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 . 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 , 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" . "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!
