Re: Round #2 of the '06 Fantasy F1 Competition - Picks are due Friday Mar 17 1:00AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TEAM JIMARDI HOPES TO BUILD ON BAHRAIN MOMENTUM
Having scored more points than Toyota, MF-1, or Super Aguri at the recent Grand Prix of Bahrain, Team Jimardi principal Jimal Temus is confident of building momentum for the balance for the Formula One season.
“Starting at the beginning of the season is of great advantage to us,” noted Jimal. “We left allot of points on the table last season.”
As for his Bahrain picks?
“The first race is always a good time to take risks. I knew going in that Scott Speed was a risk. I was gambling on V-10 reliability for the first race or two. While both Scuderia Toro Rosso cars completed the race distance, expecting points from either Speed or Liuzzi was a bit optimistic. You can take the Minardi off the engine cover, but you can’t take the Minardi out of the team. I was confident with the rest of my picks, as they were and are proven drivers. What are the odds that McLaren, Renault and Honda would suffer race day problems only with the drivers I picked?”
For the next round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, to be contested at the Sepang Circuit in Malaysia, Team Jimardi is going to go more conservative with his picks.
“For the “A Group”, I’ve decided to pick Michael Schumacher, as Ferrari seems to be back on their game, and Fernando Alonso, as Renault seems to have lost nothing over the winter. For my “B Group” picks, I’m sticking with Rubens Barrichello, as the 3rd gear failure on the Honda was a bit freakish. I’m also going with Red Bull Ferrari’s Christian Klein. He’s been driving under the radar, but driving exceptionally well. My team pick will be Ferrari.”
Team Jimardi struggles with the “107% rule” from its 2-car garage “headquarters” in Bristol, Conn.

Re: Round #2 of the '06 Fantasy F1 Competition - Picks are due Friday Mar 17 1:00AM
A heads up to all of you who picked either Massa or Coulthard - please note that both of them will have their engines changed, which will automatically give them a 10 position qualifying penalty.
Now aren't I a sporting competitor? I say 'pffft!' to all those naysayers who portray me as a cheater..

Sy, why don't you just make the picks for them? That way they won't have to sign in each week and you can just e-mail us all at the end of the season and tell us who won.

Predictions.
Next year there will be one tire manufacturer in F1.
Indy will be on next year's calendar.
Tony George willl make alot of money at next year's Indy race given Bernie's "discounted" santioning fee, in spite of the record low attendance at the event.
Team's will alll sue Michelin due to lost sponsor revenue and related lawsuits. No money will ever change hands.
Max Mosley will try to penalize teams (by taking points away in next three races) for Indy fiasco. Drivers will not be penalized.
Michael Schmacher will win the World Championship
Rubens will ask for a release from Ferarri at the end of this year.

Re: Round #2 of the '06 Fantasy F1 Competition - Picks are due Friday Mar 17 1:00AM
CDH just discovered a bug in the 'pick counting' segment of the spreadsheet, which was that only 3 of 4 driver picks were being shown for each member. Anyway, I found the bug and fixed it, and the new version has been uploaded.
A big Thank You to Doug for finding it.

These picks are made at random, so after I read the rules, I'll be making more informed pics. Watchout I have a vast untapped reserve of knowledge from 'The world according to KWL'

Re: Round #2 of the '06 Fantasy F1 Competition - Picks are due Friday Mar 17 1:00AM
Sometimes you have your graceful last second full body Mission Impossible slide under those unrelenting garage doors of time...
And sometimes you wake up shivering with blood shot eyes, dry mouth, a bit of drool and a throbbing hang-over on the wrong side of those unrelenting doors.
Sorry Chris. St. Patrick has left the building.
(My literary characterization is just that and no reflection on Chris or his rough treatment by St. Patrick.)

do you get any points potential for picking wurz? i wasn't aware that testers or friday drivers gave you any points so why pick them? i know that pizzonia, wurz and de la rosa and doornbos drove last year but aren't driving this year.

Re: Round #2 of the '06 Fantasy F1 Competition - Picks are due Friday Mar 17 1:00AM
ok thanks doug. i just assumed after seeing he had picked wurz that other 3rd drivers were listed as well. he just made a mistake with picking an ineligible driver. sorry to bother you, i should have read that page again.
