The streakers' club Italy and China standings
The rules and guesses are here: http://forums.atlasf...&threadid=66136
Current standings in the next post. Post any changes to your guesses here. Remember the point impact this has though, see the rules.
The game is open for new entries, post them before the Japanese GP. Note however that a new entry is considered a 'change', one for each race that has passed, and follows the rules in the aforementioned thread.
Categories in RED already have a winner/winners and cannot be bet on anymore, nor can entries be changed. Categories in blue have got one or more driver eliminated from contention, so pay special attention to those.

Sorry about the delay, had to finish my MA dissertation before having a minor surgery, and since I didn't make it there has been a bit of a pressure lately with trying to finish it with post-tonsil pains
One category closed after Italy, but remained open. In Ferrari had a streak of 1 and a longest streak of 3 in 1.6, and therefore couldn't lose. Anyone could tie, provided someone other than Ferrari grabbed pole in China. That was not to be, and so the only one who could possibly outdo Ferrari's streak of three would be... Ferrari.
Another category closed after China with Schumacher failing to finish in the points for the first time in 10 races. He was close: if he had finished in the points in China and again in Japan he would have been guaranteed a joint win with his team mate. Repeating the feat in Brazil and he'd have been an outright winner. But Barrichello's stunning 11 races in the points in a row from the start of the season proved too bit a task for even Schumacher and so Barrichello is a deserving victor.
Only two categories remain open and both will go to a Ferrari. The Pole streak has been a particularlty evasive one, with Schumacher being the only driver to manage more than 1 in a row, but he got a streak of 3 twice, until now. Barrichello has two going into Japan, and he needs a pole there or Schumacher has won. Should Barrichello manage that, he has a chance to win outright in his home GP.
The other category is the longest streak with getting at least one car to the finish. Two teams have managed to finish every race in the season, and both are Ferrari powered. With only two races to go they look set to share the prize, but will one of them stumble and leave a single victor? We shall soon find out.

Estwald scored 16
Makarias scored 12
AD, fifi, lukywill, Pioneer, QdfV, shays, skylark68, tinman, Ventura and Viss1 scored 10
Alapan, DeathMaster and LB, scored 6
Alapan has a firm grip on the title. The top three players all have their bets on Schumacher and Ferrari for the last categories so no matter the outcome, Alapan will win. Unless tinman changes his vote to Barrichello for 1.1 or Sauber for 1.8, or both, and the results go his way will he win. Makarias can only hope for a tie, as if he changes his vote to Barrichello that will be his 3rd change making it worth only 4 points. He would also have to change his other guess to Sauber, bringing that down to 6 points, leaving with a possible 10 points, provided Barrichello takes pole in the remaining races, and that both Ferraris fail to finish in either of them, with Sauber finishing both. That could grab him an equal first place, but would also risk his already fragile 3rd place even more.
Of course most of the players currently with 70 points could do the same, giving them 12 points and a potential tied first place. Estwald could outsmart them all and become outright winner.
We have an interesting situation here, folks, and therefore I will ask you to PM me your changes for the final rounds to keep everyone in the dark ;) Who will take the risk and who will play it safe?
