Oh and Phoenix has earned himself a one point bonus for saving me the hassle of removing the fall guy prediction. And while it's probably self-explanatory, the following drivers are eligible for the MLP:

Esteban Gutierrez
Valarie Bottas
Max Chilton
Giedo van der Garde
Jules Bianchi

[Shizuka]

Since the DNQ prediction is quite obsolete now HRT is gone, how about replacing it with a prediction for the slowest qualifier from Malaysia onwards?

This really needs to be considered, if there won't be a DNQ in Melbourne. And how else should it be named than "Alex Yoong Award", considering he was slowest in basically all qualis (not counting Melbourne 2002 - Sato had his run in the wet)? And "AYA" sounds good in short.

There was also a mention of naming two IIDOTR instead of one. What about that? I'll take care of counting those, so that shouldn't be a problem.

[DanielPT]

Valarie Bottas

That is the new female driver in F1?

[TomWazzleshaw]

Valarie Bottas

That is the new female driver in F1?

Hey, it's much easier to remember than Valtteri. And besides, we need something to compliment all the Britney jokes down at Mercedes

My drunken predictions

2. Maldonado
3. Button
4. Massa

10. Hamilton (in case he actually does something this weekend)

Pole: Vettel

DNQ: Both Caterhams seems likely, but they will be allowed to race

Just to clarify, rookies this year are Bottas, van der Garde, Bianchi, Chilton and Gutierrez? Have I missed anyone? I doubt it.

This is a different version of F1 with cartoon characters instead of the regular drivers.
And if you don't know who Norm Wendell is, he's a character from Crash Canyon which is a Canadian cartoon that sees him and his family trapped in a canyon. Check out the Wikipedia article.
