MLP: Vettel

MLP stands for Minor League Premiership. I don't see why Vettel is part of that

Thanks- I had no idea what half of these mean- i will change it to Pic

[Londoner]

MLP: Vettel

Thanks- I had no idea what half of these mean- i will change it to Pic

Nope.avi

Minor League Premiership is for the best placed rookie driver. Pic may be anonymous, but he certainly isn't a rookie.

DBTMOTR: Gutierrez (get out of Formula One)
MLP: Bottas
DNQ: The amount of laps the Life L190 turned a wheel in anger on the Saturday of a Grand Prix weekend (this answer should be patently obvious)

As for the scores for the previous rounds, I do indeed have a new laptop, but I have just received my first two assignments this week, so very little chance of me getting around to tackling the backlog, as things stand at the moment.

As East Londoner just said it's got to be one of the rookies namely Bottas, Gutierrez, Bianchi, Van der Garde or Chilton

Bottas used to be a lock for MLP for me but now that Guti and Sauber have improved I think Guti will be a lock for it and considering your Views about Chilton (Such as not being part of our illustrious ChiltonCraze) then there's a snowflake's chance in Hell that you'll be picking him for MLP

[Gvozdenovic]

Grosjean win pays 15...it was 30 in Korea. Bookies know it, a new star is rising.

[Gvozdenovic]

Also, this Hulkenberg bandwagon, lol, his average spot, counting all of your predictions is like fifth.

MLP: Vettel
