Comments:
Qualifying was pleasantly democratic this time, with every single duel producing the expected outcome (going by the majority guess - some of us little anarchists found this just a tad disappointing but never mind about that). The race, as we saw, was rather messy but even then, only the Renault – BAR battle produced a surprise ending. Although, when you think about it, it’s actually quite amazing that only two people trusted Renault to win that one.
Results:
Since the qualifying was apparently rather predictable this time, there were no less than 12 (!) players who managed the perfect, 6-correct result. This is a feat worthy of the prestigious Trulli Award which goes to, in alphabetical order: Apex, Aren, AussieF1, d_view7, dnbn, Jimmino, jk, Makarias, Nasty McBastard, pinin406, ron and wioyet.
Predicting the race outcomes proved a bit trickier and, as a result, none of the trulliesque qualifiers managed to reach the elusive perfect total result. Aren came oh so close, though, and only got the last duel wrong. Still, 11 correct is thus far the best individual result in this game. Ric Bol and d_view7 are the runners-up on the podium.

The average score was 9.69 which would’ve been good enough for the 23rd place. The popular guess X21 X1X 121 XXX would’ve been worth 11.10 points and a joint 10th.
And off to the championship standings after round 6/18. I’ve taken the liberty of axing some of the folks that appear to have gone MIA and removed them from the championship standings. I’ll naturally resurrect them if they make a comeback. In a similar manner, and for simplicity, new players will only appear once they participate in more than one round. As a result, it’s now a top 40.
No changes in top 5, except that the gaps extend slightly. dnbn has been residing on the top spot since round 2 and continues to do so. Thumbs up for that! Biggest mover upwards is Aren who climbs no fewer than 13 places to 10th.

Congratulations, everyone, but Aren and dnbn in particular! Good job!
Apparently there’s a new race in about 6 days, so expect a new thread for round 7 guesses to show up soon. Bye for now!
