Ok, super last minute effort!

Most people know the drill, so pick a number 1-22. I literally have no idea when I'll make the draw, so you might not find out who you've got until after the race, who knows. I'm not suggesting I'll run this throughout the year, I'm not going to have the time, but at least after Melbourne we'll have a week or so to figure something out.

If anyone's new to the forum and doesn't understand how this works, easiest way to get up to speed is to go back through Off-Topic to one of El_B's excellent 2013 efforts, where it should be a lot clearer. If I've got time I'll add a link.

If somebody could pick for myself too, that'd be great. I've never ran this before, so if I'm supposed to PM the list of numbers to someone, let me know!
 
Updated the list, still plenty of time if anyone else wants to join in
 
El_B, did you have some kind of spreadsheet that did all the maths for you last season, or was it all manual?

I doubt I can run this all season, but if you don't have a spreadsheet I might try and build one tonight to automate as much as I can.

Also, I've noticed I've included 22 numbers where only 20 should be available. The way the random assignment has worked, 11 and 19 were assigned to Vettel and Ricciardo, who as the top ranked team from last season are sitting this race out.
 
Here's how things look at the moment anyway. You can still join if you like, by taking any unclaimed number in the OP except 11 or 19:

Hopefully that's all correct. Automating this appears to be a nightmare, particularly with my excel skills.

So far, Miggins leads thanks to a flawless performance from Hulk, and Forza is doing well thanks to the Mclaren-Lotus mismatch. Magnussen, Hamilton and Vergne are also flying, but yet to be claimed.
