Predicament Predictions - 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix

[TomWazzleshaw]

Damn... forgot to open it last night so before I have to disappear for school today I'll open the thing now. The only thing that has changed for this round is the fact that DBTMOTR will now be decided on the average positions behind their respective teammates for Q1, Q2, Q3 and the race. Also for every lap behind their teammate they are they get bonus points.
Anyways onto the real business for this weekend

Even with that, I'll keep my prediction the same. The only thing different will be that Massa will be even more dead-beat than I originally predicted

I'm guessing that neither of you fully understands the concept of the predictions post format? (Not that it's a major problem as you can still get a few points for those predictions but not many)

I'm guessing that neither of you fully understands the concept of the predictions post format?

Well I made a start but then got distracted! Apologies.

I wasn't being totally serious hence the at the end of the statement.
And no need for apologies. I was just helping you on your way to get extra points

Flicking through that article, I liked this particular line at the end, saying that the weather would "ensure the customary uncomfortable working environment for all."
