F1 Game - Valenthia

Usual rules: guess pole guy, fastest lap guy, top eight finishing guys, and answer the bonus question: what will be Schumacher's grid position?

Deadline: Friday 21 August 2359 GMT
BeN

But Schumi's participation isn't exactly confirmed, what with his neck problems and all.
Dr. Hfuhruhurr

In which case, whoever drives the non-Raikkonen Ferrari.

Isn't it Balenthia?

Quick reminder - tomorrow is deadline day.
Chris M Wants a V-10

Concerned at the lack of posts here, or like my "incident" a month or so back, have some of them disappeared as if by magic?  I seem to recall seeing something about an alternative Bonus Question.........
BeN

I think we just forgot about it Chris.

Anyway:

1) Vettel
2) Button
3) Alonso (he will be determined)
4) Raikkonen
5) Webber
6) Hamilton
7) Barrichello
8) Kovalainen

Pole: Button
Fastest: Alonso
Bonus: Badoer will be within the top 10. I'd say 10th.

I forgot all about it until now. I'll take my punishment too!

Badoer came in dead last. Oh dear...
Chris M Wants a V-10

...and McLaren handed the win to Reubens.  Whitmarsh has had plenty of oportunity to practice his "Ron-speak" but fortunately most if us can see right through the crap he was spouting

Apparently, some in the press room have renamed him 'Look-how Bad-you-are'.

I didn't understand what Whitmarsh was on about, but Autosport cleared it up. Lewis was trying to save fuel so he could run a lap further but the team weren't sure he'd done enough. By the time the message went out to say he'd done enough it was too late - he was already in the pitlane. The crew were expecting Kovalainen. Still seems to me like they were pretty slow on the uptake, though.

So - would Hamilton have won? I think it was very, very marginal. Ruby was absolutely brilliant yesterday and I'm delighted for him.

As to the others I thought Raikkonen and Rosberg were both excellent but was disappointed in Kovalainen. He's obviously mighty quick over a single lap, but needs to sort out his race pace.

I did better than I thought, not a particularly high scoring round though, for anyone.

I'm very proud of her, very proud. She's certainly leading the way in our house.

Well done darling.

Nice to know that I did no worse than Badoer or even Schumacher did at Valencia.

I'll be back for the next round.
