Had a 1-3-4. +4 bonus points, then after qualifying switched it to 1-4-12 no bonus points. Last race switching after qualifying cost me 11 points, and now this race it cost me 12. No more switching after qualifying, and also maybe no more Mercedes too, and that'll be enough to get back to the top hopefully :)
 
1-6-12. I knew I should've blown my second CP on Raikkonen...
 
*ahem* :P 1st, 2nd, 4th for me. Very pleased! :D

I knew my comments would come to bite me in the backside :P I'm the first to admit when i'm wrong though. Very good judgement on your part :)

My picks came 4th, 6th and 12th. Who would've thought it? Everything about this circuit over the past 10-15 years has told us that you can't overtake, that the winner is guaranteed to start 1st, 2nd or 3rd on the grid.

I pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the grid (Rosberg, Hamilton and Vettel respectively), and don't even get a podium! What is worse, is that in Bahrain my picks were Alonso, Massa and Raikkonen :lol: in Bahrain they did rubbish (Except Kimi), but here they dominated the race.

Five races without a win. I do believe that I am still the highest scorer in the league without having picked a winning driver, so that is something to be proud of... kind of :D

I bet Monaco is going to end up with a Rosberg-Hamilton-Vettel podium aswell. Just to twist the knife when I only have one consecutive pick to use.
 
3rd, 4th and 5th for me plus max bouns as I picked before practice :)

Still no CPs earned :crazy:

No wins for me yet and I am ahead of you Seismica :)

The table on the first page says you have one win :P

Though it isn't really a claim to fame, it's just an indicator of how bad my judgement has been. I did reasonably well last year (When I remembered to actually make selections), but this year i'm doing awful. I've been lucky that I haven't had many DNFs, which is the only reason why i'm so high up.
 
My error Seismica; you are correct that your picks have been worse than mine; when it comes to picking winners too :) I forgot I had picked a winner once in 5 races :dopey:

Notes:
  • Remember that the first 2 practice sessions are on the Thursday before the race, not the usual Friday.
 
Ouch. The key to success here is definitely selecting drivers who finish. 1,4,DNF is 23 points worse than 4,8,12.
 
Could everyone make sure to post your selections in the thread after you submit them, Google Docs seems to be having issues of late and I would hate for someone to miss a race because the selections didn't submit.👍
 
Preliminary picks for Monaco:

Rosberg (Using my CP), Raikkonen and Alonso.

I'm hoping I can get my first win. I'm not going to overthink it this time, i'm just going straight with my gut instincts. I may change them after qualifying though.

Fixed :P

I've decided that once I pick, that's it. Inherently fast cars who start back in the field are still doing well in pitstop roulette.
 
Can't believe I only lost two places in that abortion of a race. The worst part is I would have had a 1-4-8 instead of a 1-6-12 had I not switched. :banghead: Such is life, I guess.
 
Dropped way too far :yuck: I think I'll just go ahead and pick for next race so I don't have to come back here for a while. Webber, Massa, Grosjean.
 
Can't believe I'm still holding onto 15th. Anyhoo, picks for Monaco. Webber, Raikkonen & Alonso.

I'm already re-considering selecting Rosberg :P

You are right about the pitstop roulette. Even if a Mercedes is leading the pack, once the pitstops are out of sync the train will break up.

Damn, I really don't know who to pick now. I think i'll just try and ignore it and enjoy the race instead.
 
Surprised to still be top as Hamilton had bit if a shocker in Spain, early picks come in very handy tho.

Still undecided on Monaco.....
 
Hmmm; maintaining station in 6th, but slipped 4 points adrift of the leader.
Me thinks a 1-2-3 is in order.:sly:

Have a selection for Monaco but, as usual, will wait for P2 to finish.
