F1 Game - Abu Dhabi

Dr. Hfuhruhurr · F1 Game - Abu Dhabi

New circuit, so predicting the results will be even harder than usual this season. But nevertheless, predicting the results is what you have to do - namely the first eight finishers, the pole sitter and fastest lapper, and answer the bonus question: who will be the slowest driver in Q3?

Deadline: Friday 30 October 2359 GMT

TimR

Is Q3 the final bit, i.e. with the fastest 10?

If so, does the slowest mean the slowest on track out of those or the person who actually starts 10th?

You'd think by race 17 I would've got a proper handle on this qualifying thing

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

Q3 is indeed the last ten. The slowest means exactly that, i.e. not taking into account penalties and so forth.

TimR

I thought so but just wanted to check as I'm clearly hard of thinking at the moment.

Big TC

Well, were it not for JB's attack on Webber in the last few laps, that would have been one of the most boring GPs in a long while.

Some of the camera angles they used made the track look a bit confusing, with all that paint and 'alternate' circuits. Amazing hotel, mind you.

"him"

I enjoyed the post race "exchange" between Webber and Button mind... that was surely the most entertaining bit of all?

I also must confess to searching for the "Ferrari World" resort info, as I couldn't quite believe the idea...

WTF?

BeN

It looks like a fantastic place to go on holiday. I'm sure they've succeeded in promoting the place as a tourist destination.

Even much more than Singapore I reckon.

So congratulations to Savmacher for his third win in a row, and thanks to everyone for playing. Let's hope next season is as unpredictable ...

Nice Guy Eddie

Congrats Sav and cheers Nick for running the game so well.

Big Blue

Well done Sav

Well done for keeping with it Nick. But who is Big Glue that scored 3 points in the last race of the season?

Or were you sniffing it at the time?

Humphrey The Pug

Well done Sav, again!!!!

TimR

Well done to Sav and a massive thankyou to the good Doctor for organising it all.

Humphrey The Pug

Oh Yes, thanks Dr. H

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

BeN

Congratulations Sav. Now bring out the bubbly...

Big Blue

Big TC

Well done Sav. Does he get to keep the trophy, now he's won it for 3 years?

Thanks Doc for all your hard work. Here's to next year

(And for me - having been on the podium for the last 2 years I missed it by one spot this year! Bollocks)

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

the other ct

Congratulations Sav, thank you Dr. H and cheers to Tiscali for my deemed (0 points) entry.

ALF

Almost a bit of interest at the end of that race, wasn't there? Pity JB could not get past - I got the feeling that had he chosen the other side, he'd have made it, on one occasion. Very grown-up piece of driving from both men though - pushed to the limit, off the normal line, but no crashes.

Eff One

That was great fun at the end, a fine display of skill from both men. I enjoyed Kobayashi's neat move on Button too. Given that he looks likely to be retained by Toyota for 2010, and Takuma Sato is rumoured to be returning with one of the new teams, I look forward to plenty of committed Japanese-style overtaking next year.

Big Blue

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

I hope Kobayashi can temper his overtaking without curbing his obvious talent and aggression. He looks promising, especially compared with everyone else who came in as a stand-in driver.

Sav

Thank you all for the kind messages, a hatrick feels quite good. As others have said, well done to Nick for efficiently running this game and without any issues.

Matt

Congratulations, Sav. Updated your custom title for you.

Chris M Wants a V-10

I came joint first in our Works Fantasy F1 game this year, but placed second as I only had one outright win against the other guy's 2 outright highest scores. We had about 25 players; I'm well pleased :-) I got a JB03 Honda-BAR tee-shirt for my efforts; the winner got 2 tickets to one of the Goodwood events next year and a session at a local go-kart track. Not bad for an entry fee of £5 per person
