Ladies and gentlemen, start your guesses!

Monaco can be the perfect time for a Ferrari slip out of form, exactly as happened with Mansell in 1992.... Ok, I have not said it seriously :blush: Brilliant JPM can get a win in this skilled-driver track? Can Coulthard repeat his win :lol: ? (sorry for the laugh, I didn't intent to be rough). Can Prince Rainiero drive drive the second Jaguar to the win? All those are possible arguments for a non-Ferrari win.

But let's out the fairy tales and go with the hard, harsh, grey reality: the guesses.

This time I will not put the rules. They can be seen in any other thread of the game. I do put, however the recommendations for input format:

Format norms:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From now on "officially supported" format for guesses are:

1) XX XX XX

or

2) XX - XX - XX

or

3) XX / XX / XX

Where "XX" are driver's names. Those driver´s names, can be (in order of preference) :

a) (native format of this game) Two or three letters initial: MS, KR. FA, JPM,...

or

b) (popular format as in guess the grid and guess the result )First four letters of surname (except Schu brothers, msch and rsch) : raik, mont, alon,...

or

c) complete surname (and first name's initial in case of Schues) : raikkonen, mschumacher, montoya, alonso,...

However, it doesn't mean other formated entries are not admitted, I'll do my best to enter every guess in the game, it just take me more time
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guesses examples: (it is not required to put your nick in the guess, in fact *don't put your nick* :))

LB: It was just a joke ;)

DC is a good driver but you have to admit he is not in the same league as the legends Stewart or Clark. Stewart was the first driver I saw in TV (1969), and so he always was (is) my "heroe" :love:

If DC wins with that current pitiful McLaren, I will acknowledge he is the third reincarnation of Clark & Stewart :cool:

Mobil1:

Trulli used to qualify well and race badly. Now he is improving his racecraft. But I don't see him as yet as a likely regular podium man. Although I'd like to see him doing well, I consider his podium in Spain as a "fluke".

But if he get pole in Monaco, my guess will be... :cool:

Damn, Estwald & Ghostrider just told what I was planning to bet.

& Since I'm not at the top, I have to make a different one...

So it be the following:

JB-MS-JT

(Since there are some traditions, about Monaco) :drunk:

This is one of the most difficult GPs to predict I have seen during the life of this game. Look at the grid :eek: : Trulli and Ralf are not acknowledged as great racers, but they undoubtly have a golden opportunity to get a prestigious win in Montecarlo.

I see many people has an unbounded confidence in MS: to win in Monte from a 5th position is VERY difficult and it need a lot of assistance from Lady Luck.

Trulli, Ralf, Jenson, Alonso, Michael,... the podium is there, but what three and what order? Wow... difficult.

I suppose this round will be a lot of variance among guesses; classification will change... I see myself falling in a long, black hole, there in the bottom together with my friend panzani and Dr. Moody, practically a Near Death Experience.
