I suppose Michael Schumacher has a lot less troubles chosing his "new" car every season! Specially as one Byrne is actually designing it for him.Hungaroring... at least FIA has not chopped it (it was born chopped anyway). I remember that initial layout was even more winding than current one! It had a really funny series of wildy slow corners just after turn one. I remember Adrian Campos saying he had to use clutch and first gear to drive thru them
Funny, as I said.Some people has said in Atlas Forum that Macs could do a Monaco here in this second slower track. Maybe this is the opportunity to guess podiums for David and Kimi for all those lurking here who are supporters for them ;) But the risk is, of course, MS rains the parade. In this track is even difficult to Michael let pass Rubens for a win, because it is so hard to overtake here
On other side, JPM apparently are not deeply in love with this circuit, maybe it is too far from the ovals he become so fond of in America ;) Ralfie certainly could win, as far he gets pole, as he is not a great overtaker (huge understatement?) or if people in front of him get troubles (but can his Williams overperform in reliability Ferraris and/or Macs?) Actually the most reliable vehicle in Williams team is Frank's chair .
As always, I hope to see some brave guesses, i.e. non Ferrari-Williams-Mac. Someone wants to guess Nick, Jax, Fisi (hey, is his namesake listening?
) or even Button? The day I see gerry_nassar or Estwald guessing one of theses, I'll consider it too!;)It's unnecessary to remind you how exciting the current clasif table is. Gerry ahead of Estwald for one point, and Viss1 hunting Estwald at two points length, and a succession of people almost in a tie.
In other order of things, can Schuting Star repeat her awesome success? Can LuckyStrike be lucky (or wise) for a second time and become our own "Shooting Star"
? ----------------------------Warning! The Usual Boring Part Ahead! ---------------------------
It consists in guessing the three firsts in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. MS-JPM-RS) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:
Suppose you do the guess MS-JPM-RS.
If MS is 1st, 3 points
if MS is 2nd, 2 points
if MS is 3rd, 1 point
If JPM is 1st, 2 points
if JPM is 2nd, 2 points
if JPM is 3rd, 1 point
If RS is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point
It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.
The key for this system is not "gambling" on the exact position but to do a realistic shot at the relative merit of each driver in that GP. For instance, you are not penalized for JPM being first and not 2nd, as the penalty comes by not scoring with MS's first position.
In order to have a reference I will enter two "dummy" players: Bernie and Max (the names were chosen randomly ). Bernie always guesses the firsts three qualifyers, and Max always guesses the firsts three classified in WDC current points table. Can you outscore B&M?
Any guess can be done before one hour before the official first start of the race. We will use the "official" Atlas Forum clock to resolve close entries.
Sometimes I calculate a new secundary classification with average score to give an opportunity to no so constant players, that fail to guess from time to time.

Thanks to everyone to be here and welcome to any newcomer that wants to entry in our little game
We will meet on Sunday!
Good weekend for everyone! 
PS: Our mate fisichella_2001 is actually on holyday and he/she/it ;) vote thru a private message was: MSCH-BARR-COUL . A David supporter. Good thought, Monaco worked for him, why not Budapest?
