Finally there was not sand storms or dunes eating the track ;) . Why people always thinks in bizarre things when confronted with first times? It would be like expecting a tornado in USGP :) or a torero with a red cloth in the middle of the track in Montmeló.

Sand storms didn't appear, but Ferrari's storm certainly happened. These days I'm seeing F1 races more and more like "Wacky Races" toons, or the unforgettable film Lemmon-Curtis' "The Great Race". I can see the evil Todt pushing one of those buttons he has in his belt, and Kimi's car exploding or Curtis-Montoya's BMW losing screws and nuts. Meanwhile the baddie Red Baron Von Schumacher goes comfortably to the finish line.

Not a unimaginable podium at all, and thus lots of goods results, but above them it brights the perfect score by Makarias :clap: . Excellent job!
It is interesting to point out MAX's second position (he always guess earliest than everyone and then wins the untie rule).

Some people were by the blasphemy route : guesses without MS or with him in a low position, and they payed for that ;) . You can see those sinners in the back of the list with 0 or 1 points ;) . Yes, I know, when Ferrari's Empires falls, they will be with superb scores at the front side of the table... (ummm, I hope it happens soon, team domination in F1 is never good for the show)

Total classification is commanded by Ric Bol :clap: , a true classic here in this game. He is our first single leader this season (I am not meaning any familiar status here ;) ). After him, in a priviledged position are Apex, Bjorn, Ghosty, Pioneer, fisi, KWSN (ummm, I always thought *he* was a radio station ), Makarias and Ventura . And then a lot of "muscled" well-known players with 8 points (well, I also have 8 points, I admit I've been lucky).
For example, there is Viss1 , about him I have repeated several times that he has an "unfair" advantage because he consults his guesses with his wise dog "Devo" :love: . "Devo" is a learned F1 fan, he watch races on TV and when he is scared by an accident, he barks (he also barked when Erja, Hakkinen's wife appeared on screen).

I usually have a look at the bottom side of the table, but I'm sorry to see the bad streak some people are having. Look at TT6 and 130R (hey, I think I have seen both of them in "Star Wars" movie), they have got 1 and 2 points respectively. I'm sure they are going to
improve their average in subsequents races.

And that was all, folks! Now we get a gap until Imola, so it will take a bit until we meet again for San Marino's GP.
Thanks for playing with us! :wave:

A little note about miss-scores. Veteran people here knows about it, but for the newer players, I'll remind miss-scores are points given to people who miss *some* rounds, in orther to not give them automatically zero points. Miss-scores can be 0, 1 or 2 points (details in rules).

Until third round miss-score points cannot be given, because, as wrote in rules, it is for people who guesses more than half of rounds (and thus misses less than half of rounds), and, so, it is not possible with just two rounds. With three rounds there will be people with two guesses and one miss and they will be eligible for miss-scores.

Also, don't forget miss-scores are adjusted to be *bad* scores, so "miss-scorers" will not be usually in top positions by the moment. It just helps people who forgets (or is not able) to put the guess to not be thrown out of the positions. It has a funny side at it too: sometimes people who risk a surprising guess can get *less" points than who is missing the round ;) , so, in a sense, people can do worse than null if their guess becomes catastrophic :)

Right after submitting my guesses I heard a sound of massive engine blow up. Third time in a row. :mad:

Anyway, if Kimi doesn't win a race this season I'll be surprised. Let's have patience with Macs! :) Championship is lost but...

:lol: At first he would bark at Erja, then as the years wore on he would just kind of groan
