Although we must be vigilant against Beamer making more accounts to play the game ;)

I am hoping that Button can get his first win tomorow but he usualy doesnt start well and i think atleast one of the renautls will be past him after the first corner. So i think il go with the great Alonso for his second win of the season and already getting a very handy lead in the championship

I got up at 5am and had only 4 hours sleep....but it was worth it to watch a race full of incidents :)
I'll work out the points now and post the results soon.

Well - after this Race we have a new Leader! A lot of shuffling of places going on in the higher middle order, the biggest fall being two places, so no drastic movements. Lots of drivers didn't finish the race so quite a few teams suffered....no chosen C group drivers actually finished this race for instance. Next race i believe is in three weeks in San Marino :)

1 (2) - Jamee's Speedy Foxes - 124
2 (1) - Matteh F1 - 119.5
3 (3) - Pothas F1 - 114

5 (4) - Nik Of Time - 108.5.5
6 (7) - Shaka's F1 - 106
7 (9) - PSV Eindhoven - 100
8 (6) - Saville Racing - 93

Hmm, how do you classify Button for that race

On one hand, clear engine failure, didnt cross the line.

But the official result is that he finished in 9th, as the race was technically over when he blew up, and although down to 9th could overtake him, 10th place's race had finished, with less distance run than button, so in theory button had done enough to complete the race at that start of the lap.

Scrap that, figured out you've given him the finish. Rightly so.

But i'm noticing points that i personally think are wrong. Put up your email address and i'll send you the excel file i'm using to keep track. It's pretty accurate :)

Technically according to the rules of F1 he did finish the race...but he obviously actually didn't....
I gave him the 5 points for pole and nothing else.
Noone has Honda as an Engine choice so that doesn't come into play.

Button should be classed as completing the race, as far as my understanding of the rules go if you complete 90% of the distace that the winner does you are then classified by average speeds for the total grand prix, its kinda the same as a One Day cricket match where you get bowled out in 45 overs for 200 your run rate is 4.44, but it then gets averages out to 50 overs, so your run rate is actually 4, if that makes any sense...

Turns out that Scott Speed received a penalty for ignoring yellow flags...Which allows the Ferrari powered Red Bull car of David Coulthard to pick up some points. Also Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest lap - not Alonso. Has quite an effect on the table too...
The new table:
1 (2) - Jamee's Speedy Foxes - 132
2 (3) - Pothas F1 - 122
3 (1) - Matteh F1 - 117.5
4 (7) - Shaka's F1 - 118
5 (5) - Brown Stripe Racing - 111.5
6 (4) - Nik Of Time - 108.5
7 (8) - Thompson Racing - 103.5
8 (9) - PSV Eindhoven - 102
9 (6) - Saville Racing - 95
10 (11) - Vikings - 89
10 (10) - Hazza's Hounds - 83.5
12 (15) - Trivial Pursuits - 76
13 (12) - Stereolab - 73.5
14 (14) - Late Comer - 73
15 (13) - Maggot Dogs - 72.5
16 (n/a) - The 4 Musketeers - 30

Once again i come to pick holes :)

Steds (sorry mate, your gonna hate me for this!) should have 73.5 not 83.5, Given 15 points for Cosworth engine instead of 5 (Williams scored 10 points for them in week one, but they lost 5 week 2 thanks to Nico's blow up)

Hoggy31 should be on 72.5 not 71.5, doesnt look like he's got Couthards point from Oz

Hazza i get to be at 83.5 not 73.5, Believe its for Couthard getting 8th (and 10 points for Ferrari engines in Oz).

Superkingdave i get as 95 not 91 (just an add up wrong)

Cricketboy29 i get at 76 not 64 - 10 points missing for Brigestones podium in Oz (R Schumacher), other 2 adding up


Like i said, give us your email address and i'll send you my excel file that'll calculate it all for you :) (so long as you stick the right results in!). No, no one else is having it, i've worked hard on it to give myself an advantage over you's when it comes to the transfers, so make your own!!! :)

---

Just Thought i'd add - Max points would be 139, for having Alonso, Button, Schumacher, Albers (or Speed), McLaren, Ferrari and Michelin...... So Jamie has pretty much got it spot on bar the C driver (which lets face it, you'd expect Klien to do well, just a few retirements hit him). Gotta say i'm impressed!

I don't think I've ever led anything on here :p

Ferrari engine's surving me well, and right now there's no need for transfers :)

That's me thinking Heidfeld is still in a Williams...=/

Ah yes - I'd only remembered to give Ferrari points.

Missed out the Ferrari engine points. Mneh stupid Scott Speed making it awkward.
