Next up a reminder about the rules when it comes to getting entries in on time. For Australia we had 2 players who posted late. As they posted on the Friday they were able to plead their case to Gerry and he has let their entries stand. However Grundle posted on the Saturday for Malaysia, according to my calculations, and therefore the entry has been rejected according to the rules.
On to this round then. Just shows what a little bit of precipitation and poor forecasting can do to a grid! No Ferrari's or McLaren's in the top ten allowed a few others to have a go at appearing there. Consequently the mixed up grid has resulted in some poor scoring this round. We have a two way tie for top score in Malaysia between race addicted and witt both acheiving the phenomenal score of 13. 3rd was a five way tie between boost, brunopascal, Feanaro, iotar and rodlamas.
The Bot entries didn't fare any better with the Average Grid, where all players on average picked the drivers to end up, scoring a mid table 8 points. Superstat, based on the average season-to-date qualifying position, went one worse on 7. Not surprising given 4 of the top runners failed to get past Q1. WDC, based on current Championship standings, managed to make it to the podium with 11 points. I think this is the first time I have seen a score from WDC that would get it anywhere near the podium.
On to the results table.
