2013 F1 Pool

[redzonerocker]

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

Not quite sure about that . . . . . but i did win the F1 pool last year

[Big Boy]

Maybe you're the case that proves the theory after taking the wooden spoon the year before

Guys, I've just arrived in HH so I missed the start of the pool. I would like to know where the best place in HH is to watch the practices, qualifying and race. Preferably where you can hear the commentary and get a frosty beverage. Thanks!

[Pleng]

The practice session you have pretty much no chance of seeing in a bar - you'll have to check it out online. Qualifying and race then Montri in the Hilton area is a good shot. They have 3 screens and will always dedicate at least one to F1 if somebody wants to watch, even if there's football on.

Also the City Beach hotel will put it on for you if you ask. Though you're at the mercy of the guests - if a group come down and demand something else is put on then you will be overruled (never actually happened to me, but did come close once).

Thanks!

Thanks!

If you want to play in the pool no problems. Go to the below and sign up. It's for fun and you can see how you do week by week for the rest of the season. Pete

Vettel takes another one and now leads in the championship by 46 points. Seven of us picked him to win. Lindosfan had the best race with 19 points and ties the pool best score so far this season. The top three are now Pharvey, myself and Big Boy. Off to Italy now for September 8, good luck to all. Pete

Vettel wins another but beware, I don't think he'll win all remaining. Nine of us picked him to win. Vettel now has 222 points with Alonso at 169 and Hamilton at 141.

Lindosfan had the best race with 18 points. His second 'best race' in a row. The top three this week are myself, Pharvey and Lindosfan.

Next up is Singapore in a fortnight, September 22. Please let us know if you plan to attend. Good luck to all

Vettel takes the pole again in Singapore. Nine of us picked him to do so. Getting a bit predictable isn't it?

Getting a bit predictable isn't it?

Also getting to be a pain in the posterior, especially his stupid habit of sticking one finger up at everybody. Oh yes, I know what he has said it means, but I am sure a lot of people take it as a rude gesture.

Webber pipped at the post again!
