I was hoping with new ownership, and Carey replacing Ecclestone, that crap like this would stop.

But I will fully admit I'd be more upset if it was Mercedes haha

Ok folks, I'm back and ready to get this kicked off for AUSTRALIA in a couple weeks!!! Everyone that has replied so far is entered. and if you haven't replied, do it ASAP!! A reminder for overall rules:

- Picks due FRIDAY midnight Calgary time. All picks must be submitted before qualifying and this is just an easy cut off. If your picks get posted Sunday morning at 5am...no bueno.
- Everyone gets 2 missed race weekends. After that you'll get NO ENTRIES for the rest of the missed races. The missed race picks will be the picks from the week before. If you miss 3 weekends...no bueno.
- 1 point for right pick in top 10, 4 points for correct slot, 1 extra point for correct slotted driver who gets fastest lap.

Prizes...last year almost everyone chipped in $10 and we got a trophy as well as some swag from Red Bull Ring when I was there. Happy to do it again this year, although I don't have any race plans so far... Maybe speede5 can grab some
- Most Total Points...Overall Champ...Trophy
- Most Correct Slotted Picks...first pick of prizes
- Second Most Total Points...leftovers

So...if you send $10 I'll aggregate it all and see what I can get. Everyone who pays has a chance to win. No pay, no prizes...but you can still be champion. We can reserve the trophy for those that pay as well since it did cost $$ last year if people prefer.

Hopefully that works for everyone...I'm stoked for the season!!

This year I am going to do myself a favour, and never pick Haas to finish top ten.

I'm hoping Racing Point takes a big step forward this season so I can stop losing points to patriotism.

Leaving for Germany next week! Unfortunately there is a travel ban once I get there due to Corona but I'm sure to get something in this year. Going to Spa for qually last year got me pumped to do a full weekend at some point.

I'm really hoping more races don't get canceled. Was really looking forward to Vietnam, but I suspect that will be the next to go.

Same...I was trying to convince my wife to go to the race this year. But with it being year 1 we thought it'd be a big cluster so we are hoping to go next year. I'm surprised it hasn't been delayed TBH. They already cancelled the Chinese GP, so i agree completely that it will be the next one.

I'd imagine they're going to try and sneak some/all of the cancelled races in during a break later in summer/fall.

Also, the FIA-Ferrari secret engine decision is not going over very well. Every non-Ferrari team signed the letter to the FIA...It's been clear since forever that Ferrari has way too much voice in F1. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/s...ction/4716003/

I wonder if a bunch end up getting cancelled if they run some back to back weekends in the places they can actually race. Maybe we get 2 Canadian GP's!


And ya, the Ferrari decision was a total disaster. I'm not sure how they expected it to turn out...

Formula 1 bosses were not convinced Ferrari's engine was always legal in 2019 but did not take further action because of the difficulty of proving it.

Just saw on CBC that Bahrain GP is now being closed to spectators because of Corona. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/b...doors/4729761/

Ferrari (and I assume Alpha) are headed to Oz despite the Italian lockdown: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f...an-gp/4729820/

I'm happy to do it for sure. I just don't want people to not participate over $10...so kind of left the door open.

If people want to send $10 I'll definitely get some prizes organized for those that pay to play. If not, no biggie, still enter and try to dethrone THE CHAMP!

If it's not too late I'd like to join for this year. I expect I'm just donating $10 to someone as I'm pretty new to F1. Most of my knowledge comes from the old Grand Prix computer game I used to play back in 1995. I'll just assume that Williams is still the top team.
