It’s nice to see my work paying off. The hours of research and data analytics in trying to get all the top picks, but somehow not get any of them correctly slotted, is difficult, but a challenge I embrace.

The skill of being profoundly unlucky isn’t something most can learn or acquire, it really is something you’re either born with or not.

I look forward to winning the prize for “most unlucky” at the end of the year, though I expect it would get lost in the mail anyway.

So if somebody was heading to an F1 race for the first time, any recommendations on things to do? Is there always a public pit walk for ticket holders on Thursday?

The COTA repave looked to be pretty good. Bad bump on the exit of T1 heading down the hill into T2. Other than that, it looked to be pretty smooth. Hard to get a really good feel for how the esses were as the cars were on the rumble strips.

Crazy that pole was 2:10.7.

Selecting first worked well for me last time, so I'll give it another go. It has the side benefit of ensuring I don't forget.

Good call... since Qualy is at 11pm Friday time...please make sure you get your picks in BEFORE 11PM!! Ill be a bit more strict this race. Any picks after will be inverted (10th becomes 1st).

Is that fair? Just get picks in by 11pm Friday.

As a suggestion, maybe just randomize their picks (presuming you use Excel to manage the pool). If you simply reverse order their picks, that's pretty easy to exploit.

Alternatively, you could give them Ryan Coke's selections, because we all know how that will end.

I'm not really sure what else can be done.

Ohhhhhh...I like that idea. I'll randomize the pics. Although both are arguably worse than simply not picking and getting last week's carryover.

Maybe that's a good change for next year. Missed picks get previous weeks but randomized.

Just get the picks in!

Random picks from the bottom 10 in WDC points. Make it a real challenge.

Holy moly, FP1 was damn near a demo derby.

Like wow. I've never seen that.

Sounds like the GPS system went out and cars had no clue where each other were for part of the practice.

Sad there will be no rain for the race.

Jenson's comment about drivers having to use their eyes instead was pretty funny.
