This is something I have flirted with doing for a while, of putting up a table to show what everyone has picked, but may not do again.
Looking at the table, I want Gordon especially to do well as no one else has him, and Keselowski to do badly as he is the driver I do not have that most others picked. Whereas, for example, in Patrick’s case, if Kahne wins and Webber breaks down on the warm-up lap, it would give him a good week.
Makes it interesting – I kinda did that in my head for NASCAR – everyone had Johnson above me – hence my ‘other’ choices…. Consistency is key – but NASCAR is often difficult, and with 2 week wins and no gains in places, it was time to try something different…
Though of course, I am prepared for the #fail, but at least my 7 F1 pics are reasonably consistent..
Go Perez!

This is handy but politeness prevents me from speculating in public.
Although hooray for 20 second penalties for Webber!

Weirdly, if I’d picked 7 NASCAR drivers I would have actually picked the top 7. F1 was the one to avoid this week… bizarre.

Strange with NASCAR. I looked and thought ‘woohoo! all in the top 10!’ – till I realized most had all in the top 10 AND the winner….
Though I admit I was going to choose Di-Resta based on last years performance for Force India, wished I had now

Crap! I waited hours to ink in the F1 scores in case of penalties, then last night did the weekly score-table and updated the leader-board, and did not leave much to do today to complete the post, until I noticed the Webber penalty. It even flipping changes the minimum score.

I only noticed this afternoon. It was like “oh, Webber got a penalty?”
I think there was a general rush to forget the Singapore GP and move on.
