I am still not really sure what to make of Brazil. Once Fernando had secured 3rd the race, for want of a better word, seemed a formality. Sure there was some stuff going on around the other places and the "constructers" was still wide open but it still seemed a nothing race to me. Ravi's Mechanics make their 2nd visit to the podium in a row and their 1st to the top step with a score of 712, the 3rd best score of the year. Second was SkorbiF1 with Grand Prix Gators 3rd again.

Japan
Once again wet conditions managed to shake up qualifying and the results a little this round. It also didn't help a lot of people having Montoya spin off before completing a race lap and Sato's DQ didn't help either. We see Touring Milano make their 1st visit to the podium and the top step with a score of 688. Second was Tarzan Army while Scuderia Pioneer took out third.

Just when I thought things were sorting themselves out at the top it is all change again. This has to be the closest season yet for Fantasy Manager. IF Only F1, on 10606 points, has raced to the top to lead by a paltry 4 points. AnttiF1 holds on to second. While we have a two way tie for third between Wild Guess and Viiksi a mere 11 points further back. Biggest mover was No More Concorde Agreement falling 13 places to now be 37th.
With the closeness of this season I would like Apex and d_view7 to PM me with their guess, before the start of the race, as to how many race laps will be completed in total by all the drivers. If everyone completes every race lap then the maximum will be 1120 laps. This is just in case these two teams manage to overhaul the leading 2 and is the tie-breaker question. [edit]To be on the safe side Al. and Antti should also PM me their guesses. The winner will be the closest guess if more than 1 guess is the same gap from the actual result I will try to think of some other way to break the tie.[/edit]
I am hoping to do well enough in the China round to end up in the top 50
