Oh no. Oh dear.

Oh dear, oh dear.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

I didn't make my picks before qualifying, so I have now lost almost everything.

So this is it then - the end.

Regrets, I've had a few...

Mind you, I would have gone for Vettel too.

My oh my, how one race changes things. Big Boy had the best race with 17 points and is now 3rd in the standings having advanced four positions. This is perhaps the highest point total this year so far? Let's set the bar at 20 points as a new goal for someone.

BB and Richard where the only two to pick Hamilton to win.

We now have the big summer break with the Belgian GP on August 25. Good luck to all! Pete

Very sorry guys - absolutely no skill/intelligence applied

Don't they say that if you sit a monkey at a keyboard long enough, it would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare?

[PeteC]

****Correction****

Previous races Vital Spark scored 19 points and JJBones 17 points. So, VS still leads the highest score competition. 20 now set as the next goal for someone. Pete

I shall await Richard's first sonnet with bated breath.......

Very sorry guys - absolutely no skill/intelligence applied

I'm with you on that one BB. Forsooth, Mr.VS along with most of the other players in our league know far more about the sport than I do - I should go forthwith to learn a bit more.
