A couple of things about the result thread. Please feel free to discuss, boast or generally make comments in this thread. I will try to get these results posted each race weekend before the start of the GP but no promises. You will note that the word "rookie" will appear against some names each week, this means that this is the first round they have entered this year. I will let you know how the group collectively went in guessing the final makeup of the grid by averaging all the guesses. The top ten is decided first by the ten drivers that get the most mentions, then the average of those guesses. Going forward I will also compare this to the WDC points standings, initially last years, and the super stats qualifying result as published by Autosport.com, once again this first one is based on last year.
By the way don't forget to pick 10 drivers each week, I will not be reminding you to amend your guess if you do not list enough names so you score no points for the shortfall of guesses. If you post two entries in the thread I will take the last one of these regardless of whether you then go back and amend your first guess. I usually don't find these until I am collating the results and all the timestamps have been stripped out so I have no idea which was the last otherwise. If you pick a driver twice I will score the highest position, you will not score any points for the lower second position
Now on to the information you are looking for. A slowish start to the year brought on by a rather surprising, to me anyway, first grid of the season. Raikkonen down in 16th, Alonso in 12th, Kubica in 2nd (although an1res isn't surprised by that). The top score of 16 going to k-one. Second went to Amanda with third to Crazy Canuck, lofoukie, molive, rodlamas, shays, skylark68, tenmantaylor, tkulla and xman. The average grid score was the worst I have ever seen at 8 putting it near the end of the field at 61st along with 5 others. WDC scored 12 points good enough for 12th along with 11 others, while SuperStat went one better on 13 placing 3rd. Here is the full result table for this round.
