F1 2010

[David Morton]

I think we are all honest gentlemen so do we need anyone to 'hold' ?
How about $1000 ? or if thats a bit too steep then $10.......?
After all, it's only a bit of fun.

 

[Mike]

Do you only get points for a correct selection? i.e. if you select Vettel for first and he comes in second, that's a zero?
Alonso
Schuey
Massa
Vettel
Hamilton

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

I was only talking about this weekend's race, but David's idea of predicting the Championship places sounds like fun. David I think $10.00 is a better option than $1000.00.
Entries should be in before first Qualifying session, do you think?

My selections,
Webber
Vettel
Alonso
Hamilton
Massa
Schumacker.
Button.

 

[David Morton]

Pete: Absolutely - before the first green light of the season.
Where has your sense of humour gone?
Do you want to use the first five in your selection ?
Possibly more fun than moaning about drawings?
Any more for any more??
Mike: Again, absolutely correct - A Norge (nil points) [for those outside Eu, stems from the Eurovision song contest where Norway usually never scores anything - ever]
I really know that it's Vettels year.
And I have a small secret but I'll guard it for the moment......

Yep first five it is....I reckon I should get extra points for putting Webber in though.

 

[David Morton]

Hardly. I think it will be an easy $10 from you Pete.
You might as well send it now.
Thats 10 points for first place, then eight, seven, six and finally five for fifth place.
You can only achieve 26 points........
You could change your mind before the off................ ??

 

[John]

Hmmm, I will go with:

Alonso
Massa
Schumacher
Webber
Vettel

 

[Chris E]

I'm in with

Alonso
Hamilton
Vettel
Massa
Schumacher

 

[David Morton]

Seven so far......
Keep coming guys - the more the merrier.
I guess we did not discuss what happens if there is a draw on points
as it might just happen.

Split the money ?

Sorry I'm a little dense. Am I correct that you only want five drivers nominated, if so I will take my top five but may change the order around before the first Quallie.

Yep split the money if its a draw. Since it is an international comp should we work on
$U.S. or some other currency? For exchange rate purposes.

 

[Pat Buckley]

This may be redundant, but I am in.

 

[David Morton]

yes - five and you can change what ever you like until the first green light
- after that just send me your money.... Only joking.
US Dollars is OK by me.

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Which Green light? First Quallie, or race start? Gotta get the rules right $10 bucks is ten Bucks right?

BTW, I just watched a formula three race run last year at Sandown, catching up on the saved files. It was won in the wet by a fifteen year old, (correct fifteen year old)
Kiwi by the name of Mitch Evens.
Superb car control and an old head on young shoulders. He spoke like he had been dealing with the press for years at the presentation. If you are a team boss or manager reading this pick the kid up now!
I am not related nor do I have a vested interest, but if you read this 10% for the heads up would be nice.

 

[David Morton]

First Q on Saturday. OK?

 

[Pat Buckley]

OK


Sounds good.

 

[Mike]

David, are you going to honcho the selections? ...not that anyone on this forum would lie, cheat or steal...except when absolutely necessary...but those of us on Medicare may forget by the end of the year...what was it we were blathering on about???

P.S. That Ledaig whiskey is something else. You guys down under might even trade Fosters for some of this. I'd never even heard of it until Mr. Morton brought it up last week )

As stated before Aussies do not drink Fosters, it is like sex on the beach.

Ah, the advantages of not having sandy beaches......now where is that beer?
