Perfect score for WillieF1, Nasty McBastard, LB, DeathMasteR, asterix, JensonFan and Schummy! A whopping 19 out of 43 have got 5 or 6 points!
An interesting fact is that 42 of 43 have guess MS in podium. This is probably a sort of record in our game. Just one who I will not reveal did not guess MS (no, I will not say he was titrisol !;) ). As I said before, this was not a good round for "different" or risky guesses. In fact it rewarded unimaginative , coward guesses, like mine!
Welcome to fifi (4 points) for coming here to play this little game with us. He/she was the only rookie in this round.

And the new leaders are... DeathMasteR and Schummy They are done a good leap with maximum scores and have profited of the relative step back of ealier top guys/gals TT6 and fisichella_2001 . LB and Nasty MacBastard (is it the pseudonym of Ron Dennis ??) have advanced a good step to the top too with their 6s.
People with 19, 18 and 17 points are currently the reservoir of candidates for the final top positions (9 players). Those who have 16 or 15 are waiting their opportunty to gain terrain; in fact if you read the names in this 16/15 category you will get pretty nervous because there are a bunch of top quality players there
In the disasters dept one has to look at people who did very well last year and this season got 0s and are not recovering as expected (maybe they will be chosen by Williams F1 Team for next year!) : Makarias (formerly known as Carlos "Makarias" Sainz, currently known as Ralf "Makarias" Firman ;) ), Ghostrider (with one 0 and one missed round ).
About our bots, BERNIE is doing a good job , with 15 points. In fact, just 12 people can outperform "him" by now. MAX... frankly speaking, "he/it" is being just ridiculous ! I'm sure some people will be glad MAX is so low ranked, thinking about certain sibling in FIA... Of course there are real people who have less points than MAX, but those people at least make risk with their guesses, and MAX supposedly is a boring-rational-unbiased player (pardon, I was speaking about our MAX ).

Next stop in Palazio Rinaldi in Montecarlo. The usual rules there: "gentlemen, start your engines and don't overtake!". I suppose front places for grid will be hardly fought. One of the most beautiful qualifying sessions of all the season, please don't miss it, be it on TV or on line.
Goodbye and (don't worry) be happy!
