No Double Points, thank you kindly.

[mario]

Hmm, think that I'll take my time to weigh up my decision (and I am very thankful that last round, I weighed up using my double pints multiplier before holding off). The reason that I want to wait for a bit is the long range weather forecast appears to suggest that rain is a distinct possibility, and given that Bridgestone have brought the two extremes of tyres (which the teams are worried about - too hot, and the super soft will cook itself; too cold, and the hard tyres will not be up to temperature for several laps, if at all), I'd like to see the data from the practise sessions first.

[mario]

Second practise is also a bit misleading, as it has started raining lightly during the session. All in all, it makes it a bit difficult to judge what the true state of play is (although we might as well give it a go).

FFFF, I am late once again, even though I came across this forum and knew that if I wasn't going to post then, I wouldn't make it today. >____<

Don't feel like having any points deducted, so I'll pass this round (again).

For the next race, I plan to use double points, so I better watch out then...

[Enforcer]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Lotus double retire and Virgin should have MLP(T)?

[DemocalypseNow]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Lotus double retire and Virgin should have MLP(T)?

Glock then Senna were the only drivers for the MLP teams that finished...so yes.

[TomWazzleshaw]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Lotus double retire and Virgin should have MLP(T)?

Lotus were 1-2 in qualifying which was what got them over the line.
Over the course of the weekend Lotus scored 27 points compared to Virgin's 24.

[TomWazzleshaw]

Felipe Massa gets IIDOTR but that doesn't change anything with ROTR yet to be decided

[TomWazzleshaw]

The Force get ROTR and this round is declared complete.

So? Where's my 999999999999999999 point penalty for being ridiculously late?

The DMA is the most utterly useless governing body ever...sanction me, I DARE YOU.

[RAK]

How I got a third place out of that, I don't know, but if it keeps me in the top ten, I'm happy about it.
