8.5 – Hamilton
8 – Raikkonen
7 – Webber, Vettel, Rosberg, Grosjean
6.5 – Di Resta, Maldonado
6 – Schumacher, Perez, Kobayashi, Hulkenberg, Kovalainen, Glock, De la Rosa, Pic, Petrov,
5.5 – Senna
5 – Button, Vergne, Ricciardo, Karthikeyan
4.5 Massa

Vs our (Silvers) top 5 of:

1st: Alonso (Landslide!)
2nd: Lewis (Safe 2nd)
3rd: Kimi (By himself)
4th: Webber (Just keeps 4th)
5th: Vettel (Double of 6th)

Seems we agree(ish) there. The Bottom 5 bar Maldanado seems pretty similar to with our bottom 5 of:

1st: Maldonado (Just)
2nd: Narain (Close to 2nd but clear of 3rd)
3rd: Button (Close to 4th)
4th: Massa (Same as above)
5th: Senna (Vergne close behind)

Here's JA's selection of their reasoning,

The influential Italian paper Gazzetta dello Sport has done a mid-season rating of each of the F1 drivers, with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso coming out on top, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen.

And in a stark assessment of Ferrari’s other driver, Felipe Massa is at the bottom of the table.

The Italian media is very fond of what they call “pagelle”, which are marks out of 10 after every event. It’s a well established part of Italian sports media coverage and has been copied here and there in the UK media and elsewhere.

But in Italy it carries a bit more weight. So it is worth reporting and considering to see whether readers here on JA on F1 agree with their marks.

Alonso comes out with a 10, due to having won three races in an open season, “the merit is above all the Spaniard’s; he has managed to get 101% out of the car, no serious mistake, no below par race, ” says the citation.

Hamilton is second on 8.5, Gazzetta noting that “if he had translated the three poles into three wins it would be a different championship.”


Raikkonen, third on 8, is described as “the most beautiful surprise of the year” for his gutsy comeback, garlanded with podiums and strong points finishes. Interestingly, in 11 races so far these three drivers have yet to appear on the podium together.


In contrast the Gazzetta doesn’t spare Massa’s blushes, “25 points against the 164 of Alonso, who has beaten him 11 times out of 11. A few signs of a revival in recent races but it’s not enough to get him re-signed (for 2013). Perhaps it’s time for a change of scene..”

Well, in terms of our assessment of drivers, it seems this forum is almost exactly in tune with the larger 'out there', doesn't it?

This would suggest that not606 is pretty representative bunch when it comes to motor racing and especially F1; probably more so than many other forums where the bias of some leading members can become infectious, effectively alienating those who dare to disagree.
